INTRODUCTION
The English language for Communication Course is a course to enable
students to use English in Various real life context and takes into account the
linguistic needs of the teachers and thus the teaching sessions are developed in
response to their needs.
One activity of the speaking component which gives the students the
exposure to be focuses on correct stress, pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. In
public speaking, we need to take into consideration the aspect of the language such
as pronunciation, texts and the rules and regulations of public speaking.
In order to complete this task, we must prepare a folio that contains features
of spoken language. This is a grouping task. So, we must find about relevant
materials on pronunciation, stress, rhythm and intonation. we must present the
information in the form of graphic organizers. But, we must highlight the important
points before present it in the form graphic organizers.
Besides, we must prepare a speech of not less than five minutes on given
subject matter in written form. After that, we should present the speech in the class.
Lastly, we should prepare an overall reflection on our task experience.

Top ten tips for incredibly successfulpublic speaking
I've been to something likeone hundred conferences and corporate events in
the past several years as I travel the world delivering keynotes and running
seminars. I've seen a few great speeches. Sadly, most speeches I see are not very
good. Some are downright terrible.
I've been collecting some observations on what makes a good presentationand also drawing from my own experience.
Most of us have an opportunity to speak, perhaps at your industry event, or
your company's sales conference, or to a local club.
Make the most of your opportunity.
1. Take it seriously. If 200 people are in a room and you speak for a half
hour, you are taking up 100 hours of peoples time. I see many speakers "wing it"and it makes me feel sorry for the audience. Don't look bad.
2. Know the conference organizer's goals.When I speak, I work with
organizers to deliver three goals in equal proportion: Education, entertainment, and
motivation. Since I am a paid speaker, I must deliver on all three so the conference
organizer is happy they invited me. You need to know the goals for being on the
podium too. Why were you invited? How would the organizer define success?
3. Tell stories.When someone says: "Let me tell you a story...," you're
interested, right? When someone says: "Let me tell you about my company...," is
your reaction the same? It doesn't sound like a way you want to spend your valuable
time, does it? Stories are exciting. Most presentations are dry. Open with a story.
Tell stories to illustrate your point. It's fascinating to see an audience sit up and pay
attention when you start to tell a story on the stage.
4. Nobody cares about your products (except you). Yes, it's just like what I
say about Web marketing. What people do care about are themselves and ways to
http://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.htmlhttp://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.htmlhttp://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.htmlhttp://www.davidmeermanscott.com/engagements.htmhttp://www.davidmeermanscott.com/engagements.htmhttp://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.htmlhttp://www.webinknow.com/2009/03/top-ten-tips-for-incredibly-successful-public-speaking.html -
8/12/2019 English (Maria, Rosnirah&Voo)
13/33
solve their problems. A speech is not about you; it is about your audience. You must
resist the urge to hype your products and services. Even if youre asked to speak
about your company or your products, make it about your customers or the problem
you solve instead.
5. Prepare and practice.Run through your presentation as many times as
required so that you are completely comfortable with the material. You should know
the presentation so well that you could do it without PowerPoint and without notes.
6. Don't use PowerPoint as a TelePrompTer.Slides are great for showing
images, charts, and the like. Consider showing a short video. But definitely don't useslides to show bulleted lists of text. Yawn! Way too many people just read off their
slides. Don't! PowerPoint is not a speaker's crutch; it is a way to illustrate your
spoken point. By the way, some of the best speakers don't use slides at all.
7. Arrive early. There is nothing worse than a presenter fumbling with
technology on a stage. Everyone becomes uncomfortable and it is nearly impossible
to make up that bad first impression. You should plan to arrive at the venue with
plenty of time to spare and go to the room at least one hour prior to when you go on.
You may need to arrive much earlier if there are sessions before yours because you
will want to set up and test your equipment and stand on the stage to get a feel of
the room. Use the microphone to hear your voice. Get as comfortable as possible
with the venue before people arrive (or when they are on a break). The conference
organizer and the A/V people will love you for arriving early! And when you are
comfortable with logistics, you will deliver a better speech.
8. Bring an electronic copy of your presentation.I always carry my
presentation on a memory stick and wear it around my neck from the moment I step
out of my house until after I have presented. I wear it on the plane and in the hotel. I
wear it out to dinner. You never know what may happen to your computer (I spilled
water on my computer in Brussels once and fried it), so having that backup is
comforting.
9. Don't go long.When you build a speech and deliver it for the first time, it
almost always runs long. Don't go over time! It's okay to end short because you can
-
8/12/2019 English (Maria, Rosnirah&Voo)
14/33
take a few questions, but running long makes the entire event schedule get out of
whack. Worse, they may pull you off the stage, which looks awful.
10. Be aware of body language.My friendNick Morgan,author of Trust Me:
Four Steps to Authenticity and Charismasays: "When words and body language are
in conflict, body language wins every time." If you are nervous, it shows. If you don't
believe what you're saying, it shows. If you aren't having fun, it shows. And your
audience will always react to your body language instead of your words.

Dated 3 March 2012
Top 7 Characteristics of Great Speakers
Have you admired speakers who seem to captivate the audience instantly, holdattention throughout, change the tone from humorous to intensely serious with aseamless transition, overcome distractions, generate frequent applause, and by the
end of the presentation have the listeners change their beliefs, even their actions?Have you wanted to become that speaker?
I have good news for you. You can progress to that stage. How? By recognizing thetop seven characteristics of great speakers.
1. AUTHORITATIVE
Top-caliber speakers strike you as authoritative. You consider them experts.Clearly, they have mastered their topic.Through long hours of
preparation,possibly even years, they have earned the right to speak withcredibility.
Mastery may or may not include academic degrees in that area. Primarily,mastery results from wide reading, research, interviewing experts, andlearning through professional associations, not because you have to butbecause you have an overwhelming urge to learn all you can on this theme.
Keep this in mind: Great speakers don't settle for reading articles in popularmagazines, watching TV specials, or coffee shop conversations. No amountof showmanship could compensate for lack of expertise.
2. ATTITUDE
Outstanding speakers avoid saying they are going to deliver a speech. Thatsounds too bland and routine, like delivering a package. Instead, theyvisualize having a dinner conversation with friends, when you'd share yourideas naturally, with no pretense.
In fact,the finest speech coaches suggest that a speech should become alively conversation with your audience. Roger Ailes, who served as a speechcoach for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, said: "The bestcommunicators I've ever known never changed their style of delivery from onesituation to another." Ailes observed that they were the same whether they

8/12/2019 English (Maria, Rosnirah&Voo)
18/33
are "delivering a speech, having an intimate conversation, or beinginterviewed on a TV talk show."
3. AUDIENCE
The audience becomes the centerpiece of attention. If the speaker focusestoo much on herself and the impression she is making, she will becomeunnerved by a simple mispronunciation, and will lose confidence and poise. Ifthe speaker focuses too much on the message, the event turns into a lifelessrecitation.
Note: Terrific speakers focus mostly on the audience.They find ways toinvolve audiences, creating interactive sessions, involving attendees in
discussion, and directing meaningful small group activities.
4. ANIMATION
Listeners don't want to wonder if the speaker has a pulse. So start byselecting a topic that mesmerizes you, demands your total commitment. Thenyou won't have to simulate enthusiasm.
Seek what actors call "the illusion of the first time." Although you have thoughtthese thoughts hundreds of times, your listeners want spontaneity, as thoughyou had just discovered these ideas and words.
Vary your voice in pitch, rate, and volume, just as you do in casual chit chat.
Gesture freely, naturally, without rehearsed motions.
5. ANECDOTES
Think back to your childhood days. When a parent or other relative sat byyour bed at night and said, "Once upon a time," a magical world opened foryou. As long as you can remember, stories grabbed you, and wouldn't let gountil you had heard all of the fables.
As adults, we still respond to intriguing stories. People learn from andremember the anecdotes, not your statistics.
Paint word pictures. Create a "you are there" sensation.
6. APPEARANCE
Yes, "casual dress" has permeated the work place. The trend started withCasual Fridays, with more days added eventually. Even so, speakers need tolook like professionals when they face audiences.
Your audience wants you to dress a level above their garb, just to indicate
-
8/12/2019 English (Maria, Rosnirah&Voo)
19/33
respect for them and the situation. Check with your club or convention host todetermine the appropriate dress style. Fifteen years ago, a coat and tie weremandatory for male speakers. Now a mock turtle neck and classy blazer arelikely to match expectations.
As casual as society has become, good grooming still matters.
7. ATYPICAL
You don't have to fit a mold that seems right for most other presenters.
Other presenters may cling tightly to a podium, while you choose to wanderamong the audience, even getting comments from those in the back of theauditorium.
Other speakers may never quote poetry, yet you can do that if you select apoem that illustrates your point compellingly.
Other speakers may avoid magic, acrobatics, singing, props, orimpersonation. But if any of those work well for you, be atypical.
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "To be great is to be a nonconformist."

SPEECH
Love (Maria Salin)
Good Morning to our lecture, Mr. Carl Martin Albert and fellow friends. Today Iwould present about Love And Hate.
Love and hate are one of the strongest opposites in our dichotomous thinking.
Why then unhappy love often turns into deep hate and ruined relationships? A person in
love loves everyone. This overwhelmingly positive feeling can change the world
drastically. A person in hate becomes an enormous destructive force. It drives to an
abyss of violence. Have you ever experienced real light of love and real darkness of
hate?
Ladies and gentlemen,
Love may be more powerful than hate because, as it was in the song, love can
lead to hate, whereas hate never, even metaphorically, produces love. Love is more
powerful because it gives birth to new positive challenges. Love changes a person,
enriches the world, extends the horizons, enhances opportunities, brightens friendships,
and deepens emotions. A person in love has a specific aura, a peculiar kind of energy
that is given off, scattered in all directions, like the light of the myriads of stars, sliding
through ages, celebrating Juliet, Laura, Natasha, Ophelia, Desdemona, all those love
stories, powerful in their complexity of feelings and emotions, all about eternal love.
But love can go away. It simply disappears, vanishes. So powerful to disappear,
or love never goes away. Love's components are intimacy, passion, and commitment,
with all their variations. Consummate love that balances them all is rare. If Romeo andJuliet had lived longer, would they have loved each other with the same intimacy,
passion, and commitment? I have doubts. Love is powerful because it can transform. It
is, in fact, a transforming process of flexible relationships, in which intimacy remains
stable.
Who ever lived to hate? Love is powerful because it drives, navigates, directs,
and makes our existence meaningful. Hate invites loneliness, whereas love denies it.
Hate ruins personality, whereas love builds ego identity. Hate results in acts of violence,
whereas love leads to amazing acts of kindness. Hate destroys, whereas love creates.
Hate is war, whereas love is peace. Hate is bad, whereas love is good. Hate is revenge,
whereas love is construction. Hate is meaningless, whereas love is meaningful. It is
impossible "to love to hate". It is always "love" that gives birth to "love". That's why love
is more powerful than hate, if you follow me.
My fellow classmates,
Discover your powers. Discover love in yourselves. Be sure you're more powerful
to love than to hate. Keep love inside, and all will be always fine.

The Importance of Studying English (Rosnirah Binti Roslan)
A very good morning to Mr. Carl and my fellow friends. Today I want to talk
about The Importance of Studying English.
It is a big concerned for teenagers nowadays as they are unaware of
the importance of English language as they tend to ignore to learn the language.
Students attitude towards the language is also crucial to make sure that these
teenagers can face the future world better by learning English language as it is an
international language.
Although the government has repeatedly told us of the importance of
English, many students are still not bothered about studying it seriously. There is
also a campaign that still on to make all the Malaysian becomes a better English
learner, which is Enhance Proficiency in Bahasa Malaysia, Strengthen the English.
English is the most important and the most useful language in the world today. There
are many reasons why you should study the language properly.
First and foremost, English will definitely help you a lot when you want
to further studies. Almost all books at university are written in English in all subjects.
Plus, it is a compulsory for any candidate to pass English with credit before entering
any universities. So, if you are poor in English, you will blow you chance for better
education or worse, you are going to have a big problem studying at university.
The second reason why you have to study English well is that it will
help you to get a job. When you go for a job interview, the interviewer will surely talk
to you in English. The first impression you should give in order to success and have
the job is, to respond in English fluently. Your chances of getting the job are very
slim if you stutter while interviewing.
A good command in of English will also help you greatly in your job. If
the company you work is actively involved in international trade, you have to speak
to prospective customers in English. Miscommunication might occur if your English is
bad. And this will put your company at risk and you will likely be dismissed if this
happen.
Based from all the above elaboration, I hope that students will see the
importance and realise how importance the language is for their own future.
Although it is a second language in our country, it is now a main language all over
the world. Thank you.

Teks of Speech 6Keys to Reducing Stress in Your Life
VOO FUI SHUEN Dated : 2 March
2013
http://www.thechangeblog.com/reducing-stress-in-your-life/
A very good morning to our respected lecturer, follow classmates and friends.
Today in next few minutes I shall be delibrating upon a speech on 6 Keys to
Reducing Stress in Your Life
Deadlines. Speaking in public. Peak hour traffic. An unsatisfying job. Financial
problems. Relationship woes. These are just a few examples of things that cause
stress in our lives.
Before I go any further, it should be pointed out that stress can be a positive.
Often, as in the example of a student sitting an exam, it will increase our
performance. Also stressful events such as a wedding, a new baby, or a new house ,
these can change our lives for the better.
Despite these potential positives, stress can harm your health, emotional well-
being, and relationships with others. The signs and symptoms of stress will vary
depending on the person, but some examples are: headache, fatigue,muscle tension
and pain, depression, anger, worry, impatience, memory loss, poor sense of humour,
fidgeting, over-eating, smoking, drinking and drug abuse.
So what can we do to reduce stress in our lives? The following are 6 helpful
stress relief strategies:
Firstly , we should have realistic expectation .This is because many of us
set unrealistic expectations for ourselves and others. Setting high expectations may
in some instances increase performance, but if these expectations are set too high
they become unrealistic and will cause unnecessary stress.
Secondly , please get active. Exercise can reduce stress through its release
of endorphins, the bodys natural antidepressant hormone. Jogging, swimming and
other aerobic activities help us to dissipate excess energy that would otherwise be
bottled up inside.
Thirdly , be prepared. Stress is often caused by a particular situation we are
in. Many people, for example, have a fear of public speaking. An effective strategy is
to prepare well in advance. Ways to do this may include visiting the location ahead of
time to familiarise yourself with it and rehearsing your speech in front of a family

member or friend. In the longer term you may want to join a Toastmasters group to
overcome the fear of public speaking.
Furthermore , we have to take breaks each day. This is due to many of us
work in a fast-paced environment and its easy not to notice the signs that its time to
rest. We can pace ourselves throughout the day by monitoring our levels of stress
and energy, and taking breaks when we need them. Think of the way in which
children need their naps in order to behave well. Whenever possible I like to go
outside to the park on my lunchbreak to clear my head.
The next point is we need to get enough sleep.Many people do not get a
good nights sleep on a regular basis. Seven to eight hours each night is the amount
of sleep generally recommended, although it varies from person to person. You will
know when you are getting enough sleep when you start waking refreshed each
morning (often naturally before the alarm goes off) and notice more energy
throughout the day.
The last and the most vital point is balancing work and play. People who
never allow themselves leisure time will experience greater levels of stress. Dont
feel guilty about having some personal time we each need time for exercise,
relaxation, entertainment, and hobbies.
Well there you go. If you are experiencing any signs or symptoms of negative
stress I suggest giving the above tips a go. Hopefully you will start to feel as free and
easy as this person to the right . Thank You for your attention!

REFLECTION (MARIA SALIN)
First of all, I am really grateful to God for helping me from the beginning I work
on this so called short coursework until I finished this assignment. I also thanks to
Mr. Carl for her guidance during doing this assignment. I was paired with Rosnirah Bt
Roslan and Voo Fui Shuen for this assignment. After we received and discuss the
assignment, together we do the work schedule to divide our task.
The English Language for Communication Coursework is contains of features
of spoken language and practices it into a speech. After finished this assignment, I
realize this course is to enable me to use English in my various real life context.
Especially, in account the linguistic needs of the teachers. Thus, the teaching
sessions are in response to my needs.
The features of spoken language are pronunciation, stress, rhythm and
intonation. The public speaking have skills which is every speaker must have. So, to

REFLECTION (ROSNIRAH BINTI ROSLAN)
Thankful to God for giving me a chance to complete this coursework.
First is that it seems that I didnt understand what the question wants me to do. I
already finish the folio a bit early but when I read back the question, there is a lot of
missing things in my folio that was asked by the question. I have to input back and go
through all hard work to make it back although I have other short coursework to do.
As an early action, I went to the IPGM Keningaus library to find information
on the related topics of this coursework. Besides that, I also asked the lecturer and my
senior too to get more explanation on how to make this coursework better. Besides that,
I was lucky too because this coursework is done in a group. So, I have taken this
chance by making collaboration with my friends and also with the lecturer.
After finishing doing this coursework, I have enable to use English in various real
life context and takes into account the linguistic needs of the teachers and thus the
teaching sessions are develop in response to our needs. For example, public speaking
is the one activity of the speaking component which gives the trainer teacher the
exposure to be competent speakers of the language. Thus, this coursework also
enables me to practice the speaking skill which focuses on correct stress,
pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. In recorded speech, we also need to take into
consideration the aspect of the language such as pronunciation, texts and the rules and
regulations of speech.
Lastly, I hope that everything that I have learned during doing this
coursework, I can apply it in my daily life and will be helping me in my study in the
future.

Reflection
VOO FUI SHUEN
I am very glad and happy because I can complete this English
assignment on time on 4 March 2013 . When first I was given this coursework, I was
worry because my mind blank and I was unsure how to present a speech . I felt
frustrated because I was making little progress. Besides that , there are still have the
four another assignments that I have to finish . Due to I have determination and
patient , I accept this task as a challenge as a future teacher . My worry toward this
course work decreased when my lecturer Mr Cal as well as my group members ,
Rosnirah and Maria gave me a a lot of advices and courage to me , thus I can finish
this course work in the right path.
During I doing this course work , I endured some problems such as
time management . This is because I have to complete my other assignments and
also this assignments at the same week .Thank God , I can finish both assignments
and sent on time due to I follow the time table . Even though I faced this problem but
I had finish all the task with my responsibility . After I started to make this assignment, I found that even though I had given a lot of course work, but if I have
determination in myself , I really can complete in a proper way with proper time
management.
To find the information for this coursework , I had go to the library
to borrow some reference books such as Focus On Pronunciation 3 , Effective
Speaking , The Art of Public Speaking , and Oxford Dictionary according to on thistopic needed in this coursework. Furthermore , I also use nowadays most
convenient way to get information which was surfing the internet to find the related
article like 6 Keys to Reduce Stress in Your Life , 5 Elements of Great Public
Speaking, 10 TIPS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING, and sample speech . Not only that , I
also had seeking for seniors sisters to discussed about the right method to change

I think this coursework have given me many advantages . For
example , I can improve my English language and learn many different thesaurus
based on the article that I had selected . I also had learnt on how to develop
dictionary skill , a student really need to always refer to dictionary to find the
meanings of vocabulary . On the other hand, I also learn how to elaborate the main
point in the article in the graphic organizers form and I find that my English language
have improved. I also know how to do short notes and pick the important point
beside the material that I found .
In addition , due to this coursework , my relationship between me
and my group members had become more closer because we always meet to
discuss on how to do our coursework together. We found the material from the
library and also internet and then we grouped up all the material we got from
different sources and chose which article or material is suitable and easier for us to
do our graphic organisers together . We had learned the moral value of co-operation
and be tolerance to each other in order to complete our coursework. Although we
had some small argument during choosing the material , but finally we can cope it
well and become more closer until we finished it .
Moreover , firstly I thought I cant present the speech well as I lack of
confidence. This speech was the second time I choose the text of speech , the first
speech I chosen is shorter .Then I finally can find a speech that suitable for me and
full field the length of time durance that is between 5 until 7 minutes. I convinced
myself as I can present my speech better if I do more practice in front of the mirror
as we know that practice make prefect . Although I know i cant speak very fluent
in English , but I will try my best to present my speech in title 6 Keys To Reduce
Stress In Your Life.
In the nutshell, this is another brand new experience for me to do
this English assignment in group . I realize that not only discipline our time
management really essential as old saying that time is gold , but also the
importance of the English language itself to me as the future teacher as well as it
was the most essential international language .
