- Title
Teaching Speech In The Military Bases.
- Authors
Christophersen, Merrill G.
- Abstract
This article provides some tips to speech teachers in teaching speech in the military bases. Military classes in speech should be one semester in length, or shorter. For it is a natural military condition that the men who form your classes will be shifted about and away from the camp in which you are teaching. Take this into consideration as you work out the objectives you will be aiming at, and remember that, whatever objectives you choose, they must be ones that can be attained in one semester or less. The men you teach will be as varied as the members of a college freshman speech class. The Commanding Officer might enroll. Do not make any effort to separate officers and men. You might use the trustworthy formula of praising before criticizing adversely; but use that formula with tact and common sense. Praise effort warmly, but briefly.
