Class Control  and Audience management 

Principles of conducting Standard Examination 

Register for Cambridge A level examinations 

Structured address and public talk  are different from market discussion that has no ethic or formality for delivery .

It also involves audience  management and control which is a major point in classroom teaching and public talk .
       Let us look into  some factors and their influence  audience control management :
1. Communication prowess : To communicate  has been seen literarily as " to hear" however , it is more than that . When message cannot be decoded  for easy understanding ,it is believed that a person is not communicating. Therefore ,a speaker must be  fairly fluent ,give understandable code and level relative to his audience.  eg speaking in native is the best ,if possible when talking to  local illiterates .This give  control over the  listeners .Grammar blowing often lead to boredom for some people . This  use of simple ,correct and understandable expression is enhances understanding 

2. Intellectual prowess: According to Wayne Dyer "you cannot give what you don't have ". Thus a person must be learned and versed in the area he talks on. No island of knowledge, reach out to people  ,it is better to fail among your colleagues and companies than be disgraced publicly . Develop yourself ,read wide,research before climbing the pulpit.

A speaker that has nothing to give cannot gain  the audience  respect .Lack of substance breed lack of audience respect. This leads to lack of  audience attention and loss of  control .
3. Operational ethics ..Where there is no law no offence. Thus discipline may not be enforceable. .Every organised human gathering must be guided with a line of policy or rules of engagement. In a classroom setting,this can be set out as rules that goes with punishment .However in public address ,It should be  itemised in a persuasive manner as not to brew tension especially when dealing with aged and calibered in the society .However  when the process or agenda of a public talk is well spelt out and shared  such as  question time,recess time and so on .This brings decorum .
4. Environmental influence : Conducive atmosphere is paramount for both the speaker and the listeners in order to enhance audience control, good delivery and listeners comprehension.. Ventilated and accommodating environment, freedom from danger in term of
 Human danger  eg hooligans  and touts .  Furnitures and fittings , electricals such as lighting ,fans and air conditioner are necessities 
 to give sense of peace to the participants and  enhance calmness, better audience management and control.

5. Confidence and charisma:  This may be easier to develop when teaching in a classroom setting . However ,it  is difficult to uphold in public talk especially when dealing with pool of learned    the rich and elites   .Thus, it is advisable as a guest speaker to research about your expected audience ,the calibre of audience ,their background and experience and so on .This is a vital  tool for confidence building for effective public address , audience management and control.

6. Organization: 

This has to do with the level of readiness of the tutor .In conventional classroom teaching ,it is called lesson note preparation .This helps in arrangement of topics and subtopics for good delivery. Likewise in public talk, organisation and proper arrangement of materials is key .This is in form of :
 ( a) Talk rehearsal:  A presenter should  ruminate over materials needed and content of talk having done research on needs of his expected audience and the topical issues.         
( b) Introduction strategy: This is very important as you may get it wrong if your entry point is faulty and uninspiring. Perfect your entry mechanism ; humour, frankness, bitter or sweet talk etc with moderation.

 (c) Content presentation: This entails logical and orderly  arrangement of subtopics and points during presentation . Gestures , mimicking , interfacing , feedback etc .All these help you to keep the listeners and have good audience control   
(d) Conclusion : This is the closing remarks of a speaker. Good sign out makes the audience to look forward to another day from the speaker.
