Abstract

This study aims to support the work of students preparing for rhetoric contests and that of teachers
preparing them. Oral presentation has become a common practice since the beginning of the 20th
century. High quality and logical language use does not only go together with traditional speaking
sessions, but the repository of persuasion can be used in all areas of public life. Rhetoric is one
of the taught subjects in secondary school since 1995 and in relation to this, the rhetoric contest has come to life. The study briefly discusses elocution techniques, then it introduces supra-
segmental devices in detail to show how they serve the ideas and the emotional and mood display of the whole text. Public speaking is a complex task; therefore, the study also mentions other
components, such as non-verbal signs. The aim: Speech should not only be intelligible, but also
persuasive and diverse, even beautiful.
