An Investigation Of The Relationships Among Various Language Skills Of Freshman English Students At South Dakota State College, Paul A. Elsner Jan 1959

An Investigation Of The Relationships Among Various Language Skills Of Freshman English Students At South Dakota State College, Paul A. Elsner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The primary objective of this study would be to determine the interrelationships of various language skills. For example, if one skill is more highly related at all others, we might suppose that is could be used as a “core” or pivotal area around which others would be taught. The minor objective of this study would be determine the degree of improvement among students in several skill areas. How much improvement was made? And in what areas did the students improve? However, it would probably be beyond the purpose of this study to offer adequate appraisals of the program.

Report Of Progress Toward The Experimental Development Of An Elementary Evaluative Listening Test, Dorothy Ardythe West Feb 1958

Report Of Progress Toward The Experimental Development Of An Elementary Evaluative Listening Test, Dorothy Ardythe West

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Our system of education must teach its students to recognize persuasion for what it is worth, to distinguish shades of meaning, to identify the hypocrisy of the demagogue and the flattery of the bootlicker. Because communication is so important in a representative government, some consideration should be given to the four overt communication skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Until very recent years, practically no emphasis has been placed up on the skill of listening in the school room. The writer hypothesizes that a test of evaluative listening skills could be used as a helpful training device to each students …


A Study On Turkish Highways, Orhan Tasangil Feb 1958

A Study On Turkish Highways, Orhan Tasangil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the time of the Seljuk Turks and the Ottoman Empire, the majority of the roads were built for the purpose of the major military campaigns. Later, the discovery of the ocean rout via the Cape of Good Hope caused the old caravan routes to be neglected; and consequently, the roads of Turkey were allowed to deteriorate. With the development of express highways and modern commercial vehicles, Turkey has now entered an era in which road transport is again in a position to compete even with sea transportation. Turkey, therefore, will play once again an important part internationally and this …


The Feasibility Of Organizing A Federation Of Egg Marketing Cooperatives In Eastern South Dakota, Walter R. Swanson Feb 1958

The Feasibility Of Organizing A Federation Of Egg Marketing Cooperatives In Eastern South Dakota, Walter R. Swanson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Several egg marketing groups in the Midwest have become increasingly aware of the need for greater efficiency. These marketing agencies have attempted to eliminate the several middlemen in the channel between local levels and the distant markets. Basically this development is an attempt to reduce the marketing costs and quality loss resulting from excessive handling. It has not been possible for every marketing agency to capitalize on this development. Only those agencies capable of providing large volumes of eggs and diversified marketing services have succeeded. This development has been of interest to the larger marketing agencies in South Dakota. Recently, …


A Bibliography Of Studies In Oral Reading, With Annotations Of Studies In The Teaching Of Artistic Oral Reading In College, Jeanne Phyllis Grove Jan 1958

A Bibliography Of Studies In Oral Reading, With Annotations Of Studies In The Teaching Of Artistic Oral Reading In College, Jeanne Phyllis Grove

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Educators and oral readers have differed on what should be included in a course of study for oral reading. The student of oral reading must examine the field and try to formulate his own philosophy. In so doing he finds that some studies of oral reading have stressed different schools of thought. Others have discussed specific problems in the field, compiled philosophies and methods of leading writers and teachers, or studied textbooks used in oral reading. These investigations offer a means for students and teachers to note the trends in the study and philosophy of oral reading, including the specialized …

The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of secondary school students studying vocational agriculture. As part of its course of instruction, FFA offers a section on parliamentary procedure. The purpose of this study is to …

A Study Of The Principles Of Technical Direction And Their Application To The Production Of Sophocles' Play Oedipus Rex, Sherill Sandra Price

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to help inform students of theatre about some of the considerations necessary in coordinating and directing technical areas of play production. It is the purpose of a college curriculum in drama to inform the students about all areas of theatre work; the technical work comes under the jurisdiction of the technical director. Consequently, this thesis in technical direction can serve as an instructional device for students in educational theatre by including the following: (1) definition (by enumeration) of the technical areas of play production; (2) explanation of some general considerations in each technical area, …


An Experimental Study To Determine The Effect Of A Speech Of Introduction Upon The Persuasive Speech That Followed, Barbara Kersten Jan 1958

An Experimental Study To Determine The Effect Of A Speech Of Introduction Upon The Persuasive Speech That Followed, Barbara Kersten

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Basic textbooks in the area of public speaking frequently contain information concerning the importance of speeches of introduction. The authors consulted recommend that to achieve these purposes a speech of introduction should focus attention on the speaker without containing personal comments about the introducer, should focus attention on the subject without discussing it, and should build the speaker’s prestige without embarrassing him by over-praise. Despite this agreement among authors, there appears to be not direct experimental evidence to support the assumption that the effectiveness of a persuasive speech is influenced by the speech of introduction which precedes the communication. However, …
