Retorik och talängslan i skolan : Hur hjälper lärare elever att tala i klassrummet?

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to find out more about how language teachers can improve and change the teaching of rhetoric with focus on communication apprehension. The study aims primarily at teachers in the Swedish subject and teaching in rhetoric. Aspects on the subject being addressed are: How rhetoric teaching can be made more easy and systematic, how it can be improved and how Swedish teachers more actively can help students with communication apprehension orally in the ordinary teaching activity. This work can and should be read with a focus on, an increasing extent, integrating students with communication apprehension into oral classroom activities.  Quality interviews were conducted to collect data and fulfill the study. These interviews were conducted with qualified graduate teachers and upper secondary school teachers, all with both qualifications and teaching in the subject Swedish or Swedish as a second language. The choice were made on these individuals just because most of the rhetoric in the course and subject curriculum in Swedish school is found in the language subjects, in particular the Swedish subject. For the interested reader, this study's interview questions are attached under "Appendix 1", at the bottom of this essay.  The hypothesis that existed at the beginning of the work was that a lot of oral rhetorical training in various forms would help the students, especially the ones with communication apprehension, to become more rhetoric talented; better and more common speakers.
