Course Information and Syllabus in English 3

Descriptive Title: Speech and Oral CommunicationCredit Units: 3 unitsPre-Requisite: English 2

Course Description: Speech and oral communication is a three-unit course that will put more emphasis on the practical application of the knowledge and

skills learned in English 2 such as the Standard English Pronunciation, Phraseology, Stress, Timing, Blending, Intonation, and Grammar. Grammar always forms the vital part of the course because students need to write speeches and other types of composition before they perform. Furthermore, this subject will provide students the opportunity to strengthen further their oral/speech skills as this course will bring them into the realm of actual performances like reading, speech deliveries, dramatics, and other oral activities that will hone students’ oral communication skills.

Course Objectives: At the end of the course, the students are expected to:

1. further hone their speaking skills through actual exposure to oral deliveries/performances;2. enhance further the development of good speech habits;3. develop self-confidence in speaking before an audience;4. develop proficiency on the production of the vowel and consonant sounds;5. convey ideas effectively, proficiently, spontaneously, impressively, and expressively verbally and non-verbally.
