"This text has been written especially for college students, with particular concentration on their specific speech needs and weaknesses. Throughout its preparation and presentation, the objective has been foremost: to present, in the most simplifies form possible, the fundamental features of speech so that the college students may develop their speaking abilities in their desire to become effective communicators. The text is divided into two parts. Part I deals with the basic principles underlying the production of speech sounds through an understanding and the mastery of rhythm, stress, intonation, blending, and phrasing. Part II is focused on the application of what they have understood and mastered in the previous lessons. It is a working level where the students are expected to engage in various speech situations that vary from individual types of speeches to small group interactions." --
