Abstract
Abstract When facing an audience instead of a single listener, students of public speaking encounter challenges that stem from differences in space. A larger space results in greater distance from the audience, and the need to fill a large room requires adaptation of posture, volume, dialogical elements, etc. When speaking online, however, there is no common space that is shared with the audience. The speaker addresses the listeners, wherever they are, from his or her own place. The main task is to connect these two or more separate spaces. This paper shows how this can be achieved using the verbal and visual tools available to teachers, bloggers and other non-professional speakers. It will be shown that spaces can only be connected if the speaker’s room is carefully designed, and details of the communication process cannot be misinterpreted.
