Good morning. No, no no not this way. Good morning.
Good morning sir. Welcome to this course in better spoken English. Do you know, why we
say good morning? What is the full form of good morning? Anybody please, raise your hands.
What is the full form? There is you know, good morning comes at the end of a sentence.
What is the sentence? The full sentence. Anybody, yes, please.
I wish you a good morning.
I wish you a good morning. Thank you very much.
What is your name?
Chinmaya..
Chinmaya, do you know why English people wish each other or one another, good morning? England
is a pretty cold, wet and windy country; you know, they are summer temperatures are something
like eleven and twelve degrees Celsius. Imagine their winter; also imagine its drizzling all
the time. Yes, just as we have air conditioner here they have heaters in the room, class
rooms. And then it is windy. So, when they meet one another, they wish one another good
morning or good afternoon or good evening. And when the part, what do they say? When
the part , have a nice day, and when it is dark after sunset, either good evening or
good night. I welcome you to this course in spoken English
What will this course give you? As you might see on the slides, this course has three very
simple objectives; our first objective, as the institute desires is, to help you learn
presentation skills; as engineering scientists, as scientists or later as practicing managers,
you will be expected to make lots of presentations; there are studies which show that, an average
scientists or an average manager spends close to 40 percent of his time or her time, sorry
making presentations or attending presentations. It is it is going to be extremely important
for you that you acquire this skill. Even at this institute, before you walk out with
your B-Tech or M-Tech or any other degree, you will be expected to make lots of presentations
am I right.
Say, yes or no I am a right.
Yes sir.
Right you know. So, it is extremely important that you know your subject, and it is more
important that you must also know how to present. What you know? We will not be dealing with
everything. But some basic of the presentation skills will be dealt with here; the second
objective is to help you acquire some public speaking skill. You know public is speaking
English another kind of affair; it is like theatre; it is like politics; it is like you
know whole lot of things. There are lots of people who know quite a lot; who know much;
who are masters in their subject, but when you ask them to address a crowd of 500 people
in an international conference, they get tense; they become nervous; they almost you know
start sweating; they forget their own name or their topic. So, public speaking is going
to be an extremely important part of your personality and your carrier growth. If you
want to lead your own friends, your peer group; you will have to be an effective public speaker,
which means, you should be able to talk to a thousand people with the same degree of
comfort with which you talk to your neighbour in the hostel, your mother or father or other
relatives; not father, fathers are difficult to talk right. Mothers, yes. You know, you
should be at ease. So, we will try and see; look at some skills that make you a good public
speaker. How many people here feel nervous, when they speak in public? Have you ever spoken
in public?
Yes or No?
Yes sir.
But we we will overcome it, before the end of this semester. And the end of this course,
you will become an effective and a confident public speaker; you may not have anything
to say, but you will still be saying something. So, feel happy. Finally, because you know,
you will most of the time be making professional presentations and public speeches in English;
therefore, it is important that you should also acquire some basics; very fundamentals
of English pronunciation. You know, how many of you have ever been to a course in English
pronunciation? No one, you know in our Indian schools and colleges, we do not teach spoken
English; that is one reason and a very important reason, why this institute has a course in
spoken English; you also know that, when it comes to speaking, English is a different
kind of language; its writing system does not always indicate pronunciation; sometimes
c u t is cut, but b u t is, I will later tell you that, any in many parts of the United
Kingdom, in many parts of England in particular, c u t is also cut not cut, but that is an
exception. you know the point I am making is the following, that English s spelling
is not necessarily a good indicator of English pronunciation; sometimes when you are in doubt,
you should be able to look up a dictionary, check the pronunciation and get it right Later,
I am going to ask you to buy a dictionary; buy any dictionary you know Then you I will
I will give the hand out or tomorrow or I will tell you later, an advanced leaner s
of dictionary of any brand will be all right. This will be your course book; the better
spoken English, acquire a copy as soon as you can. This will guide you through the course.
And there are exercises in this book; do those exercises as I tell you and you will find
that your your pronunciation, your accent is changing. You are becoming a more and more
confident speaker. Is there all alright?
Do you understand?
Yes.
Am I too rapid for you?
No sir.
Are we together?
Yes sir.
Lovely, may god bless you?
How shall we evaluate you on this course? No examinations, feel happy laugh. Laugh.
Say wow; wow no examinations; it is a examination is such boring thing for both the taught and
the teacher. It is more boring for us. Imagine yourself, looking at 40 answer scripts of
a service standard guide; nothing is more hazardous to your health. Then looking at
those scripts, and then at the end each student is ready to fight with you. Why he or she
did not get 101 on 100, but we survive. So, on this course I took permission of the senate
to have no examinations. But they asked me, the senate ask me, how will you distinguish
between Arun and Kiran? Will they all get the same marks? I said no. Then, I said, each
student here will make four presentations. And those presentations will be evaluated
on a progressive scale. You know. So, First presentation will be for about 50 seconds.
If you like, you I have given your handout; it says that, if you like you can make a note.
The first presentation will be for 50 seconds. And the first Presentation will take place
tomorrow; make a note. Tomorrow 8 o clock, you will be talking about yourself. Please
write. You will be talking about yourself. The next three presentations; as the slides
tell you will happen in February, March and April. As I have as I told you yesterday,
and as I have written on these slides, the next presentation will be for 110 seconds.
The Third Presentation will also be for 110 seconds. And the final presentation will be
for 120 seconds. They will have different kinds of topics; I will tell you about them,
as we approach those topics. For tomorrow, prepare a presentation on, who I am? Please
write. I will I will tell you more about, what you can tell me on this topic, a little
later. Let me go through the introductory part first.
Is there all right? Is that alright? Say, yes or no.
yes sir
Any questions please? Anything? Shall we go?
Yes sir.
Are we together?
Yes sir.
Are you comfortable?
Yes sir
Lovely! This is the text quite told you about, why do we need a course in spoken English?
You may ask, after all you speak English, don t you? Is there any one here would has
not speak in English? Since you are all ready walking, already running, why should you have
a course in running? Or, why should you have a course in walking? You may ask me. right
The answer is extremely simple. The answer is, number one; English is a spoken language.
You know, like Sanskrit; how many of you know Sanskrit here? Yes, lovely one, two, three;
not bad. Last semester, I taught a course; we had 56 at students and only one boy said
he knew Sanskrit here; at least 3 out of 40s, we have better percentage here. You know Sanskrit
is a wonderful language, but it is no longer popularly spoken language; it is no longer,
a popularly spoken language; it is mostly confined to reading a books or wedding ceremonies
or last rites, when your grandfather or people like me die. But it is really the case that,
a boy tells another boy in Sanskrit, let us bunk the class. Does it happen? Does it? Or
does not it? Or it is really the case that, an engineering scientist today makes a presentation
in Sanskrit. Of course, Doordharshan, the television of the government of India has
a news telecast in Sanskrit. Have you seen that telecast? Any one? Raise your hands.
Lovely. So, there is you know, but Sanskrit is not a popularly spoken language right In
Europe, Latin has nearly the same prestige and a status; you know it is mostly you know
confined to books or the church or to some extremely restricted purposes all right; but
unlike them English is a spoken language; English is the language of business; no matter
what company you join. Even if you join Eenadu, even if you join Ushodhaya industries in Hyderabad,
the language of business is... Is it Telugu or English? It is English even when you join
Nav Bharath times, even when you join Hindi speaking television or mass media company,
the business records are mostly kept, even in Indian today in English. And worldwide
English is the language of business. I am not saying business cannot be performed in
other languages, but by accidents of history, it so happens that English is the language
of business today. English is also the language of science and technology. According to some
people, all data on all the computers of the world put together have a huge portion only
in English. These days you have search engines which also run in Tamil and Hindi and Bangla
and Marathi. But most of the time, what is it? English And English is also you know,
when you go to an international conference or multidisciplinary conference where people
from physics and mechanical engineering and humanities come together, then you do not
to speak there; you do not make presentations there in Telugu or Tamil or Hindi or bangla.
You make your presentation there in English. Even in Europe until recently French used
to be the language of science, until about the first world War. But after the first world
war, English gradually, because of American quote and quote power English became gradually
became the language of the world. Even beauty contest is held in English, even a sports
are has conducted in... Sports events are conducted in English. Moreover as I told you
earlier, as for as I know, no school in Indian teaches a proper curricular course in spoken
English, am I right?
Am I right?
yes sir.
So all the more reason you know that you should have a course in Spoken English. Let us go.
You might say, is my Spoken English not all right, already? I would say, yes. It is or
nearly all right you know I have no difficult in understanding; you you have no difficult
to understanding me. I hope. Do you understand me?
Yes sir
Do you understand me?
yes sir
But when you go beyond your city, town or village or country; when you go out in the
world, English is not spoken in the same way with the same accent all over the world. Moreover,
written English is guided by spelling, punctuation, vocabulary. You know, different kind of grammar;
I am sure you have appeared at English language examinations, where you had questions testing
your knowledge of spelling, vocabulary, punctuation, am I right? But have you ever appeared at
an examination which tested your knowledge of stress, , rhythm, have you?. So, you know
that is the point. Spoken English has a different grammar; a spoken language, any spoken language
be it Telugu be it. Hindi, you know when we write we write elaborately complete sentences
(FL). But in you know when we speak, we just say hello, hi; that is a complete three sentences
hello, hi or good morning. And ok are you ok? that is how it is understood? yes spoken
language has a different grammar. What are the features of a spoken language? Number
one: it is not guided by a spelling and punctuation. What is it guided by then? What separates
one word from another one phrase from another one sentence from another? How are these words
put together? It is guided by these three things. Please make a note on your notebook,
and I am going to ask you to learn to speak with these three things. What are they can?
Anyone read it loud to me.
What are they?
Pause pause stress and intonation.
And intonation not intonation intonation together
What are these?
Pause pause stress intonation
together again.
What are these three things?
Pause pause stress stress and intonation intonation.
You know, you pause just as you leave a space between words. When you write, you pause between
words and phrases between phrases. When you speak, stress some part of the sentence is
stressed just now I was stressed three these are the three things. I did not say these
are the three things; I did not say these are the three things; Did I say that, I stressed
three you know in spoken language stress is important which part of the sentence is stressed,
which part of the word is stressed if it is a long word then which part of the word is
stressed in English, that is extremely important. So, pause stress and intonation. What is your
tone are you asking question has the taxi arrived? or are you making a statement. Of
course, the taxi has arrived. Do you see my point? You know that sentence in in spoken
English. You do not say has the taxi arrived? Question mark in writing you do that you see
has the taxi arrived question mark.
But when you speak to your friend, you do not say Arun, has the taxi arrived?, question
mark. Do you say that then, how does Arun know? It is a question. Arun knows it is a
question; Kiran knows it is a question. Because of your tone, you have a question tone has
taxi arrived? Is IIT, Madras a good institute?. Of course, it is because you are here right.
So, you know different kinds of sentences; have different kinds of tones. We have to
learn pause stress and intonation. You already know quite a lot. It is not that you know
nothing you already quite a lot, but if there are a few missing parts you have to acquire
those missing parts.
Am I clear to you?
Yes sir
Say yes or no, everybody please.
Yes sir
I see you no smiles on your faces; I see you worries. Are you comfortable?
Yes sir.
Lovely! May god bless you for a pause look at them for one minute look at them, silent
look at the slides silently, but carefully and then I am going to ask some of you to
raise your hands and read some sentences aloud, but with pauses. Do you understand? Look at
these sentences; take any one sentence and I will ask you read it aloud with pauses sentence
or phrase or words whatever they are, but before you speak, you I will request you to
raise your hands. So, that my friends behind the camera can pick up your lovely face; your
bright young charming face on their camera. Who first raise your hand? You do not have
to take an entire sentence; take any one line.
What s your name?
Rohan.
Rohan, lovely! Rohan, read the first line.
to be or not to be is the question.
Marvellous! That is great; that is fantastic. Next.
What s your name?
Amhan.
Hamlet - the prince of Denmark.
Next, next come on, please any one raise your hand. Please, at least some people. Do not
you want to be picked up by the camera?
The new oxford English dictionary, edited by Richard Murphy and published in 1916, by
Clarendon Press in oxford United Kingdom.
Next, yes, what is your name?
Tamil.
All the beautiful red roses
Next.
What is your name?
There is something rotten in the State of Denmark Europe
You must take pause and must take audible pause. You know I am asking you to be silent,
such that your silence is heard. Do you see the point? You know where you speak? And when
you suddenly go silent, your silence is heard. I have been speaking for the last 20 minutes,
and if I stop speaking, then my silence will be heard. I have stopped speaking. So, you
know there should be pause, but it should not be too long; it should not be too short.
I will tell you, as we go into it. We are going to spend quite some time learning to
speak slowly, but these things are extremely simple; these are common sense things. And
you have done it clearly, rightly. Nearly everyone of you, one or two of you, did it
extremely well. You know, it is just common sense.
So, that is pause; that is the grammar of spoken English; that is what you have to learn.
What is stress? In English you know, we will spend quite some time on. It nearly 10 hours
talking about this in English; there are no hard and fast rules about there or rules about
which part of the word is going to be stressed. But unlike our languages, it is not always
the beginning of the word or the end of the word. You know it; it changes; it varies for
a number of reasons. English words are different, different words or differently stressed and
we know the words we know, the spelling of those words. But once again, nobody has drawn
our attention to something called stress on these words. So, for example, look at these
words before you I am going to ask you to speak. Those words you know read; those words
aloud to me with proper stresses or those who have not spoken. So, that they also they
are also; their phrases are also captured by the camera. How many of you can? Any one
first.
Who is going to read some words aloud? Raise your hand, somebody please.
Any?
What s your name?
Amhan.
Amhan,
Any?
Next, you can stop next.
What s your name?

Engineer.
Right you see, do you have spoken about six words and at least four of them had been mispronounced.
Watch me, your pronunciation of any was right. It is any the first part is pronounced speak
with me any any once again any yeah stress first part any any then the next word is stress
the first part almost.
but that that is towards again it is first part of the word again always.
Always.
Say it again.
Always.
Say it again
Always, but the next word the second part is stressed. So, what is it.

What is it?
Engineer.
Once again.
Engineer.
Once again.
Engineer.
Next time, I do not want anybody in this class to be pronouncing his profession as engineer.
You are going to be?
Engineer.
Engineers.
What are you going to be?
Engineers.
What are you going to be?

What is it?
Obsolescence.
So, you see from these few words that different English words.
Are you with me?
Yes sir.
Everybody please, are you tired?
No.
No, may god bless you.
Different English words at differently stressed; unlike as you know, we do not say Amar and
then we do not say Arun, but in English you know somebody is Robert, but other person
in you know Macbeth; that is how they are English are a funny people and their language
is also funny. But you know; I mean it in a lighter sense light way but this is how
it is. So, when you learn a new word, you must also learn its pronunciation; particularly,
the way it is stressed. Do you understand me?
Next, intonation: what is intonation? I told you a while ago that meaning partly lies in
the word, and partly lies in the tone; the same words can make you laugh, and the same
words make you cry if I tell you. So, you think you are honest right? Is it a compliment?
Is it a compliment?
No.
Why not? why why not?
Your tone voice is different.
My tone voice is intimidating, sarcastic, threatening . I almost said, Arun I will cut
your head, kiran; I will cut your head and speed post it to your father in law or your
mother in law; it was sarcastic but it can also be encouraging, enthusiastic, jovial,
loving, affectionate. Oh you are an honest person What is it? Even if Arun is caught
stealing a pencil from my room, and if I say oh Arun come on you are in honest person
What kind of tone is that?
Encouraging
Do not steal the pencil again. It is a mistake. You know, sometimes boys makes us mistakes.
So, tone is extremely important; meaning does not lie only in words; it is partly also the
function of the tone. We will talk more about it, as we go along, but the point I am making
is spoken English is a different cup of tea. Do you see the point?
Yes or no?
Yes.
Because, it is used in a different manner; you do not say, Arun are you honest? I am
forecasting, Arun you are honest? I am encouraging you do not say for breakfast.t I take butter
comma bread comma omelette full stop. Do you do that? You do not, but you pauses are of
different lengths. For breakfast I take coffee, bread and omelette with some milk and fruits
you know. So, this is how it goes; when I said ok, I did not say ok question mark your
tone; your pause gives you the sentence. I am going to ask some of you to read some of
these sentences aloud slowly; do not be in a hurry; there is no hurry right Those who
have a not spoken yet. So, who first? The first the first expression come on? Come on,
those who have not expressed. Do not feel shy. This is a course in Spoken English; you
would not learn how to you speak?
What s your name?
Ajay
Ajay, marvellous!
Oh god! My god!
This not o god is like you know, you are whispering is like cheating at an examination hall. Do
it loud, you are crying to god come again..
Oh god.
Yes.
My god!
Oh god my god come again
Oh god my god.
My god stress out god lot of sometimes you can say my god, but that is rare you know
we will oh god god round your lips.
Everybody please.
O god! My god! you see the difference, and oh god, my god, it is look like you were going
from HSB to Mandakini hostel and you got wet. enthusiastic cry to god the supreme father
or the supreme enemy whatever you like. So, you it has to be the tone has to be like that
oh god your lips up to be rounded oh god my god next
Who will do next? What is your name?
Please...
What alone?
Oh no, common this kind of expression
What a lovely!
What is your name? Raise your hands. ya What is your name?
Jadhav.
Jadhav
What a lovely rose!
Next, common please, are you are you afraid of making mistakes? Remember, one oldest about
knowledge and learning nobody. You have not learnt anything unless he or she is ready
to make mistakes, and ready to accept it for do not make the same mistake again. There
is nothing that we have learnt without making mistakes. Do you remember, when you begin
eating your milk and rice, I was there. The first day, when you began eating your milk
and rice, it went in every hole except your mouth; it went into every hole; your ears,
your eyes, your nose except into your mouth. But today you keep talking on the phone yes
I am a studying and you keep eating right. So, practice. Do not be afraid of making mistakes?
Common, next you will do that sentence.
What dirty weather?
Not a first rose. Lets first get rose; the second line there.
What a lovely rose!
Oh god! You guys are, you know have do not you watch good films in the OYT.
What s your name?
What a lovely rose!
Your name?
No. The young friend behind you,
What a lovely rose!
Dinesh .
What a lovely rose!
You know the ordinarily speak. It can said in all possible ways as you have said, but
ordinarily speaking. The you know the most important here is, what what a lovely rose.
You know the real joy in your you know voice. What a lovely rose, and the what thing is
to be over all emphasised.
Common. Do it.
What a lovely rose!
No is like you are running away from the class, laugh.
Go slowly; you are giving rose to a good friend not necessarily in the other gender. common.
Say it again
What a lovely rose!
Take time, what a lovely rose!
What a lovely rose!
This is tone. You know, you have to learn these little basic things. Next next line?
Who will do that? who will do that?
What dirty weather.
What dirty weather? You know stress. Then, what dirty weather? Come again, please what
is your name.
Saurav, come again.
What dirty weather!
Yeah what dirty weather! Next line. What a pity!
Next line, somebody.
Ah I am sir. I am Karthik. What a pity!
Ya what you know stress? what what a pity! Next is it is a.
Who will like to read it aloud? What is your name?
Gokul, sir.
Ya Gokul come on.
John is honest, but lazy.
Yeah can you some make more variations?
John is honest, but lazy.
Yeah John is honest, but lazy. But lazy. What would you like John is lazy? But honest, what
would you prefer? Please call.
Lazy, but honest or honest, but lazy
Honest, but lazy.
How many people would prefer honest, but lazy? And how many people would prefer lazy, but
honest? right You see these are the nuances next line.
Is that, the name of a boy or a girl?
Girl.
Yeah, a girl. An English girl. you know I should have take in Mary, but I forget to
add r there. But is still her name; the name of a girl. So, what is it? Can you read it
loud? May dishonest make it disgusting May is efficient, but dishonest because it Ashwini
is efficient, but dishonest pardon me right you know your tone is extremely important
to a spoken language computed; there has been lot of engineering in computer science and
engineering to produce to make machines produce naturally speech. And believe me, they produce
naturally speech. The only problem for them is, they cannot bring intonation they cannot
bring a variety of tones. Someday I will take it to the speech laboratory of the computer
science department, and I will ask my colleagues to play some conversation to you believe me
the computer can talk like you and me, except that they are the same metallic tone. The
train is coming on time from Vijayawada. passenger, please wait know. Where as, I get excited
hey the train is arriving now, please come the machine cannot get that kind of tone
There are many other things that make a spoken English different form written English. As
we go on, we will pick up these things; these things are basically you know go to speaker
as a sound commonsense; these things apart of common sense, you do not really have to
learn anything which is very highly technical or quantitative or difficult. We have to bring
you commonsense into play, say for example, if you relatively if you the everything else
being equal do you think slow speaker will be better heard or rapid speaker will be better
heard; obviously, slow speaker will be better heard. So, I am going to over emphasise slow
speech on this course. Tomorrow aan we talk about tomorrow? Yes, tomorrow I am going to
ask you to speak about yourself everybody; you will have 50 seconds only. Please prepare.
You may ask me 50 seconds hardly any time what can I say in 50 seconds you can a speak
at least.
Are you with me
Yes sir.
You can speak at least three 100 words in 50 seconds. If you a speak the way I am a
speaking; now, if you speak more rapidly, then it can be much more, do not do that speak
about 6 to 7 words for a second. Slowly with pauses, with proper tone and then tell us
something about yourself. What can you tell us? Your name, your hall number, hostel and
room number; that will take fifteen seconds. Then do not tell me your JEE rank I am sick
and tired. JEE rank was because of Agarwal or other coaching; tell me something about
who you are, something which speaks about you as the person your hobby s your ambition,
your dream. The kind of do not tell me silly or dirty jokes, but tell me something relevant
about yourself, something important about yourself. What, how do you, when you have
free time what you like to do? A large number of people like to sleep on their free time?
Some other people chat on phone or mail. How many of them go to library during free hour?
Are you that kind? You know, not be that kind and it is not that everyone who goes to the
library is a great angel and those that do not go they are devils, but each person here
has a different concept of a spending free time. So, tell me about you can bring a photograph,
if you like you can bring your slides, if it is possible we will upload them here. If
you can give them to my friends, I have some friends, I will tell you about them. If you
can give it to them, they will upload it before you come and then tomorrow each of you will
have to speak for 50 seconds; I will make notes; I will call you one by one. And then
I will give you feedback later. So, just of few things about to yourself. Who you are?
Where you come from? How you spend your free time? What are your dreams? What are your
hobbies? What are your problems? Some failures from which you learnt, some successes from
which you learnt, but not everything, you cannot speak about everything. Pickup what
is interesting about you? And you will have a great 50 second presentation. If possible
rehearse before you speak here tomorrow; you have any questions, you can also bring up
to two slides. I will see it; we can upload it and because the class tomorrow is at eight
o clock I am not sure how we can upload it. But let us see prepare it and contact me this
evening. I will contact my friends in the studio here and if they can upload it that
will be great. But even if you do not have the slides, it really does not matter. Your
will be picked up by the camera and my friends in other countries in other colleges will
admire your lovely teeth which is not bad right. Do you have any questions before I
stop I will like to summaries this course has a very simple objective. It wants to teach
you; it wants to help you acquire number one; presentation skills number two; public speaking
