Highlights
In the modern context of the information society, rhetorical knowledge and public speaking skills play a significant role in the professional work of the teacher
Not without reason Cicero (1895) once said: "There are two occupations which can place men in the highest rank of dignity; one, that of a general the other, that of an accomplished orator." The teacher is a general who leads war against ignorance and inability, a leader who leads students into the world of boundless knowledge, a sculptor who hews away everything unnecessary and useless, an artist who paints a path to the ocean of professionalism, a guide who shows the path to self-improvement, personal and professional development, a psychotherapist who skillfully helps the listener to overcome learning difficulties, and the speaker, who builds effective interaction with the audience, paves the way to the hearts of listeners, influences their mind and feelings
Without the knowledge of rhetoric and excellent public speaking skills, the teacher will not be able to achieve a high level in professional and pedagogical activity, effective results in the educational process, presentation of scientific achievements, because interaction with the audience is the central link in his activity
