m. cestnik ■ experiences in teaching rhetoric as an elective course ...
It would be a good idea to create a network of teachers of rhetoric and pro-
vide professional guidance in order to achieve that.
It should be added that new literature is always welcome. The text-
book published in 2006 and has proved to be a textbook suitable for
teachers of rhetoric, but not that useful for pupils. We certainly need a di-
dactic manual for teaching rhetoric and perhaps some other materials that
will help teachers teach argumentation in primary school along with pub-
lic speaking exercises.
Many years of experience show that pupils are eager to progress as
speakers and are often encouraged by their parents who were unable to
receive such education. Pupils (mostly unsystematically) develop their
speaking abilities in other subjects. This is why it is the task of rhetoric
and teachers of rhetoric to vertically connect the teachers at the school in
the development of this competence. And when pupils reach the 9th grade,
they can develop more complex mental processes and learn to speak with
strong arguments.
Long-term experience of teaching rhetoric and working with other
teachers allows me to say with certainty that rhetoric has a bright future
as an elective course in primary school.
