Tips for Public Speaking - Selected from Carnegie's Original 1920 YMCA Course Books (Paperback, Updated ed.): Dale Carnegie Tips for Public Speaking - Selected from Carnegie's Original 1920 YMCA Course Books (Paperback, Updated ed.)
Dale Carnegie; Edited by Marie Carnegie Hill
R490 Discovery Miles 4 900 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Dale Carnegie's TIPS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING is an updated edition of Carnegie's seminal work, PUBLIC SPEAKING, the four course books in public speaking published by the YMCA in 1920. These course books are unduplicated by later works.

Here is the authentic Dale Carnegie, both folksy and erudite, teaching us not only Courage and Self-Confidence, but the secrets of Preparing the Speech; Opening and Closing an Address; giving the Convincing Speech, the Popular Speech, the Humorous Speech, the Decisive Speech, and much more.

Carnegie shows that public speaking is the ideal vehicle for people in all walks of life to gain the self-confidence that brings success in all their endeavors.

While Carnegie cites public figures well-known in the 1920s, the principles are equally vital and valid today.

Argumentation in Higher Education - Improving Practice Through Theory and Research (Paperback): Richard Andrews Argumentation in Higher Education - Improving Practice Through Theory and Research (Paperback)
Richard Andrews
R1,376 Discovery Miles 13 760 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Argumentation in Higher Education offers professors, lecturers and researchers informative guidance for teaching effective argumentation skills to their undergraduate and graduate students. This professional guide aims to make the complex topic of argumentation open and transparent. Grounded in empirical research and theory, but with student voices heard strongly throughout, this book fills the gap of argumentation instruction for the undergraduate and graduate level.

Written to enlighten even the most experienced professor, this text contributes to a better understanding of the demands of speaking, writing, and visual argumentation in higher education, and will undoubtedly inform and enhance course design. The book argues for a more explicit treatment of argument (the product) and argumentation (the process) in higher education, so that the ground rules of the academic discipline in question are made clear. Each chapter concludes with practical exercises for staff development use.

Topics discussed include:

  • The importance of argument
  • The current state of argumentation in higher education
  • Generic skills in argumentation
  • The balance between generic and discipline specific skills
  • Information communication technologies and visual argumentation

How can we best teach argumentation so that students feel fully empowered in their academic composition? Professors (new and experienced), lecturers, researchers, professional developers and writing coaches worldwide grappling with this question will find this accessible text to be an extremely valuable resource.

Richard Andrews is Professor in English at the Institute of Education, University of London.

Welche Funktionen haben "kleine Woerter" wie Diskursmarker und Lautelemente in der Interaktion? Wo und zu welchem Zweck verwenden sie junge Frauen in Gesprachen untereinander? Die empirische Studie untersucht an einem Korpus von Alltagsgesprachen Deutschschweizer Gymnasiastinnen diese genuin mundlichen Phanomene. Als minim referentielle Objekte befinden sie sich an gesprachsorganisatorisch unklaren Stellen und bewegen sich in Bezug auf ihren Status zwischen Laut, Floskel und grammatikalisiertem Element. Die detaillierte mikroanalytische Untersuchung zeigt, wie damit in Kombination mit interaktionalen und diskursiven Verfahren verstarkt und gezielt Gemeinsamkeit in der Interaktion geschaffen werden kann. Theoretisch in der Soziolinguistik, methodisch in der Konversationsanalyse und der Interaktionalen Linguistik angesiedelt, findet die Arbeit Anschluss an interaktionale Forschungsrichtungen sowie an die internationale Jugendsprachforschung und zeigt neue Wege fur dialektologische Fragestellungen auf.

Querying Consent examines the ways in which the concept of consent is used to map and regulate sexual desire, gender relationships, global positions, technological interfaces, relationships of production and consumption, and literary and artistic interactions. From philosophy to literature, psychoanalysis to the art world, the contributors to Querying Consent address the most uncomfortable questions about consent today. Grounded in theoretical explorations of the entanglement of consent and subjectivity across a range of textual, visual, multi- and digital media, Querying Consent considers the relationships between consent and agency before moving on to trace the concept's outcomes through a range of investigations of the mutual implication of personhood and self-ownership.

Eloquence Is Power - Oratory and Performance in Early America (Paperback, New edition): Sandra M. Gustafson Eloquence Is Power - Oratory and Performance in Early America (Paperback, New edition)
Sandra M. Gustafson
R1,218 Discovery Miles 12 180 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Oratory emerged as the first major form of verbal art in early America because, as John Quincy Adams observed in 1805, ""eloquence was POWER."" In this book, Sandra Gustafson examines the multiple traditions of sacred, diplomatic, and political speech that flourished in British America and the early republic from colonization through 1800. She demonstrates that, in the American crucible of cultures, contact and conflict among Europeans, native Americans, and Africans gave particular significance and complexity to the uses of the spoken word. Gustafson develops what she calls the performance semiotic of speech and text as a tool for comprehending the rich traditions of early American oratory. Embodied in the delivery of speeches, she argues, were complex projections of power and authenticity that were rooted in or challenged text-based claims of authority. Examining oratorical performances as varied as treaty negotiations between native and British Americans, the eloquence of evangelical women during the Great Awakening, and the founding fathers' debates over the Constitution, Gustafson explores how orators employed the shifting symbolism of speech and text to imbue their voices with power. |Sandra Gustafson examines the verbal art of speech in sacred, political and diplomatic forms as it was created and practiced in colonial America and the early republic. She demonstrates that, in the distinctly American interaction of cultures, contact and conflict among Europeans, native Americans, and Africans gave particular significance and complexity to the uses of the spoken word.

Diese Arbeit verfolgt in der theoretischen Auseinandersetzung um ein Begriffsverstandnis und in der empirischen Forschung einen subjektiven Ansatz. Dadurch verandert sich der wissenschaftliche Diskurs und es entsteht ein Text, der die Leserschaft starker als gewohnt an Prozessen teilhaben lasst und sie dabei zur eigenen Positionierung anregen will. Im methodologischen Ansatz werden Bedeutung und Funktion von Ganzheitlichkeit (und Sprache) fur Durchfuhrung und Auswertung von Interviews untersucht und die Subjektivitat der Forscherin reflektiert. Die Interviewsituation wird durch eine Haltung der 'intellektuellen Liebe' (Bourdieu) charakterisiert. Die Interviews werden mittels des von der Autorin entwickelten Verfahrens der beschreibenden Mosaiksteine und des wertenden Mosaiks interpretiert. Durch die acht Einzelauswertungen der befragten Lehrerinnen und Lehrer entsteht ein individualisiertes, facettenreiches Spektrum zum Thema Ganzheitlichkeit und Sprache.

'There is nothing mysterious about voice work. We all breathe and use our voices daily and mostly do so without thinking about it.

Developing Your Voice allows you, from any starting point, to systematically work with your own voice. The exercises have their basis in the foundation for all voice use - body awareness and breathing. This training will help you access a free, smooth and sustainable voice with the flexibility to express yourself, be it in your personal or professional life. Developing Your Voice concludes with a chapter showing how the vocal technique meets practical uses in text and acting. Harald Emgard started as an actor and later took an interest in teaching. He is a registered speech-language pathologist with a wealth of experience of teaching actors, musical actors and opera singers. Harald has held the position of Senior Lecturer in voice and speech at some of the most prestigious theatre academies in Sweden.

Ella Baker (1903-1986) was an influential African American civil rights and human rights activist. For five decades, she worked behind the scenes with people in vulnerable communities to catalyze social justice leadership. Her steadfast belief in the power of ordinary people to create change continues to inspire social justice activists around the world. This book describes a case study that translates Ella Baker's community engagement philosophy into a catalytic leadership praxis, which others can adapt for their work. Catalytic leadership is a concrete set of communication practices for social justice leadership produced in equitable partnership with, instead of on, communities. The case centers the voices of African American teenage girls who were living in a segregated neighborhood of an affluent college town and became part of a small collective of college students, parents, university faculty, and community activists learning leadership in the spirit of Ella Baker.
