Next, he would sell the benefit and paint pictures. The transformation of education, energy, and health care are always mentioned in his speeches. Then, another move is inviting participation. For instance, in his victory speech, Obama would say “this is your victory”; not “this is my victory” (Obama, 2008b). Also, he said” yes, we can”, not “yes, I can” (Obama, 2008b). Thus, the more participation audience are involved, the more support a speaker obtains.
Since Obama is a good presenter and know how to make each word work to move people’s mind, the speeches he delivered could be not only inspirational but also meaningful resources for learners to obtain better language ability or new skills.
Conclusion
To conclude, even though relevant research about Obama’s address still needs more examinations, it nonetheless appears that it could be meaningful and functional in many aspects. Zamel and Spack (1998) have argued that “it is no longer possible to assume that there is one type of literacy in the academy. Academic literacy... now must embrace multiple approaches to knowledge” (p. ix). Thus, it is obviously impractical to have only one culture in the university whose standards and conventions simply have to be learnt for the pupils to achieve academic accomplishment. While new academic areas emerge continuously, more innovative study about genre and relevant theories could contribute to more theoretical and pedagogical implications. The aspiration could be seen in Paltridge’s (2004a) article that ”we, as researchers, need to work to make these complexities as visible as possible to our students as well as help our students understand how they can negotiate academic conventions and academic boundaries in ways which help them achieve their goals, yet maintain their academic voices and identities” (p. 101). Genre-based research of Obama’s pubic speaking could be one of the inspiring methods to acquire second language while an important area for further research in the years to come will be in the refinement of approaches to the analysis of genre.
