Requirements for a teacher's speech
The culture of human speech has always been given a lot of attention. This is not
accidental. Since it indicates his erudition, intelligence, ethics, education.
Mastery of speech culture is success in society, authority, perspective, promotion
at work. And who but a teacher is obliged to master the culture of speech.
The specificity of the teaching profession is in the constant active contact with
other people. The work of the teacher is aimed at the formation of the personality
of the student, the development of certain rules of behaviour, intellectual
development. The teacher must have not only psychological, special knowledge,
but also professional communication skills.
Both the culture of communication and the culture of speech ensure the
achievement of the goal of communication by the most effective means. For this
purpose, not only a teacher, but also every civil servant, and in general a modern
person, needs to master at least the most important rhetorical skills, on the one
hand, and on the other hand, to avoid communicative failures associated with
violations of etiquette, as well as with ignoring the differences between oral and
written forms of speech, vagueness, carelessness of speech.
Speech culture is a business card of a person, with all the subject erudition, the
absence or lack of genuine speech culture can be not only the cause of important
professional mistakes, but also a factor of stable personal rejection of a person.
As a consequence, irritability and reactive thinking in general may increase, and
the interlocutor "does not fit" into the dialogue scheme of the lesson and feels
indifference to what is being presented or even intuitive rejection of it.
A high level of speech culture is an indispensable feature of a cultured person. It
is the task of each of us to improve our speech. To do this, you need to monitor
your speech to avoid making mistakes in pronunciation, in the use of word forms,
in the construction of sentences. We should constantly enrich our vocabulary,
learn to feel our interlocutor, be able to choose the most appropriate words and
constructions for each case.
The topic "Speech culture of a teacher" is broad and multidimensional. First of
all, speech is social in its essence. Its main function is to be a means, an instrument
of human communication. On the basis of this function and in connection with it
other functions are carried out by speech - impact, message, formation and
expression of thought. These functions are also social.
We can say that society has such speech as society has created, and uses speech
as it can and can. The influence of speech on society increases with the
development of society itself - this influence increases with the development of
production, technology, science, culture and the state. Speech participates in the
organisation of work, in the management of social production, the activities of
the institution, in the implementation of the process of education and upbringing
of the members of society, in the development of literature and science.
Society affects speech, but speech, in turn, affects society, participating in various
spheres of life and activities of people.
Mastering the art of communication is necessary for every person regardless of
what kind of activity he/she is or will be engaged in, as the level and quality of
his/her communication determines success in personal, industrial and social
spheres of life.
In conclusion, it should be said that it is important to realise that with children of
different ages it is necessary to have different tactics of conversation. We cannot
afford to talk to a third and an eighth grade student in the same way. It is important
to remember that it is the ability to get students interested in themselves and their
subject that leads to a full dialogue.
Children's psyche is the most precious thing that a teacher has, he must protect it,
and accordingly, to watch what grain he sows in the unformed souls of students.
This is the task of a real teacher.
