Features: This book focuses on training general oral communication and teacher-specific oral skills, supplemented by learning public speaking and debate techniques. It is a comprehensive oral training textbook that combines fundamentals with improvement, knowledge with practice. While emphasizing theoretical aspects, the book incorporates numerous training examples to detail skills such as recitation, listening and speaking, and quick thinking. It vividly demonstrates the key skills of classroom oral communication (i.e., introductory remarks, instructional language, transitional phrases, questioning techniques, and concluding remarks). Additionally, it introduces new methods in teaching skills and curriculum reform—micro-teaching and lesson presentation. The textbook is highly practical and serves as an excellent guide for pre-service teachers to systematically master teacher-specific oral skills, as well as a valuable resource for in-service teachers to enhance their classroom teaching abilities.
