SPEAKING ENGLISH: GETTING IT RIGHT AND “WINNING WITH WORDS”
For any person who wants to communicate and be understood, it is vital that we are aware of the process from which speech is formed. We are all individuals with different features, some have small and some have large nasal, oral cavities and this contributes to our uniqueness of tone when we speak, endorsing the fact that you can recognize a person with whom you are familiar by their tone if they are in another room and out of view.

Across The World, The Universal Communication Tool Is English. In South Africa, English is the second or third language of the majority of our population. Our particular brand of English is not easily understood, in many cases, by other South Africans. We do not pronounce or enunciate well and our diction is generally shocking ! Often our managers, lecturers, students, telephonists, receptionists and other “first contact” staff are misunderstood. We each often get irritated when we have to repeat ourselves and will rate poor English as poor communication, lack of empathy and poor customer service. Understanding this need, the Tourism, Hospitality & Sport Business School (THSBS) has developed a short effective English Communication training programme aimed at improving the diction – the pronunciation and enunciation – of all levels of staff. Successful Speech: A Picture Paints A Thousand Words! THSBS has designed a very specific English Communication training programme which, has been developed by educators specialising in language and the dramatic arts. The course includes an understanding of technical aspects, such as breathing exercises to improve our diction, comprehensive skill to improve our understanding of the written word and grammatical skill to produce effective written communication in English. The “Winning with Words” training programme explores the use of the voice and the art of articulation. The course investigates the dynamic use of consonants and vowel sounds to change accents and seeks to master an easy way with grammar. |
