How to Be a Grammarian in Toastmasters
The Grammarian is responsible for improving the language used in the meeting. This role has two main responsibilities: introducing the Word of the Day and observing language use throughout the meeting.
Before the meeting: Choose a Word of the Day that is interesting, useful, and not too obscure. Prepare the definition, part of speech, and an example sentence.
At the start: Introduce yourself, explain your role, and present the Word of the Day. Encourage all members and guests to use the word.
During the meeting: Note excellent vocabulary, creative phrases, and powerful language. Also note any grammatical errors, but be tactful in how you report them.
At your report: Announce who used the Word of the Day and how many times. Share your best language highlights. Tactfully mention any common grammar issues. Keep your report positive and encouraging.
