Students are practically introduced to basic aspects of drama pedagogy, phonation, voice coaching, and to simplified concepts of target language (TL) prosody.
Students are thoroughly familiarised with what is a successful spoken performance. For this class, a format piloted by Anke Stöver-Blahak at the University of Hanover in Germany has been adapted to the Japanese teaching context. At Aichi Prefectural University a special class has been developed in order to tackle this problem. Too often, student recitals are delivered either in a monotonous fashion with too little attention being paid to segmental phonology and prosody, or highlighting measures like pitch or volume are overused or inappropriately applied.
However, preparations often neglect important aspects of a good delivery. Speech and recital contests are not rare in the language learning landscape of Japan and elsewhere.
