INTRODUCTION
English is the international language. Nearly 120 countries speak English. It is the largest spoken language. It is an ever enriching language. In an average 10 to 15 new  words join English every day.  The largest spoken word of a nation from any where in the world is taken into English. There are more than 10,00,000 words in English today.
Eg. Jaya Ho – Hindi,           ab initio – French hyper – Greek
Vowel is defined as voiced sound in the production of which the air stream passes over the centre of the tongue without audible friction in the mouth. The position of the lips and the  height of the tongue plays major role in the production of vowels.
There are 20 distinct vowels in British Received pronunciation. The 20 vowel are subdivided into
1.       pure vowel [monophthongs]             and
2.       diphthongs.
Monophthongs are further divided into
1.       short vowels
2.       long vowels

As technology is developing, English is also transforming. It has become a language of survival today. Globalisation is possible just because of English.
 English words have become a part of our own mother tongues.
Eg. Cell, time, pen, bus, train, car,
English, once a literary oriented language, is today’s language of technology .
English gives more priority to the pronunciation of a word.

7]       Accent
In linguistics, an accent is a manner of pronunciation peculiar to a particular individual, location, or nation.[1] An accent may identify the locality in which its speakers reside (a geographical or regional accent), the socio-economic status of its speakers, their ethnicity, their caste or social class, their first language and so on.[2] Accents typically differ in quality of voice, pronunciation of vowels and consonants, stress, and prosody. Although grammar, semantics, vocabulary, and other language characteristics often vary concurrently with accent, the word 'accent' refers specifically to the differences in pronunciation, whereas the word 'dialect' encompasses the broader set of linguistic differences. Often 'accent' is a subset of 'dialect'.[1]
Accents seem to remain relatively malleable until a person's early twenties, after which a person's accent seems to become more entrenched.[5]
Pronunciation is the most difficult part of a non-native language to learn. Most individuals who speak a non-native language fluently speak it with an accent of their native tongue.
Teaching of speech/pronunciation is neglected in part because of the following myths:
  • Pronunciation isn't important: "This is patently false from any perspective." Speech/Pronunciation forms the vehicle for transmitting the speaker's meaning. If the listener does not understand the message, no communication takes place, and although there are other factors involved, one of the most important is the intelligibility of the speaker's pronunciation.
  • Students will pick it up on their own: "Some will learn to pronounce the second language intelligibly; many will not."
Even when the listener does understand the speaker, the presence of an accent that is difficult to understand can produce anxiety in the listener that he will not understand what comes next, and cause him to end the conversation earlier or avoid difficult topics.
Discrimination refers to specific behaviors or actions directed at a group or its individual members based solely on the group membership. In accent discrimination, one's way of speaking is used as a basis for arbitrary evaluations and judgments. Unlike other forms of discrimination, there are no strong norms against accent discrimination in the general society.
Accent serves as the first point of gate keeping because we are forbidden, by law and social custom, and perhaps by a prevailing sense of what is morally and ethically right, from using race, ethnicity, homeland or economics more directly.
Speakers with accents often experience discrimination in housing and employment. For example, landlords are less likely to call back speakers who have foreign or ethnic accents
Accent discrimination is also present in educational institutions. For example, non-native speaking graduate students, lecturers, and professors, across college campuses in the US have been target for being unintelligible because of accent.                  
                       
8]      Intonation
            All languages use pitch pragmatically, that is, as intonation, for instance for emphasis, to convey surprise or irony, or to pose a question. Tonal languages such as Chinese and Hausa use pitch to distinguish words in addition to intonation.
Generally speaking, we can identify the following intonations:
  • Rising Intonation means the pitch of the voice increases over time [↗];
  • Falling Intonation means that the pitch decreases with time [↘];
  • Dipping Intonation falls and then rises [↘↗];
  • Peaking Intonation rises and then falls [↗↘].

11]    Role Play        
Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role.
the term is used more loosely in four senses:
  • To refer to the playing of roles generally such as in a theatre, or educational setting;
  • To refer to taking a role of an existing character or person and acting it out with a partner taking someone else's role, often involving different genres of practice;
  • To refer to a wide range of games including role-playing video game, play-by-mail games and more;
  • To refer specifically to role-playing games.
Role-playing may also refer to role training where people rehearse situations in preparation for a future performance and to improve their abilities within a role. The most common examples are occupational training role-plays, educational role-play exercises, and certain military war-games.
One of the first uses of computers was to simulate reality around its participants in order to role-play the flying of aircraft.
Role-playing can also be done online in the form of group story creation,  utilizing public forums, private message-boards, mailing lists, chat-rooms, and instant-messaging chat clients to build worlds and characters that may last a few hours, or several years.
Books, movies or games can be, and often are, used as a basis for role-plays.
People can play the role of a cricketer, an actor, or anybody of their liking or hatred.




12]    Public Speaking  
Public speaking is the process of speaking to a group of people in a structured, deliberate manner intended to inform, influence, or entertain the listeners. It is closely allied to "presenting", although the latter has more of a commercial connotation.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Rajagopal_speaking_to_25%2C000_people%2C_Janadesh_2007%2C_India.jpg/220px-Rajagopal_speaking_to_25%2C000_people%2C_Janadesh_2007%2C_India.jpg
In public speaking, as in any form of communication, there are five basic elements, often expressed as "who is saying what to whom using what medium with what effects?"
The purpose of public speaking can range from simply transmitting information, to motivating people to act, to simply telling a story. Good orators should be able to change the emotions of their listeners, not just inform them.
 Public speaking can also be considered a discourse community. Interpersonal communication.
Public speaking has several components that embrace such things as motivational speaking, leadership/personal development, business, customer service, large group communication, and mass communication.
Public speaking can be a powerful tool to use for purposes such as motivation, influence, persuasion, informing, translation, or simply entertaining.
A confident speaker is more likely to use this as excitement and create effective speech thus increasing their overall ethos.
The art of public speaking was first developed by the ancient Greeks.
Abraham Lincoln, Adolf Hitler, Churchill, Marcus Garvey, John F. Kennedy, and Bill Clinton have all advanced their careers in large part due to their skills in oratory.
Effective public speaking can be developed by joining a club or institution.
Members learn by observation and practice, and hone their skills by listening to constructive suggestions followed by new public speaking exercises. These include:
The Public Address events include Informative Speaking, Persuasive Speaking, Rhetorical Criticism, and After Dinner Speaking;
 The objectives of a public speaker's presentation can range from simply transmitting information, to motivating people to act, to simply telling a story.
Professional public speakers often engage in ongoing training and education to refine their craft.
The common fear of public speaking is called glossophobia (or, informally, "stage fright").
Language and rhetoric use are among two of the most important aspects of public speaking and interpersonal communication.

13]    Debate    
Debate or debating is a normal method of interactive and representational argument.
Debate is a broader form of argument than logical argument, which only examines consistency from axiom, and factual argument, which only examines what is or isn't the case or rhetoric which is a
Though logical consistency, factual accuracy and some degree of emotional appeal to the audience are important elements of the art of persuasion, in debating,
In a formal debating contest, there are rules for people to discuss and decide on differences, within a framework defining how they will interact.
Informal debate is a common occurrence, the quality and depth of a debate improves with knowledge and skill of its participants as debaters.
Deliberative bodies such as parliaments, legislative assemblies, and meetings of all sorts engage in debates. The outcome of a debate may be decided by audience vote, by judges, or by some combination of the two.
Formal debates between candidates for elected office, such as the leaders debates and the U.S. presidential election debates, are common in democracies.
Debates are sometime organized for purely competitive purposes, particularly at the  high-school level, or college level.
Competitive debate is an organized to argue with other teams, competing at the local, national, and international level.
In schools and colleges, often, it takes the form of a contest with explicit rules. It may be presided over by one or more judges.
Each side seeks to win, by following the rules, and even by using some rules to break other rules, within limits.
Each side is either in favor or opposed to a statement,
Extemporaneous debate
Extemporaneous debate is a style that involves no planning in advance, and two teams with a first and second speaker.
While a majority of judges will allow debaters to cite current events and various statistics
Each of these speeches is six minutes in length, and is followed by two minutes of cross examination. There is then an affirmative and negative first-speaker rebuttal, and a negative and affirmative second-speaker rebuttal, respectively. These speeches are each four minutes long. No new points can be brought into the debate during the rebuttals.
Impromptu debate
Impromptu debate is a relatively informal style of debate, when compared to other highly structured formats. The topic for the debate is given to the participants between fifteen and twenty minutes before the debate starts.
Paris Style Debating
This is a new, specifically French format. Two teams of five debate on a given motion. One side is supposed to defend the motion while the other must defeat it. The debate is judged on the quality of the arguments, the strength of the rhetoric, the charisma of the speaker, the quality of the humor, the ability to think on one's feet and, of course, the teamwork.
U.S. presidential debates
Since the 1976 general election, debates between presidential candidates have been a part of U.S. presidential campaigns.
in a campaign season heavily dominated by television advertisements, talk radio, sound bites, and spin, they still offer a rare opportunity for citizens to see and hear the major candidates side-by-side.

The various types of other debates are
Debate Strategies,              Moral High Ground,         Parliamentary (Parli) debate,        Mace Debate,       Jes Debate, Public Debate,                Policy debate,      Online debating,                 Lincoln-Douglas debate,                  Classic debate,

17]    e- Correspondence

Electronic mail, commonly called email or e-mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages across the Internet or other computer networks.
1]  It is cheaper and faster than a letter.
2] It does not shout its arrival like a telephone call.
3] It does not command its exclusive attention.
4] It less hassles than a fax message.
5] Differences in locations, time zones, etc. are not obstacles.
6] It is the highest speed of communication and information transfer.
7] It is virtual and instantaneous.
8] A single message can be sent to hundreds simultaneously.
9] Other files can be attached to this.
There is no privacy to Email.
Without some security precautions, it can be compromised because:
1] email messages are generally not encrypted.
2] email messages have to go through intermediate computers before reaching their destination, meaning it is relatively easy for others to intercept and read messages.
3] many Internet Service Providers (ISP) store copies of email messages on their mail servers before they are delivered. The backups of these can remain for up to several months on their server, despite deletion from the mailbox.
4] The "Received:"-fields and other information in the email can often identify the sender, preventing anonymous communication.
Originally, email was transmitted directly from one user to another computer. This required both computers to be online at the same time, an instant messaging.
Today's email systems are based on a store-and-forward model. Email servers accept, forward, deliver and store messages. Users no longer need be online simultaneously and need only connect briefly, typically to an email server, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.
An email message consists of two components, the message header, and the message body, which is the email's content.
Originally a text-only communications medium, email was extended to carry multi-media content attachments, a process standardized in RFC 2045 through 2049. Collectively, these RFCs have come to be called Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME).
e-mail is a form recommended by some prominent journalistic and technical style guides. Electronic mail predates the inception of the Internet, and was in fact a crucial tool in creating it. This new ability encouraged users to share information in new ways.
Email started in 1965. From the early 1980s, networked personal computers on LANs became increasingly important. Server-based systems similar to the earlier mainframe systems were developed.
Internet email messages consist of two major sections:
·         Header — Structured into fields such as summary, sender, receiver, and other information about the email.
·         Body — The message itself as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. This is exactly the same as the body of a regular letter.
In business
·                    Email was widely accepted by the business community as the first broad electronic communication medium and was the first ‘e-revolution’ in business communication.
·                    Email is very simple to understand.
·                    Like postal mail, email solves two basic problems of communication: logistics and synchronization .
·                    LAN based email is also an emerging form of usage for business. It not only allows the business user to download mail when offline, it also provides the small business user to have multiple users email ID's with just one email connection.
