Zusatztext As an instructor for Oral Interpretation of Literature courses! I find Routledge's publication of the Oral Interpretation text an outstanding resource. While the text guides those new to oral interpretation! I have seen growth with students at various levels of experience with oral interpretation practices. I also teach acting courses and love how techniques relate very well to similar performance styles. I highly recommend this book.-Keone K. Fuqua! William Carey University!
