Abstract

The soul of public speaking is a manful skill of every language teacher. It is in the realisation of this purpose that he is actuated. It is also by the profound resolution of this course that he can establish himself. The language teachers’ public speaking skills go with the dauntless spirit that faces all obstacles, the ability to conquer the obstacles, and sweep onward to the desired goal. Clearly, one may have the best ideas in the world, but if he does not possess the basic skills to present such, he will obviously have a problem getting anyone listen to him. This paper discussed how a language teacher will have to be clear and coherent in the contents that will get his message heard and appreciated. It explained the meaning and importance of public speaking, discussed how language teachers can overcome fear of public speaking, and addressed the skills they must possess to effectively communicate their ideas to the public. The paper went further to highlight how the materials for public presentation could be organised. It also gave the conclusion and some recommendations on what language teachers should do to achieve prospects for public speaking.
