學時,周學時2,共上16周。教材:
社會熱點問題
參考教材:名人演講---響徹世界的聲音 任課教師:辛柯教授

序言
語言表達能力是一個人總體能力中非常重要的一部分,是一個人邏輯思維能力、理性分析能力、組織能力、決策能力、感召能力、個人魅力的總體表現。而語言表達中的幽默、哲理又是一個人智慧的體現。
在公眾面前發表演講是衡量一個人語言運用能力的重要標志。能用英語和他人就一個主題進行辯論是外語學習較高層次的要求;寫演講稿也是寫作的高層次要求,因為演講稿是一種特殊的文體,從用詞、修辭、句子結構到篇章結構都有嚴格的要求。從不同的方位和各個層次把問題分析得有條有理,給聽眾提供信服的證據和結論也是演講家必備的能之一。高等教育不僅要培養工程師、教師、科學家、醫生、各種管理人員,同時培養企業領導人、國家領導人以及雄辯的演講家和辯論家也是高等教育的目標之一.要培養良好的語言表達能力需要大量的語言操練和科學思維的訓練, 同時要加強背誦講稿的能力。里根總統在當演員是就練成了非凡的記憶力。演講時配合得當的手勢、恰如其分的面部表情,以及清晰的發音,準確的句子和詞的重音都是需要長期訓練的。
Basic requirements for Public Speech and Debate Speeches are not magic.A speech is a combination of information and opinion
written on paper and spoken.If you can have a thoughtful conversation, you can write and give a thoughtful speech.This is just one more reason why spoken English is so important.The following are the basic requirements for a public speech.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.The speech should focus on one topic so that the audience can easily get the gist.The speech that covers too many thoughts, opinions or ideas could only confuse the audience.No speech should last more than 20 minutes.The more important the message, the less time required to say it.The more you speak, the more boring the audient find it is.In other words, the shorter your speech is, the more easily it can be remembered!The Gettysburg Address given by President Lincoln lasted only about 3 minutes.Complicated sentence patterns should be avoided.And parallel structure may very often produce amazing effect.Choose your words carefully.It’s important to remember that your words must be hearable and comprehensible the first time they are spoken.A clear pronunciation is necessary since a lot of words sound alike and the speaker has to give a distinct pronunciation of every word, but sometimes he has to speak very slowly, sometimes very quickly with exciting rhythm.With the help of gesture, the speaker sometimes has to invite the audience for participation, resulting in an exciting atmosphere.Humor is vital.Every speech needs it, and you need it, too, probably at the top.Ronald Reagan always wanted a joke at the beginning of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter.It helped him relax.It also helped the audience relax.While debating with others, the most important is to collect convincing facts or data to support your point of view and come to a convincing conclusion.Debating is an art that needs techniques as well as intensive training.The rational analysis of the question concerned and a quick response are based on the participant’s wide range of knowledge.Don’t forget to say thanks.Say your thanks in the manner or with the tone.Offer a compliment or a warm word whenever you can.英語演講及辯論課程計劃
