INTRODUCTION

The English language for Communication Course is a course to enable

students to use English in Various real life context and takes into account the

linguistic needs of the teachers and thus the teaching sessions are developed in

response to their needs.

One activity of the speaking component which gives the students the

exposure to be focuses on correct stress, pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. In

public speaking, we need to take into consideration the aspect of the language such

as pronunciation, texts and the rules and regulations of public speaking.

In order to complete this task, we must prepare a folio that contains features

of spoken language. This is a grouping task. So, we must find about relevant

materials on pronunciation, stress, rhythm and intonation. we must present the

information in the form of graphic organizers. But, we must highlight the important

points before present it in the form graphic organizers.

Besides, we must prepare a speech of not less than five minutes on given

subject matter in written form. After that, we should present the speech in the class.

Lastly, we should prepare an overall reflection on our task experience.

Top ten tips for incredibly successfulpublic speaking

I've been to something likeone hundred conferences and corporate events in

the past several years as I travel the world delivering keynotes and running

seminars. I've seen a few great speeches. Sadly, most speeches I see are not very

good. Some are downright terrible.

I've been collecting some observations on what makes a good presentationand also drawing from my own experience.

Most of us have an opportunity to speak, perhaps at your industry event, or

your company's sales conference, or to a local club.

Make the most of your opportunity.

1. Take it seriously. If 200 people are in a room and you speak for a half

hour, you are taking up 100 hours of peoples time. I see many speakers "wing it"and it makes me feel sorry for the audience. Don't look bad.

2. Know the conference organizer's goals.When I speak, I work with

organizers to deliver three goals in equal proportion: Education, entertainment, and

motivation. Since I am a paid speaker, I must deliver on all three so the conference

organizer is happy they invited me. You need to know the goals for being on the

podium too. Why were you invited? How would the organizer define success?

3. Tell stories.When someone says: "Let me tell you a story...," you're

interested, right? When someone says: "Let me tell you about my company...," is

your reaction the same? It doesn't sound like a way you want to spend your valuable

time, does it? Stories are exciting. Most presentations are dry. Open with a story.

Tell stories to illustrate your point. It's fascinating to see an audience sit up and pay

attention when you start to tell a story on the stage.

4. Nobody cares about your products (except you). Yes, it's just like what I

say about Web marketing. What people do care about are themselves and ways to
http://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.htmlhttp://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.htmlhttp://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.htmlhttp://www.davidmeermanscott.com/engagements.htmhttp://www.davidmeermanscott.com/engagements.htmhttp://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.htmlhttp://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.html


13/33

solve their problems. A speech is not about you; it is about your audience. You must

resist the urge to hype your products and services. Even if youre asked to speak

about your company or your products, make it about your customers or the problem

you solve instead.

5. Prepare and practice.Run through your presentation as many times as

required so that you are completely comfortable with the material. You should know

the presentation so well that you could do it without PowerPoint and without notes.

6. Don't use PowerPoint as a TelePrompTer.Slides are great for showing

images, charts, and the like. Consider showing a short video. But definitely don't useslides to show bulleted lists of text. Yawn! Way too many people just read off their

slides. Don't! PowerPoint is not a speaker's crutch; it is a way to illustrate your

spoken point. By the way, some of the best speakers don't use slides at all.

7. Arrive early. There is nothing worse than a presenter fumbling with

technology on a stage. Everyone becomes uncomfortable and it is nearly impossible

to make up that bad first impression. You should plan to arrive at the venue with

plenty of time to spare and go to the room at least one hour prior to when you go on.

You may need to arrive much earlier if there are sessions before yours because you

will want to set up and test your equipment and stand on the stage to get a feel of

the room. Use the microphone to hear your voice. Get as comfortable as possible

with the venue before people arrive (or when they are on a break). The conference

organizer and the A/V people will love you for arriving early! And when you are

comfortable with logistics, you will deliver a better speech.

8. Bring an electronic copy of your presentation.I always carry my

presentation on a memory stick and wear it around my neck from the moment I step

out of my house until after I have presented. I wear it on the plane and in the hotel. I

wear it out to dinner. You never know what may happen to your computer (I spilled

water on my computer in Brussels once and fried it), so having that backup is

comforting.

9. Don't go long.When you build a speech and deliver it for the first time, it

almost always runs long. Don't go over time! It's okay to end short because you can


14/33

take a few questions, but running long makes the entire event schedule get out of

whack. Worse, they may pull you off the stage, which looks awful.

10. Be aware of body language.My friendNick Morgan,author of Trust Me:

Four Steps to Authenticity and Charismasays: "When words and body language are

in conflict, body language wins every time." If you are nervous, it shows. If you don't

believe what you're saying, it shows. If you aren't having fun, it shows. And your

audience will always react to your body language instead of your words.

Dated 3 March 2012

Top 7 Characteristics of Great Speakers

Have you admired speakers who seem to captivate the audience instantly, holdattention throughout, change the tone from humorous to intensely serious with aseamless transition, overcome distractions, generate frequent applause, and by the

end of the presentation have the listeners change their beliefs, even their actions?Have you wanted to become that speaker?

I have good news for you. You can progress to that stage. How? By recognizing thetop seven characteristics of great speakers.

1. AUTHORITATIVE

Top-caliber speakers strike you as authoritative. You consider them experts.Clearly, they have mastered their topic.Through long hours of

preparation,possibly even years, they have earned the right to speak withcredibility.

Mastery may or may not include academic degrees in that area. Primarily,mastery results from wide reading, research, interviewing experts, andlearning through professional associations, not because you have to butbecause you have an overwhelming urge to learn all you can on this theme.

Keep this in mind: Great speakers don't settle for reading articles in popularmagazines, watching TV specials, or coffee shop conversations. No amountof showmanship could compensate for lack of expertise.

2. ATTITUDE

Outstanding speakers avoid saying they are going to deliver a speech. Thatsounds too bland and routine, like delivering a package. Instead, theyvisualize having a dinner conversation with friends, when you'd share yourideas naturally, with no pretense.

In fact,the finest speech coaches suggest that a speech should become alively conversation with your audience. Roger Ailes, who served as a speechcoach for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, said: "The bestcommunicators I've ever known never changed their style of delivery from onesituation to another." Ailes observed that they were the same whether they
http://top7business.com/?Top-7-Characteristics-of-Great-Speakers&id=10761http://top7business.com/?Top-7-Characteristics-of-Great-Speakers&id=10761http://top7business.com/?Top-7-Characteristics-of-Great-Speakers&id=10761


18/33

are "delivering a speech, having an intimate conversation, or beinginterviewed on a TV talk show."

3. AUDIENCE

The audience becomes the centerpiece of attention. If the speaker focusestoo much on herself and the impression she is making, she will becomeunnerved by a simple mispronunciation, and will lose confidence and poise. Ifthe speaker focuses too much on the message, the event turns into a lifelessrecitation.

Note: Terrific speakers focus mostly on the audience.They find ways toinvolve audiences, creating interactive sessions, involving attendees in

discussion, and directing meaningful small group activities.

4. ANIMATION

Listeners don't want to wonder if the speaker has a pulse. So start byselecting a topic that mesmerizes you, demands your total commitment. Thenyou won't have to simulate enthusiasm.

Seek what actors call "the illusion of the first time." Although you have thoughtthese thoughts hundreds of times, your listeners want spontaneity, as thoughyou had just discovered these ideas and words.

Vary your voice in pitch, rate, and volume, just as you do in casual chit chat.

Gesture freely, naturally, without rehearsed motions.

5. ANECDOTES

Think back to your childhood days. When a parent or other relative sat byyour bed at night and said, "Once upon a time," a magical world opened foryou. As long as you can remember, stories grabbed you, and wouldn't let gountil you had heard all of the fables.

As adults, we still respond to intriguing stories. People learn from andremember the anecdotes, not your statistics.

Paint word pictures. Create a "you are there" sensation.

6. APPEARANCE

Yes, "casual dress" has permeated the work place. The trend started withCasual Fridays, with more days added eventually. Even so, speakers need tolook like professionals when they face audiences.

Your audience wants you to dress a level above their garb, just to indicate


19/33

respect for them and the situation. Check with your club or convention host todetermine the appropriate dress style. Fifteen years ago, a coat and tie weremandatory for male speakers. Now a mock turtle neck and classy blazer arelikely to match expectations.

As casual as society has become, good grooming still matters.

7. ATYPICAL

You don't have to fit a mold that seems right for most other presenters.

Other presenters may cling tightly to a podium, while you choose to wanderamong the audience, even getting comments from those in the back of theauditorium.

Other speakers may never quote poetry, yet you can do that if you select apoem that illustrates your point compellingly.

Other speakers may avoid magic, acrobatics, singing, props, orimpersonation. But if any of those work well for you, be atypical.

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "To be great is to be a nonconformist."

SPEECH

Love (Maria Salin)

Good Morning to our lecture, Mr. Carl Martin Albert and fellow friends. Today Iwould present about Love And Hate.

Love and hate are one of the strongest opposites in our dichotomous thinking.

Why then unhappy love often turns into deep hate and ruined relationships? A person in

love loves everyone. This overwhelmingly positive feeling can change the world

drastically. A person in hate becomes an enormous destructive force. It drives to an

abyss of violence. Have you ever experienced real light of love and real darkness of

hate?

Ladies and gentlemen,

Love may be more powerful than hate because, as it was in the song, love can

lead to hate, whereas hate never, even metaphorically, produces love. Love is more

powerful because it gives birth to new positive challenges. Love changes a person,

enriches the world, extends the horizons, enhances opportunities, brightens friendships,

and deepens emotions. A person in love has a specific aura, a peculiar kind of energy

that is given off, scattered in all directions, like the light of the myriads of stars, sliding

through ages, celebrating Juliet, Laura, Natasha, Ophelia, Desdemona, all those love

stories, powerful in their complexity of feelings and emotions, all about eternal love.

But love can go away. It simply disappears, vanishes. So powerful to disappear,

or love never goes away. Love's components are intimacy, passion, and commitment,

with all their variations. Consummate love that balances them all is rare. If Romeo andJuliet had lived longer, would they have loved each other with the same intimacy,

passion, and commitment? I have doubts. Love is powerful because it can transform. It

is, in fact, a transforming process of flexible relationships, in which intimacy remains

stable.

Who ever lived to hate? Love is powerful because it drives, navigates, directs,

and makes our existence meaningful. Hate invites loneliness, whereas love denies it.

Hate ruins personality, whereas love builds ego identity. Hate results in acts of violence,

whereas love leads to amazing acts of kindness. Hate destroys, whereas love creates.

Hate is war, whereas love is peace. Hate is bad, whereas love is good. Hate is revenge,

whereas love is construction. Hate is meaningless, whereas love is meaningful. It is

impossible "to love to hate". It is always "love" that gives birth to "love". That's why love

is more powerful than hate, if you follow me.

My fellow classmates,

Discover your powers. Discover love in yourselves. Be sure you're more powerful

to love than to hate. Keep love inside, and all will be always fine.

The Importance of Studying English (Rosnirah Binti Roslan)

A very good morning to Mr. Carl and my fellow friends. Today I want to talk

about The Importance of Studying English.

It is a big concerned for teenagers nowadays as they are unaware of

the importance of English language as they tend to ignore to learn the language.

Students attitude towards the language is also crucial to make sure that these

teenagers can face the future world better by learning English language as it is an

international language.

Although the government has repeatedly told us of the importance of

English, many students are still not bothered about studying it seriously. There is

also a campaign that still on to make all the Malaysian becomes a better English

learner, which is Enhance Proficiency in Bahasa Malaysia, Strengthen the English.

English is the most important and the most useful language in the world today. There

are many reasons why you should study the language properly.

First and foremost, English will definitely help you a lot when you want

to further studies. Almost all books at university are written in English in all subjects.

Plus, it is a compulsory for any candidate to pass English with credit before entering

any universities. So, if you are poor in English, you will blow you chance for better

education or worse, you are going to have a big problem studying at university.

The second reason why you have to study English well is that it will

help you to get a job. When you go for a job interview, the interviewer will surely talk

to you in English. The first impression you should give in order to success and have

the job is, to respond in English fluently. Your chances of getting the job are very

slim if you stutter while interviewing.

A good command in of English will also help you greatly in your job. If

the company you work is actively involved in international trade, you have to speak

to prospective customers in English. Miscommunication might occur if your English is

bad. And this will put your company at risk and you will likely be dismissed if this

happen.

Based from all the above elaboration, I hope that students will see the

importance and realise how importance the language is for their own future.

Although it is a second language in our country, it is now a main language all over

the world. Thank you.

Teks of Speech 6Keys to Reducing Stress in Your Life

VOO FUI SHUEN Dated : 2 March

2013

http://www.thechangeblog.com/reducing-stress-in-your-life/

A very good morning to our respected lecturer, follow classmates and friends.

Today in next few minutes I shall be delibrating upon a speech on 6 Keys to

Reducing Stress in Your Life

Deadlines. Speaking in public. Peak hour traffic. An unsatisfying job. Financial

problems. Relationship woes. These are just a few examples of things that cause

stress in our lives.

Before I go any further, it should be pointed out that stress can be a positive.

Often, as in the example of a student sitting an exam, it will increase our

performance. Also stressful events such as a wedding, a new baby, or a new house ,

these can change our lives for the better.

Despite these potential positives, stress can harm your health, emotional well-

being, and relationships with others. The signs and symptoms of stress will vary

depending on the person, but some examples are: headache, fatigue,muscle tension

and pain, depression, anger, worry, impatience, memory loss, poor sense of humour,

fidgeting, over-eating, smoking, drinking and drug abuse.

So what can we do to reduce stress in our lives? The following are 6 helpful

stress relief strategies:

Firstly , we should have realistic expectation .This is because many of us

set unrealistic expectations for ourselves and others. Setting high expectations may

in some instances increase performance, but if these expectations are set too high

they become unrealistic and will cause unnecessary stress.

Secondly , please get active. Exercise can reduce stress through its release

of endorphins, the bodys natural antidepressant hormone. Jogging, swimming and

other aerobic activities help us to dissipate excess energy that would otherwise be

bottled up inside.

Thirdly , be prepared. Stress is often caused by a particular situation we are

in. Many people, for example, have a fear of public speaking. An effective strategy is

to prepare well in advance. Ways to do this may include visiting the location ahead of

time to familiarise yourself with it and rehearsing your speech in front of a family

28/33

member or friend. In the longer term you may want to join a Toastmasters group to

overcome the fear of public speaking.

Furthermore , we have to take breaks each day. This is due to many of us

work in a fast-paced environment and its easy not to notice the signs that its time to

rest. We can pace ourselves throughout the day by monitoring our levels of stress

and energy, and taking breaks when we need them. Think of the way in which

children need their naps in order to behave well. Whenever possible I like to go

outside to the park on my lunchbreak to clear my head.

The next point is we need to get enough sleep.Many people do not get a

good nights sleep on a regular basis. Seven to eight hours each night is the amount

of sleep generally recommended, although it varies from person to person. You will

know when you are getting enough sleep when you start waking refreshed each

morning (often naturally before the alarm goes off) and notice more energy

throughout the day.

The last and the most vital point is balancing work and play. People who

never allow themselves leisure time will experience greater levels of stress. Dont

feel guilty about having some personal time we each need time for exercise,

relaxation, entertainment, and hobbies.

Well there you go. If you are experiencing any signs or symptoms of negative

stress I suggest giving the above tips a go. Hopefully you will start to feel as free and

easy as this person to the right . Thank You for your attention!

REFLECTION (MARIA SALIN)

First of all, I am really grateful to God for helping me from the beginning I work

on this so called short coursework until I finished this assignment. I also thanks to

Mr. Carl for her guidance during doing this assignment. I was paired with Rosnirah Bt

Roslan and Voo Fui Shuen for this assignment. After we received and discuss the

assignment, together we do the work schedule to divide our task.

The English Language for Communication Coursework is contains of features

of spoken language and practices it into a speech. After finished this assignment, I

realize this course is to enable me to use English in my various real life context.

Especially, in account the linguistic needs of the teachers. Thus, the teaching

sessions are in response to my needs.

The features of spoken language are pronunciation, stress, rhythm and

intonation. The public speaking have skills which is every speaker must have. So, to

get a nice speech in front of public, we should learn how to be a good speaker. After

finish this assignment, I realize that I should be a good speaker also.

This coursework also give me an opportunity to know my partner in group.

This is because we doing things together like finds the information and classification

the information in the fail altogether. From that we know that cooperation and

tolerance is important in teamwork.

As the conclusion, this coursework is a way for me to gain experience and

knowledge. As for me as a teacher, I should gain more knowledge so that I could

teach my student in various skills soon. Thus, this assignment very help me in my

way to be a good and awesome teacher.

REFLECTION (ROSNIRAH BINTI ROSLAN)

Thankful to God for giving me a chance to complete this coursework.

First is that it seems that I didnt understand what the question wants me to do. I

already finish the folio a bit early but when I read back the question, there is a lot of

missing things in my folio that was asked by the question. I have to input back and go

through all hard work to make it back although I have other short coursework to do.

As an early action, I went to the IPGM Keningaus library to find information

on the related topics of this coursework. Besides that, I also asked the lecturer and my

senior too to get more explanation on how to make this coursework better. Besides that,

I was lucky too because this coursework is done in a group. So, I have taken this

chance by making collaboration with my friends and also with the lecturer.

After finishing doing this coursework, I have enable to use English in various real

life context and takes into account the linguistic needs of the teachers and thus the

teaching sessions are develop in response to our needs. For example, public speaking

is the one activity of the speaking component which gives the trainer teacher the

exposure to be competent speakers of the language. Thus, this coursework also

enables me to practice the speaking skill which focuses on correct stress,

pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. In recorded speech, we also need to take into

consideration the aspect of the language such as pronunciation, texts and the rules and

regulations of speech.

Lastly, I hope that everything that I have learned during doing this

coursework, I can apply it in my daily life and will be helping me in my study in the

future.

During I doing this course work , I endured some problems such as

time management . This is because I have to complete my other assignments and

also this assignments at the same week .Thank God , I can finish both assignments

and sent on time due to I follow the time table . Even though I faced this problem but

I had finish all the task with my responsibility . After I started to make this assignment, I found that even though I had given a lot of course work, but if I have

determination in myself , I really can complete in a proper way with proper time

management.

To find the information for this coursework , I had go to the library

to borrow some reference books such as Focus On Pronunciation 3 , Effective

Speaking , The Art of Public Speaking , and Oxford Dictionary according to on thistopic needed in this coursework. Furthermore , I also use nowadays most

convenient way to get information which was surfing the internet to find the related

article like 6 Keys to Reduce Stress in Your Life , 5 Elements of Great Public

Speaking, 10 TIPS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING, and sample speech . Not only that , I

also had seeking for seniors sisters to discussed about the right method to change

the article I got for both 5 Elements of Great Public Speaking and 10 TIPS FOR

PUBLIC SPEAKING into graphic form as well as the better way to do the graphic

organizers.

I think this coursework have given me many advantages . For

example , I can improve my English language and learn many different thesaurus

based on the article that I had selected . I also had learnt on how to develop

dictionary skill , a student really need to always refer to dictionary to find the

meanings of vocabulary . On the other hand, I also learn how to elaborate the main

point in the article in the graphic organizers form and I find that my English language

have improved. I also know how to do short notes and pick the important point

beside the material that I found .

In addition , due to this coursework , my relationship between me

and my group members had become more closer because we always meet to

discuss on how to do our coursework together. We found the material from the

library and also internet and then we grouped up all the material we got from

different sources and chose which article or material is suitable and easier for us to

do our graphic organisers together . We had learned the moral value of co-operation

and be tolerance to each other in order to complete our coursework. Although we

had some small argument during choosing the material , but finally we can cope it

well and become more closer until we finished it .

Moreover , firstly I thought I cant present the speech well as I lack of

confidence. This speech was the second time I choose the text of speech , the first

speech I chosen is shorter .Then I finally can find a speech that suitable for me and

full field the length of time durance that is between 5 until 7 minutes. I convinced

myself as I can present my speech better if I do more practice in front of the mirror

as we know that practice make prefect . Although I know i cant speak very fluent

in English , but I will try my best to present my speech in title 6 Keys To Reduce

Stress In Your Life.

In the nutshell, this is another brand new experience for me to do

this English assignment in group . I realize that not only discipline our time

management really essential as old saying that time is gold , but also the

importance of the English language itself to me as the future teacher as well as it

was the most essential international language .
