Erik Palmer – författare

Teachers at all grade levels in all subjects have speaking assignments for students, but many teachers believe they don''t know how to teach speaking, and many even fear speaking to groups themselves.

In Well Spoken veteran teacher and education consultant Erik Palmer shares the art of teaching speaking in any classroom. Teachers will find thoughtful and engaging strategies, lessons, and tips for integrating speaking skills throughout the curriculum. Palmer stresses the essential elements of all effective oral communication used in one-to-one, small group, large group, formal, informal, in-person, and digital situations including:

● Building a Speech: Audience, Content, Organization, Visual Aids, and Appearance

● Performing a Speech: Poise, Voice, Life, Eye Contact, Gestures, and Speed

● Evaluating a Speech: Creating Effective Rubrics, Guiding Students to Excellence

In this updated second edition, Palmer builds on his tried and true framework, with the addition of practical steps and lesson ideas for teaching speaking in a variety of digital contexts. With new chapters focusing on digital speaking contexts including podcasts, webinars, and video/audio apps, Palmer demonstrates how to adjust and enhance the teaching of speaking to include both in-person and digital contexts.

Discover why, year after year, students returned to Palmer''s classroom to thank him for teaching them how to be well spoken. You may find, after reading this book, that you have become a better speaker, too.
