The purpose of this book is to explore "inner speech" and its connections to second language (L2) learning. Inner speech, or silent self-directed speaking, enables the faculty to "think" words and is the main instrument for verbal thought. Inner speech originates in first language (L1) social discourse and develops in childhood through a process of internalization.
Speech processing addresses various scientific and technological areas. It includes speech analysis and variable rate coding, in order to store or transmit speech. It also covers speech synthesis, especially from text, speech recognition, including speaker and language identification, and spoken language understanding.

Getting Ready For Speech was a finalist in the Independent Publisher book awards of 2002. It features a wide variety of sample speeches; it includes storytelling, show and tell, and movie and book reviews; it is perfect practice for high school speech contests; it carefully controls grammar and vocabulary and recycles them again and again. "Getting Ready for Speech" is much more than the lowest level speech book on the market. Using a new approach, each unit develops both language skills and speech skills. Each unit introduces grammar, vocabulary, and listening skills along with speech delivery and organizational skills. Every unit features a different type of speech.
