The book even includes advice on answering questions when the answer is “I don’t know” or “I can’t tell you.” With worksheets in each chapter, it prepares leaders to ask important questions of: * Customers (“Why do you do business with our competition?”) * Employees (“What’s a recent management decision you didn’t understand?”) * And even themselves (“What do I want to be remembered for?”) Author Biography: Chris Clarke-Epstein (Wausau, WI) is a consultant, seminar leader, and author of several books, including The Instant Trainer.

A polyglot boardinghouse: A history of public bilingual schooling in the United States, 1840–1920. $49.99 Much of the literature on the history of bilingual education in the United States lacks a connection to the broader social context. This dissertation attempts to partially overcome that shortcoming; the study argues that cultural, intellectual, religious, demographic, economic, and political forces shaped the contours of dual-language instruction in America between 1840 and 1920.;Prior to the Progressive era, a variety of social forces facilitated the emergence of several distinct patterns of foreign-language instruction in the public schools of the United States. Most often, bilingual schools materialized organically, particularly in small ethnic towns, without a grand underlying social or political agenda. Sometimes, however, dual-language instruction was used as a political arrangement to appease a large segment of the population. Additionally, school leaders occasionally offered bilingual instruction as a means of enticing foreign-language speakers into the public schools in order to “Americanize” them. Moreover, in English-only institutions, bilingual education, when it was employed at all, took on a covert form. By contrast, some foreign-language speakers established their mother tongues and worldviews as a sizable portion of the regular public-school curriculum.;The Progressive period and the First World War brought forth drastic changes that worked against dual-language instruction. During the Progressive era, the English language was at a premium, and bilingual education came to be seen as not only inefficient but also as running counter to the progressives’ desire for cohesion. Despite the new mood of the nation, ethnic leaders utilized the language and science of progressivism to justify their dual-language programs. The Great War unleashed a fanatic patriotism that sought to end all things deemed foreign. Public cries for rapid Americanization forced numerous cities and states to end their bilingual programs. This dissertation concludes with a brief |

Citizenship And The Schools $15.16 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:III. THE MAKING OF CITIZENS. ” The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops,—no, but the kind of man the country turns out.”—Emerson. There is, perhaps, no other subject that is of more constant, universal interest to men than politics; none that is more perennially fresh and interesting. And yet, singular as it may seem, there is probably no class of duties resting upon our citizens that is on the whole so thoughtlessly performed. People commonly assume that they know everything on that subject. They talk upon it, not to learn, but with the hope, vain hope, of convincing others; or, if they are of the same political party, of indulging in scornful remarks concerning their opponents. Even in the great educational campaigns, the political speakers who are to instruct the people, appeal rather to prejudice than to reason. It makes and holds votes better, and it is votes they are after. But these facts (and no thoughtful person will deny that they are facts) show that there is need in the intervals between campaigns of coolly considering some of the fundamental principles of government—this for ourselves; and the threatening aspect of socialistic, or rather of “Address given in 1889, heretofore not published. anarchistic movements, on the one hand, with the equally threatening aspect, in certain senses, of party strife on the other, make it imperative that our children also he carefully trained in a knowledge of the principles of citizenship. It is evident that, in the discussion of such a subject as the one before us, in so far as it concerns our public schools at least, the question should not be limited to the training of voters, but should include men, women, children—all who owe allegiance to their country |

Democracy In The Making $32.75 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER II THE STORY OF THE FORD HALL SUNDAY- EVENING MEETINGS By George B. Gallup IT is not difficult to describe Ford Hall. Many have written about it. Newspaper and magazine writers of ability and prominence have pictured in brilliant phrases the picturesque and striking features of this wonderful undertaking. It has engaged the attention of famous speakers, and has been praised by many religious leaders and damned by a few. Nevertheless it still remains a difficult if not an impossible task to tell the true story of Ford Hall, not merely as it really seems to most observant eye witnesses, but as it exists potentially. It is a phenomenal social creation which deceives even penetrating and experienced critics, because of its apparent simplicity, and seeming likeness to many familiar types of public meetings. The cataloguing of the events, chronologically, in the development of the story is necessary to a proper comprehension of the series of open forum meetings, known widely by the familiar title of Ford Hall, and this has been done in many chaptersin great detail with a variety of comment and illuminating side lights. But the real story of Ford Hall must be discovered in the unfolding of a great social ideal in the mind of one man, George W. Coleman. This ideal had its inception far back of the time which marks with a white stone in the history of Boston the actual beginning of the meetings. This ideal was the result of personal experiences, most of them very natural and human, such as come to a multitude of men, but a few of them extraordinary — such as only seem to attend the careers of persons born to a striking destiny. George W. Coleman in early manhood determined upon a newspaper adventure in South America. The sailing vessel cargoed with lumber w… |

Elements Of Public Speaking $20.68 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER II THE CONVERSATIONAL MODE Most people who are interested in the art of speech- making realize the very great importance of good delivery, since the success of any speech depends in large measure upon the effectiveness with which it is delivered. It has often been maintained that the reason why so many people speak poorly is that they have nothing worth while to say, and that if a speaker has anything really worth while to give to his audience — any real message — he will deliver it well. It would be as reasonable to expect that one who has anything to write will write it well or that he who has anything to paint will paint it well upon the canvas, regardless of training. In respect to the importance of good delivery in speaking, Emerson once made the significant statement that what is said is the least part of an oration, which is only one way of saying that the most vital message may be ineffective if poorly delivered. We are all familiar with instances where speakers have spent much time in careful preparation, where there has been clear and logical organization of material, and yet where the final effect of the speech has been wholly unsatisfactory because of a failure to deliver it well. It is important that we consider at the outset some of the causes for the failure of speeches that would be good if well delivered. Nearly all faults of speech work on the side of delivery are due either to a wrong conception of what good delivery is or to the failure to employ correctprinciples in its use. Misconceptions of speech delivery. A wrong conception of good delivery is much more common than one would generally suppose. The most common misconception seems to be that the tone to be used in the delivery v of a speech, no matter what the character of the |

Free Trade in Land $19.47 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:INTRODUCTION TO THE LETTERS. December 15, 1877. In these letters I wish to explain, as simply, clearly, and shortly as I can, the facts of a great subject, which will henceforward until its settlement more and more draw to itself the attention of the public—I mean the subject of the Land Laws. It is surrounded by so many technicalities, and by so many statutes and decisions of the courts—the law is so difficult even for lawyers to understand ; such a vast literature of rubbish has grown up around it; so many thousands of cases have been argued and reported upon its meaning; and lawyers are so unwilling to put their own hands to the work of reform—that it is not wonderful that the most singular mistakes should be made by many public speakers in dealing with this question, and that the real reforms which are needed, should still be wrapped in so much obscurity. And yet I believe that this subject is capable of a simple and intelligible statement, and that the facts in which the unprofessional public are interested are few and easy of comprehension. I am, however, almost astonished at myself for venturing on the above statement, when I reflect that I have known the deed of settlement of one estate to require many months for its preparation ; to cover nearly a barrow-load of paper when written out preparatory to being engrossed on parchment ; and to cost over 400 for the conveyancer’s chargesalone, without reckoning either the solicitor’s charges or the cost of the necessary stamps. And yet, with all this cumbrous, costly, and scarcely intelligible verbosity, the title of such an estate is scarcely ever free from some doubt or question. I propose to try to explain :— 1. The actual condition of things which the present Land Laws have produced. 2. What |

These are speech exercises that you can use in your public speaking courses, clubs or organizations. There are more than enough exercises to last you an entire semester.

Over a thousand students have participated in these activities and as a result have become competent speakers while having fun. Read what students who take Dr. Akil’s classes say about his methods:“Dr. Akil is a great teacher. I was worried I would not make it through this class because I have anxiety and do not like speaking in front of people. He made it easier for me to speak in front of others. For that I am grateful!”“One of the best classes I ever had in three semesters! At first I was afraid of public speaking because I am not so used to speaking in front of large groups of people, but after taking Dr. Akil’s class I actually enjoy it and now I feel like talking everyday with new people and asking questions more often to others instructors, which I never did before taking this class.”“Dr. Akil’s way of teaching public speaking made me feel more comfortable speaking in front of others. The concepts and things learned in class taught me that there was a whole lot more to presenting an effective speech!”“At the beginning of course, I was so scared about being in a speech class. I was dreading it. But he definitely took away all the anxiety I had about giving a speech and made the people in my class feel really comfortable with each other. I recommended him to a lot of people. :] ““Dr Akil is absolutely an |

Pink Friday $13.99 By the time 2010 rolled around, debuts like Nicki Minaj? s Pink Friday could still fall into the ? highly anticipated? category, but the reasoning was different. Two years of strong mixtapes and guest appearances meant the hip-hop faithful already knew this sometimes dirty debutante could take that gutsy Lil’ Kim style to another level, and that both the single and the full-length format were at her command. The only question left is how this versatile artist would present herself to the general public, and the answer is a Gwen Stefani-meets-Baz Luhrman-meets-Young Money-type affair that both dazzles and disappoints. Feed off the production, the great musical ideas, and Minaj? s keen sense of her surroundings, and Pink Friday is an outstanding success. It? s chock-full of new wave textures and diva attitude, creating the kind of atmosphere where will.i.am stops over while you tell the haters to kill themselves over a ? Video Killed the Radio Star? sample (? Check It Out? ). More grand moments come when Kanye West and Minaj mack together on the great, Simple Minds-sampling ? Blazin,? or when ? Your Love? waltzes out of the speakers with a unique brand of hood majesty, but when ? Dear Old Nicki? comes round with ? In hindsight, I loved your rawness and I loved your edge,? Minaj suggests that her growth as an artist requires the sacrificing of all Trina-like qualities. Confusingly, the key track, ? Romans Revenge,? finds her winning while acting as savage as ever, standing up to Eminem — who is in gross-mode — and literally roaring like a tiger to get the job done. This is the Nicki the mixtape crowd fell in love with, and you only need check out 2009? s mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty for examples of how the Barbie (read: pop and R&B) and the bitch (read: hip-hop) sides of Minaj can be sensibly presented together. In the end, Pink Friday is an ambitious, glossy stunner if fashion week is your favorite time of year, but Minaj didn? t earn her… |

Presidential Voices $19.95 Perhaps more than anyone else, politicians are what they say — and how they say it. In Presidential Voices, Metcalf examines both how the presidents have spoken to the American public and how the American public has wanted its presidents to speak. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, Metcalf shows what contemporaries have said about the chief speakers in the White House. He explores the distinctive words that our presidents favored (and in many cases coined), along with the regional accents that livened the Oval Office. In addition, he uncovers the hidden influence of speechwriters and the changing media on how presidents present themselves to voters. He concludes his survey of presidential speech with entertaining linguistic portraits of all forty-three presidents. From Silent Cal to the Great Communicator, Presidential Voices sheds new and original light on the ways in which our commanders in chief have commanded the language. After reading this book, you will never again take what our president says for granted. |
