Speaking: BEFORE SPEAKING: Activities for Practice & Preparation in Oral Language Skills = 166-Page Student Text
In content and difficulty, BEFORE SPEAKING: Activities for Practice & Preparation in Oral Language Skills follows Beginners' BEFORE SPEAKING with PRONUNCIATION PRINCIPLES. It precedes the SPEAKING: Oral-Language Skills for Real-Life Communication program. It was created because Intermediate-Level second-language learners at a community college were having a hard time giving speeches of the kind expected in a credit Speech 101 course, even one intended for non-native speakers of English. They needed preparation and help with not only speech-making principles and techniques but also with the language.
BEFORE SPEAKING provides input and practice participants are likely to want or need before attempting public speaking on everyday topics. To that end, its three main parts—Talk About Things, Talk About Places, Talk About People—include sections entitled “Grammar Notes,” “Vocabulary Notes,” and “Language Notes.” The core of the 166-page text, however, is the interactive sections. Based on photos, realia, and other materials, these activities have many learning objectives: Ask & Give Names of Things; Classify Item Purposes; Describe Objects; Tell Similarities & Differences; Explain Choices; Describe Interiors, Structures, & Scenery; Ask & Follow Directions; Plan Map Routes; Give & Get Info from Notes or Charts; Understand & Use Persuasive Language; Describe Faces, Expressions, & Body Language; Tell About People’s Lives; Tell Past Events & Present Facts; Ask & Answer Questions About the Past, Present, & Future; Make Effective Social Talk, and more.
BEFORE SPEAKING was created for: [1] (non-)native professors and college students required to fulfill academic oral-skills curriculum requirements, [2] learners eager to speak effectively early in the language-acquisition process, [3] good listeners and older people at advanced cognitive levels seeking to (re-)gain facility with oral language, and [4] seasoned instructors helping students take responsibility for their own language improvement. Especially when accompanied by its 172-page Answer Key, it is a comprehensive guide and resource for advancement toward fluency in oral language skills. It can be used with or without its companion Pronunciation Manual, which is called PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE Before Speaking.

(The 166-page BEFORE SPEAKING: Activities for Practice & Preparation in Oral Language Skills Answer Key [ISBN 978-1-891077-54-8] can be delivered as a shrink-wrapped package or ordered online and downloaded. It not only functions as a Teacher's/Learner's Guide but also makes the Text usable for independent study. Non-native students wanting direct instruction in accent improvement might also be interested in PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE Before Speaking [ISBN 978-1-891077-51-7], a companion WorkText based on the topics, vocabulary, sentence structures, and content of BEFORE SPEAKING . There are also three-80-Minute PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE CDs [ISBN 978-1-891077-52-4]).
(If the content and techniques of BEFORE SPEAKING--with or without the supplementary pronunciation manual PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE Before Speaking--proves too "advanced" for your particular situation, be sure to take a look at the shortened, adapted materials of Beginners' BEFORE SPEAKING with PRONUNCIATION PRINCIPLES [ISBNs 978-1-934637-25-8, -26-5, 27-2, -28-9, and -29.6]. On the other hand, if BEFORE SPEAKING and/or its pronunciation materials provide too much pedagogical info and activity for your needs and available time, "jump" right on up to the Advanced-Level SPEAKING: Oral Language Skills for Real-Life Communication.]
