It does not elude my notice that this course could potentially be a scary one for you% #his
introductory study of communication will challenge you in areas of yourself that you are
not even aware of yet% #erms li0e interpersonal and intrapersonal! cross1cultural! group
and public spea0ing! among others! will be e(plored through discussion and your own
demonstration% 2For e(ample! are you guilty of over1attribution) >ou?ll find out this
semester=< @oo0 at it as a Aourney%
henever I underta0e a new tas0! I loo0 upon it as a new Aourney! a road that must be
traveled! a path that must be wal0ed% For the ne(t semester! we will be traveling a Aourney
together in our "peech class% :owever! I am not traveling this road alone% $ore
importantly! neither are you% e shall start together! and end up! side by side!
enlightened! and a little more in touch with what the concept of speech means to us%
#hrough that process! we will discover! in spite of ourselves! some of the things that
ma0e us tic0% e will learn many new things% I am counting on you to supply me with
your very own energy! enthusiasm! discipline! dedication! talents! and e(periences to
ma0e this course a more meaningful one% >ou may e(pect the same from me%
#he class will not only demand that you demonstrate a proficiency in the s0ills e(amined
in this class! but also a real desire to share yourself! and ideas within our group% #his is an
essential element to the Aourney% I want to ma0e that clear% #his is your class% >ou must
assume ownership% From the very first class! I will be as0ing you to share your ideas% I
value them% "o will the class% It is through this e(ploration that we can e(plore our
differences! and our similarities% It is through this process that we will learn about others!
but more importantly! ourselves% #his is because spea0ing is more than an analytical!
empirical e(ercise in which 0nowing speech theories and techniBues alone will enrich
you to the point of creating meaningful speech s0ills% e will discover ways that will
bring a self1confidence and an increased self1esteem as to who you are! and therefore! to
your communicative s0ills% >ou will reach a comfort Cone in the way that you spea0 with
others% But this is only brought about by a constant immersion into the art and act of
spea0ing% #herefore! besides the three maAor speeches that all speech classes reBuire! we
will be involved in a series of impromptu speeches! as well% >ou will be given the chance
to share your thoughts so freBuently that spea0ing! by the end of this course! will be
second nature to you%
.
"ure! the Aourney may seem hard! difficult! and maybe even impossible for you!
especially those that truly fear getting up in front of people% #hat?s all right% e are all
scared! and this fear usually comes from the fact that we are afraid of the un0nown% e
will ma0e the an(iety filled area of public spea0ing 0nown% "peech is a world that can be
fun and revealing% But! it is also a world that demands discipline! hard wor0! and courage%
D(pect to use them% It is often impossible to have one without the others% #here is no easy
way out to improve our spea0ing s0ills% If it seems too easy! it probably is% But if you try
with an open mind! and a sense of courage! you will discover the eBuation that follows
this progression&
I$3E""IB@D,,,,4IFFIC+@#,,,,:ABI#+A@,,,,DA">,,,,BDA+#IF+@
It is imperative that everyone 0nows that this class is not a competition% e are all
talented and have important things to say% e are all creative% e are all nervous% 7one of
us can grow at the same rates% I?m not so much interested in how good you are! but how
hard you try%
Ene of the areas that are integral in the success of this class is a familiarity with your
peers and classmates! so that our classroom shares in a free e(change of your ideas% >ou
will get a chance to tal0 about what you write! write about what you spea0! and then
engage in a dialogue with others that share the planet with you% >ou will see first hand
that what you thin0 and say is important! and that your gifts can ma0e a difference in the
world%
#he Aourney we travel may be a long one! and at times e(hilarating and difficult! but if we
wor0 hard! share our e(periences and our talents! wor0 well together and on our own! we
will discover that we will reach the end together! in one piece! and a little more
enlightened than when we started%
@et us prepare for the Aourney%
