Course Contents
With meaningful pauses and appropriate emphasis on syllables and words, we can express ourselves more clearly; we can speak in a factual and neutral manner, but also with more emotion. In this course, we will focus on accentuation, intonation, and rhythm in spoken language, and above all practice clear communication in everyday life and at work. In addition, we will look at famous speeches and analyze how the speaker employs rhetorical devices of language and semantics to communicate their message.
