Description of  SPOKEN ENGLISH: Speak English Fluently and Confidently - Part 2 (SPOKEN ENGLISH AND FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR)

The main objectives of the book is to acquaint the learners with the basic elements that make up English speech, and then to develop in them the necessary skills and techniques of oral communication, telephonic conversation, interviewing etc. through English. Competence in Spoken English is one of the four skills of LSRW to be acquired by anyone who is engaged or aspires to be engaged in a work situation that requires oral communication in English. In this course on Spoken English, we aim to introduce the learner to the basic features of oral communication. As it is known that speech is a form of communication performed orally, the units of this course will help the learners to understand some of the basic issues of conversation in English. When we talk with someone, we actually make use of certain social norms and rules, which may vary from situation to situation. Our conversation is essentially a speech act that takes place in a particular situation or a setting. Every day, we confront multiple situations that call for interactive conversation or even discussion. Most conversations tend to be in ones mother tongue but sometimes there are situations where one is also required to speak in English. Therefore, the course is a step towards preparing the learner for such situations when he or she will be required to use English. These situations may be either face-to-face or telephonic mode. When the learner is engaged in face to face mode of conversation or in telephonic conversation, he or she must remember that there are certain rules that one has to follow and use effectively.
