5.0 out of 5 stars This book is THE BOMB, Dec 29 2011

This review is from: Speech Communication Made Simple (Paperback)

I use this book in my IEP classes for intermediate ESL students. The organization and structure is as complete as it gets. It starts by addressing common fears of public speaking, replacing those fears with more positive outlooks, and then helps the teacher to build students' confidence by introducing and explaining each step that is needed to deliver an organized, well-researched, interesting, and powerful speech, while leaving plenty of flexibility for students to choose topics that are special and interesting to them. (Each chapter also includes a pronunciation exercise, though I supplement these with exercises from English Pronunciation Made Simple [Dale & Poms, Longman, 2005] that more directly target the needs of the current class.) Highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent EFL Speech Communications Book, Oct 2 2009

By Hsinchu Steve "Hsinchu Steve" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Speech Communication Made Simple (Paperback)

This book has been well received in various universities here in Taiwan for teaching Speech Communications: straightforward and practical. It would be a good stepping stone for those who would later also benefit from becoming involved in a Toastmasters International chapter within their country.

This review is from: Speech Communication Made Simple (Paperback)

This textbook has made my life much simpler in my first year to teach speech to high school students. The text is organized and easy to understand so that it provides a great outline from which to work.
