Extempore speaking


Extempore speaking

Extempore is a stage performance which is carried out without preparation of any kind. The other commonly used names for extempore speeches are impromptu speaking, improvised speaking and extemporaneous speaking. Speaking without any preparation of any kind in front of a huge audience can give creeps to anyone. Impromptu speech is better developed by constant practice. Confidence is the key to help you develop this method of communication to a large audience.

In some instances, the panel provides the candidate with about a minute or so to organize his/her thoughts before speaking There are many times when we are expected to speak out of our knowledge and without prior preparations.

Here are some tips to help you given an extempore speech without any hurdles.

Focus on one point – talking in general is an easy task, but becomes tough when you have to talk about a particular topic. Any topic on which you need to talk about would have certain main areas. Understand that you will not be able to cover all the points in a speech, therefore concentrate on a single point and take it forward.

Limit our speech to our knowledge – many people tend to talk a little more without having any prior information. Talking for the sake of talking does not yield any results. It is always important that you talk as far as you know correctly about the topic and nothing more.

Do not memorize – memorizing information only leads to it being stiff and less conversational. Memorizing will also result you in forgetting a point and getting stuck in a particular place, which can be avoided by impromptu speaking.

Focus on opening and closing statements – the opening and closing statements decide on how the audience welcomes your speech. Making an impact which can keep them glued to your speech with your opening statement and remembering your speech by the closing statement is important.

 

Posters

Posters abound in education libraries as decorative objects yet few libraries realize the educational potential of the poster. Posters are colorful, attractive learning media which can enhance the learning environment. This paper describes the value of posters in the educational setting, offers suggestions on selecting posters for learning, and includes examples of various types of learning posters.

Types of Learning Posters

Learning posters can be grouped into four categories. Those that: 

·         Illustrate a concept or thing

·  Demonstrate a process

·  Differentiate between similar things

· Capture interest and stimulate emotion.

Posters that illustrate a concept or thing have several uses. Their primary use is to simply provide an illustration of something. For example, a poster showing a volcano could be used in an earth science unit.

A secondary use of this type of poster is in foreign language instruction. A language unit aimed at teaching the names of parts of the body can be made more effective by using illustrations in conjunction with terminology.
