INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION

Speaking is one of language skills that

must be learned and practiced to be
fluent in expressing
ideas/thoughts/opinions and feelings.
 INTRODUCTION

When speaking in English, we have to pay

attention in:
a. Enunciation
b. Pronounciation
c. Intonation
d. Accent/Stress
 ENUNCIATION

The act of pronouncing words or parts

of words clearly
(Cambridge dictionary)
 PRONOUNCIATION

Pronunciation is the way in which a word or a

language is spoken. This may refer to generally
agreed-upon sequences of sounds used in speaking a
given word or language in a specific dialect ("correct"
or "standard" pronunciation) or simply the way a
particular individual speaks a word or language.
 INTONATION

Intonation, the rise and fall of the pitch of voice when

speaking, is a key feature of English pronunciation. A
sentence that ends with falling intonation will sound
complete, whereas a sentence that ends with rising
intonation will sound unfinished, or like a question.
 ACCENT/STRESS

An accent is an identifiable style of pronunciation,

often varying regionally or even socioeconomically. It
can be contrasted with a person's dialect, which
includes regional vocabulary
FORMAL AND INFORMAL
SPEAKING
 FORMAL SPEAKING

This is the type of speech that is used in formal or

serious situations such as workplace environments,
dinner parties, job interviews, and places that require
respect such as Government buildings, and more.
 INFORMAL SPEAKING

Informal speech is speech that is casual, spontaneous,

and relaxed.It is used when communicating with
\

friends or family either in conversation.

 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
FORMAL AND INFORMAL SPEECH

The formal and informal speech are differentiate in two

basic ways: by style and by content. Informal speech is
characterized stylistically by omissions, elisions,
reductions, and sometimes, a faster speaking rate. Formal
speech is characterized by embedding (building
information into sentences, also characteristic of written
language), and a tendency toward more complete
sentences as opposed to fragment.
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
FORMAL AND INFORMAL SPEECH

Examples:
Formal speech Informal speech
1. Sorry, gotta go 1. I’m afraid I’ve got to be going now
2. Wanna cola? 2. Could I offer you a cola?
3. He’s a pain in th neck 3. He has not been easy to deal with
4. How are you doing? 4. What’s going on?
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
FORMAL AND INFORMAL SPEECH

Formal and informal speech can also be differentiated on

the basis of content. There are certain phrases
appropriate in informal situations that are inappropriate
in formal situations, such as ‘got any change?’ (which
would not usually be asked of a stranger, for example).
Thus, students need to know not only how to perform
language functions but the cultural rules that determine
when these functions are appropriate.
PRACTICING
SPEAKING
The practice of speaking is done by using dialogues /
conversations; in partners or in small group practice;
and in interview formats. Referring to the topic
“Introduction to Job Interview and Business English”,
it is planned to perform dialogues in context with job
interviews (employment interview)
 WHAT IS
AN INTERVIEW?
An interview is a formal conversation or meeting
between an interviewer and an interviewee to
assess the candidate's qualifications, skills,
experience, and suitability for a specific job
position.
 WHAT IS
A JOB INTERVIEW?
A job interview is a conversation which occurs
between a potential employer and a job
applicant. During the job interview, the employer
hopes to determine whether or not the applicant
is suitable for the job, while the applicant tries to
learn more about the position while also
impressing the employer.
 PURPOSE OF
THE INTERVIEW
The purpose of an interview is to give and to get
information that will help both interviewer and the
interviewee make effective decisions (the employee’s
objective is to get an offer of a job, and the employer’s
objective is to find out what you have to offer, who you
are, and why you should be hired).
TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT/
JOB INTERVIEW
a. Non-directive interview
b. Depth interview
c. Patterned interview
d. Group interview
e. Stress interview
 NON-DIRECTIVE INTERVIEW

Non-directive interviews are unstructured and

flexible, and include more conversation than a
standard interview. They do not rely on an
interviewer having prepared a list of questions
in advance. The interviewer will ask general
questions and will not ask for specific details.
 NON-DIRECTIVE INTERVIEW

The most common non-directive question is,

“Tell me about yourself.” This question is asked
to find out how your background, education,
skills, and personality qualify you for the
position.
 DEPTH INTERVIEW

Depth interview is a where the candidates have to give

a detailed information about their education
background, work experience, special interests, etc. The
interviewer will usually continue probing for answer
that certain the type and amount of information
wanted (tries in finding the expertise of the
candidate).
 PATTERNED INTERVIEW

It is the most highly structured type of interview.

The interviewers claim that patterned interviews
give them more valid, reliable information that
enables them to make effective decision. A
structured interview involves asking a fixed set of
questions in the same format and order to all
candidates attending the interview.
 GROUP INTERVIEW

A group interview is when an employee or team of

employees interviews multiple candidates
simultaneously, or when a team of employees forms a
panel to interview one candidate. Employers typically
perform both types of group interviews in conference
rooms to simulate a meeting or team project.
 STRESS INTERVIEW

Stress interviews involve an assortment of questions

meant to put a candidate in an uncomfortable or
stressful situation, which can help employers
understand how a candidate responds to these types
of scenarios. Learning more about stress interviews can
help you prepare for your next interview with a
company.
 TYPES OF
INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
a. Open questions
b. Closed questions
c. Stress questions
 OPEN QUESTIONS

Open questions are those that cannot be

answered with a simple "yes" or "no." Generally,
