The first place one is taught is at home. Most toddlers know their ABCs, when to say “please”,Wholesale Jerseys USA, “thank you” and “excuse me” and how to introduce themselves even before entering into the school world. Further, in the world of school, children are taught letter sounds, how to merge those sounds to form words, the correct pronunciation of words and the essentials of grammar. In addition, one is taught the social ‘DOs’ and ‘DON’Ts’  and also experiences firsthand how good relationships are fostered and maintained when dealing with teachers and fellow students.One would expect that the values and lessons taught at home and at school are intended to create an adult who is geared to take on the world and would be capable of being tomorrow’s leaders. Granted, the learning process is a never ending one. However, learning involves taking steps forward and not backward.Conversely, though, there seems to be a pressing need to reiterate to some potential leaders what should have been grasped at the school level or even at the university level. There are reports that university graduates are not doing justice to society because of poor communication.There are cases where errors are passed on by the media or persons who ought to have known better. But there are still cases where errors in English are voiced due to mere ignorance.For example, the common difficulty one has with ensuring that their subject and verb agrees; incorrect use of tenses; the inability to determine which tense is to be used on occasions; incorrect placement of prepositions, to mention a few.Also, the use of creolese is a rather pressing case. It is understood that creolese adds colour and creates emphasis to what is being said. Hence it is perfectly accepted when a speaker uses creolese intentionally to underline a certain point.However, the unintentional use of the dialect is what is especially worrying, where one uses it when Standard English is required without being aware of the error. Also, error in the pronunciation of words is quite prevalent where ‘wardrobe’ sounds like ‘waldrove’; ‘violent’ sounds like ‘voilent’; ‘film’ is made to be ‘flim’; ‘three’ sounds like ‘tree’; ‘they’ like ‘day’; ‘there’ like ‘dare’ and the list goes on.The members of Rotary Club of Georgetown have taken it upon themselves to improve among young people their communication skills, which extend to their use of language, by hosting a two day public speaking workshop.Marilyne Trotz, a devoted Rotarian and a vigilant supporter of the workshop calls it “the embryo of a leadership programme aimed at helping participants to prepare for assuming the role of leadership”.The workshop, at this time, facilitates the training of 40 Rotarians to “speak for success”. Emphasis is placed on correct pronunciation and grammar; speaking with confidence, vocal clarity and poise and improving social interaction skills and behavioural modes.The opportunity is also provided for the participants to practice the guidelines that are given.Also an area where young professionals need improvement in is their sense of appropriate dress for the occasion and social etiquette. They should be able to discern between what is worn to a lime as against what is worn to a formal occasion and how to choose wisely between the two.The workshop continues this Saturday with its aim to promote high ethical standards in the pursuit of a better community.
