Speech disorder

When giving speeches most of the time the person giving the speech is experiencing Communication apprehension. The definition of Communication apprehension is the level of fear, or anxiety, an individual faces when having to communicate with one or multiple people. I have dealt with Communication apprehension for quite a while now. Although it is not as bad, as it used to be. My freshman year of college, I was actually enrolled in the COMS 130 course, but my fear of public speaking, caused me to…

to understand from the perspective of a first-time listener. The second guideline is “Relate the subject directly to the audience.” In order to give a successful speech, the speaker must keep the audience interested. Relating the subject to the audience is one clear way of doing this. For example, in my informative speech on the Culper Spy Ring, I started out by showing a picture of James Bond. The entire audience recognized the character, and was almost immediately interested simply…

While both versions care for speech more than actions, the Norton version puts a bigger emphasis on it. When speaking, Medea is exceedingly deliberate in getting the response she craves. “Women of Corinth, I have stepped outside so you will not condemn me. Many people act superior- I’m well aware of this. Some keep it private; some are arrogant in public view” (Page 751 Lines: 212-215). The act of stepping out into the light is a form of acknowledging the women already view her in an ill manner…

dreading having to say the first speech. Then we had our first online class, I felt a lot more prepared and had a better understanding of what was expected. Through com103 I was able to grow an understanding of how to prepare and organize a speech, I was able to decrease the anxiety I get before a speech, effectively listen and am now more prepared to talk and…

Language is a truly unique thing since everyone utilizes it differently allowing people to show who they are. When I was in the sixth grade, I attended a summer camp where many of the campers were from Tennessee. Living in Alabama, I believed that I had a southern accent, but these campers made my accent seem nonexistent. Many people have stories like this one where they sound different or used different words than the people that they are speaking with at the time. In James Baldwin’s essay, he…

Speech 5 was no doubt the most difficult one. My topic was the importance of voting, in my speech I talked about how my oldest brother was into politics and how growing up he always emphasized the importance of voting to myself and my entire family as well. As my speech progressed I talked about how every vote matters and how, as crazy as it sounds Donald Trump could help draw a new audience to politics. I tried by best to show the audience just how important voting really was by giving them…

Preserving Endangered Languages As An Art Form The article “Why Do Language Die?” by Noah Tesch reminds me a conversation that I had with a Cherokee when I visited a Cherokee Preservation festival at the Cherokee National Park several years ago. When I asked if they are speaking their native languages, he replied to me that the government requires their younger generations to learn whatever are in the culture of Cherokee, including learning the Cherokee language because their languages are near…

The senior project kick-off made feel that I am going on the right path with my project, during the begging of the school year I didn't really know what to do with my project. As the year went on and doing my research paper, I got an idea of what I really want to do with my project and the main point of my project. Speaking in front of adults is a lot different from speaking to my fellow classmates because with your classmates your a lot comfortable speaking in front of them and used to being…

slideshow presentation on this dinosaur. I was terrified to present because my peers laughed at my speech impediment. Joselyn, the cult leader, made me feel so alone while I was at school. To avoid humiliation, I asked my teacher if I could present just to her. She looked at me coldly and said I needed to grow up and “get over it.” But I could not just “get over” this feeling of failure. I had attended speech classes from kindergarten to fifth grade, but the classes did not help much. I still…

My clinic client that I observe has his therapy session on Tuesdays at 10:15. He is around 3 years old and originally had the diagnosis of language delay. His diagnosis has changed from that to developmental articulation disorder and expressive language disorder. One thing that surprised me was that most of the activities during the therapy session are the client is just playing and then the clinician tries to get him to produce words and utterances. One specific experience that I remember was…
