Abstract

Depending upon numerous situations people vary the tempo of their speech. If we want the information to fully and completely, without being distorted, reach the addressee, special attention should be paid to the correct application of it. In this respect, great importance is attached to lectures which directly deal with spoken communication. Through lectures, it becomes possible to show how vital the role of the speech tempo is in transferring and perceiving the information.
