Speaking
is sharing of thoughts, ideas and knowledge verbally. Speaking adds value to our expressions and
improves our communication skills. A good orator is always a treat to the ears.
Speaking,
alike reading helps to organise our thoughts and communicate well and thus
leading to better expressions. Speaking improves pronunciation, brings clarity
of words and helps in understanding different sounds.
Speaking
has a positive impact on your personality. It helps in communicating with
peers, groups, students and everyone around. Speaking does not mean using only
one language. Like reading, speaking in multiple languages makes one an
effective communicator. Speaking is expressing feelings and thus should be done
in the language in which one is most comfortable.
Speaking
helps children learn better and faster because of the practices and approaches
adopted by educators/teachers for pre-schoolers including saying aloud songs,
rhymes, the story actually leads to powerful learning. Learning through speaking at a young age helps
the child has a clear speech which ultimately leads to better and effective
communication.
Speaking
has a lot of benefits. It helps children put out their opinion and suggestions
during discussions. Organising activities such as debate, extempore helps bring
about clarity and coherence of thoughts in children leading to better
communication. Speaking helps students develop a habit of reacting and asking
questions and builds critical thinking. It also helps shy and introvert
students come out of their comfort zone and speaking leads to develop listening
skills simultaneously.
