Preface

According to Peter Shepherd, “Communication is the solvent of all problems and


is the foundation for personal development.”

People communicate. Plants and animals even transfer messages to their


respective huddle. When we converse others, different interpretations and convictions
come into our mind because we have various ways of relating it.

Yes, purposive communication is very important in human lives especially to


connect people and make relationship with them. We need to communicate to solve many
problems and to interact each other as to what are their stand on certain issues.

As we recall the communication process, it has components which include a


sender, encoding of a message, selecting of a channel of communication, receipt of the
message by the receiver and decoding of the message and undeniably, noise is anything
that hinders communication.

Nowadays, with the advent of technology, there are many ways on how to relay
information; thus, its importance is to remove confusion and misunderstanding as it also
serves as a bridge which connects every people to understand each other to listen to their
thoughts and perception.

Communications is fundamental to the existence and survival of humans as well


as to an organization with its major purposes; to inform, to express feelings, to imagine,
to influence, and to meet social expectations. It is a process of creating and sharing ideas,
information, views, facts, feelings, etc. among the people to reach a common
understanding.

This module teaches us to become a good speaker and a writer as there are some
learning activities which students perform in real life situations.

Module one contains communication in the twenty-first century. It consists three


units. Unit one tackles about the communication models. Unit two focuses on
communication ethics while globalization will be tackled in unit three.

Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 2

Module 1 - Communication in the Twenty-First Century


The art of communication is the language of leadership.” (James Humes)

Unit 1. Communication Models

a. Communication models
b. Communication ethics
c. Globalization

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the unit, you will be able to:

• analyze the different communication models and


• illustrate the various functions of communication models.

Pretest

Give at least four words that you think about the word ‗communication‘. Write all
your answer in the circle.

Communication
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 3

It is a mistake to believe that communication is a simple process. Although people


communicate with one another every day, the real question is whether the ideas one has
expressed are truly understood by another. Communication breakdown in every part of
the globe, and these have led to a plethora of problems. Effective communication can
break peace, spark revolutions, and effect change in government. However, to
communicate properly, one cannot simply strive to express oneself and leave
understanding to fate; one must also learn how to organize one‘s thoughts, control one‘s
emotions, use one‘s words to articulate concepts and arguments, and express oneself in
the best way possible.

The art of one‘s communication reflects the art of one‘s thinking. According to
Berlin (1982), one of the major proponents of the New Rhetoric, ―in teaching writing, we
are not simply offering training in a useful technical skill that is meant as a simple
complement to the more important studies of other area. We are teaching a way of
experiencing the world, a way of ordering and making sense of it‖ (776).

This is also true when it comes to all the language skills essential in communication
whether this is in writing, reading, listening, or speaking. They are tools that help us
analyze, critique, and negotiate with the world. To construct ideas and bring people to
believe in one‘s vision, it is important to be able to communicate in an effective, articulate
manner. On a personal level, honing one‘s communication skills can also bring about
success t one‘s personal and professional life.

Challenge

Answer the two questions below based on the above-mentioned thoughts


about communication. Write your answer on the space provided.

1. What problems can happen when there are communication breakdowns?


Answer:

2. How communication important to everybody?


Answer:

One way of thinking about communication processes is by looking at the different


communication models available. According to Mcquail & Windahl (2013), in their book
Communication Models for the Study of Mass Communications, ―a model seeks to show
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 4

the main elements of any structure or process and the relationship between these
elements… it helps in explaining by providing in a simplified way information which would
otherwise be complicated or ambiguous.‖(2)

Try to analyze the different communication models.

1. Aristotle's Model. This model was developed some 2000 years ago. Aristotle (the
Greek philosopher) includes in this model the five necessary factors of communication:
Speaker, Speech/message, Audience, Effect and Occasion. Aristotle suggests that the
speaker should construct a speech for separate audiences on separate instance for
separate purpose. This model is applied in public speaking.

SPEAKER SPEECH AUDIENCE EFFECT


Occasion
2. Lasswell's Model (1948). It states that for mass communication process to be
understood, each of the phases has to be understood. This model elaborates on the effect
instead of the message itself. Effect implies observable change in the receiver. It also
proposes that any change in the elements will change the effect.

Shannon and Weaver's Model (1949): It is also termed as the engineering model of
communication is an exemplary of the process school of thought. It is also known as the
mathematical theory of communication as it gave a technique to the problem of how to
convey maximum information in a given channel. It proposed the noise concept. As
engineers during World War II, Shannon and Weaver's main challenge was in finding out
the most efficient human communication means.

Newcomb's Model- 1953. This is the premier of the models to propose the function of
communication in a society. The main function in accordance with Newcomb is to
sustain equilibrium in a society.

Wilbur Schramm – Osgood’s Model: Schramm continued from a simple human


communication model to a more complex model that justified the total experiences of two

1. What is ethics?

2. What do you think there should be ethics in communication?

Content

It is important to understand that whatever we communicate should be guided by


certain ethical principles. This US National Communication Associat6ion (NVCA,1999)
discusses this in their Credo for Ethical Communication, stating that, ―Ethical
communication is fundamental for responsible thinking, decision-making, and the
development of relationships and communities within and across contexts, cultures,
channels, and media. Moreover, ethical communication enhances human worth and
dignity by fostering truthfulness, fairness, responsibility, personal integrity, and respect for
self and others. We believe that unethical communication threatens the quality of al
communication and consequently the well-being of individuals and the society in which we
live (Santos, M. L. & Uychoco, M. T., 2018).
In their Credo, there are four ethical principles of communication that are especially
relevant for students today.
1. Advocate truthfulness, accuracy, honesty, and reason as essential to the
integrity of communication (NCA, 1999).
2. Freedom of expression, diversity of perspective, and tolerance of dissent to
achieve the informed and responsible decision-making fundamental to a civil society
(NCA, 1999).
3. Condemn communication that degrades individuals and humanity through
distortion, intimidation, coercion, and violence, and through the expression of intolerance
and hatred (NCA, 1999).
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 10

4. Accept responsibility for the short- and long term consequences of our own
communication and expect the same of others (NCA, 1999).

Everytime we communicate, we should consider the consequences of our actions.


If people were more responsible in their use of communication, there would be less conflict
in the world.

Globalization

Globalization has affected us in numerous ways. Airfare has become cheaper, and
one can travel internationally more than one could in the past. Many Filipinos have decided
to live abroad, with some of them migrating to other countries. The free trade of goods and
services all over the world has brought multinational companies and foreign investors to our
shores. Because of all of these factors, it is imperative to be aware of the differences
between our culture and the rest of the world‘s cultures.

Global communication is directly affected by the process of globalization, and


helps to increase business opportunities, remove cultural barriers and develop a global
village. Both globalization and global communication have changed the environmental,
cultural, political and economic elements of the world (Ahmed, 2018)

Because of the advent of the internet, the world seems to be shrinking continually.
One can communicate internationally in a matter of seconds, whether one is sending an
email, chatting in social media, or sending a text message. One can read about different
cultures, and have access to films, academic papers, and the like from countries around the
world, and vice versa. Give this increasingly shrinking world; one should know the difference
between the kind of English that we write and speak and the kind of Englishes that exist
outside the Philippines (Santos & Uychoco, 2018)

The importance of public speaking cannot be denied. Great speeches have moved
nations to war and revolution; they inspire and moved people to act. What people say, and
how they say it, can get them elected in public office or create a new movement in society.
For the Greeks, public speaking was political nature and the spoken word was thought to
be such an important skill that citizens were taught the art of rhetoric.
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 15

Public speaking is an important life skill, yet, few people master it. In fact, many
people are afraid of speaking in public. However, the significance of public speaking has
only gotten stronger in contemporary times. Public speaking platforms such TED talks and
Youtube have captured and disseminated public speech to an unprecedented scale and
what one says at the sour of the moment can live forever on the internet. Great speeches
have created hope in perilous situations, and have made people change their minds about
the world and their places in it.

According to acclaimed Carneige & Esenwein (2007), ―Public speaking s public


utterance, public issuance of the man himself; therefore, the first things both in time and
importance is that the man should be and think and feel things that are worthy of being
given forth.”

A. Brief History of Public Speaking

There are many public speaking traditions around the world.

Public speaking (also called oratory or oration) is the process or act of performing
a speech to a live audience. Public speaking is commonly understood as formal, face-to-
face, speaking of a single person to a group of listeners.[1] However, due to the evolution
of public speaking, it is modernly viewed as any form of speaking (formally and informally)
between an audience and the speaker. Traditionally, public speaking was considered to
be a part of the art of persuasion. The act can accomplish particular purposes including to
inform, to persuade, and to entertain. Additionally, differing methods, structures, and rules
can be utilized according to the speaking situation.

Public speaking was developed in Rome and Greece. Prominent thinkers from
these lands influenced the development and evolutionary history of public speaking.
Currently, technology continues to transform the art of public speaking through newly
available technology such as videoconferencing, multimedia presentations, and other
non-traditional forms.

Public speaking can serve the purpose of transmitting information, telling a story,
motivating people to act or encouraging people. This type of speech is deliberately
structured with three general purposes: to inform, to persuade and to entertain. Knowing
when public speaking is most effective and how it is done properly are key to
understanding the importance of it.
Greece
The Orator, c. 100 BCE, an Etrusco-Roman bronze sculpture depicting Aule
Metele (Latin: Aulus Metellus), an Etruscan man wearing a Roman toga while engaged in
rhetoric; the statue features an inscription in the Etruscan alphabet.

Although there is evidence of public speech training in ancient Egypt, the first
known pieceon oratory, written over 2,000 years ago, came from ancient Greece. This
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 16

work elaborated on principles drawn from the practices and experiences of ancient Greek
orators. Aristotle was one who first recorded the teachers of oratory to use definitive rules
and models. His emphasis on oratory led to oration becoming an essential part of a liberal
arts education during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The classical antiquity works
written by the ancient Greeks capture the ways they taught and developed the art of public
speaking thousands of years ago.

In classical Greece and Rome, rhetoric was the main component of composition
and speech delivery, both of which were critical skills for citizens to use in public and
private life. In ancient Greece, citizens spoke on their own behalf rather than having
professionals, like modern lawyers, speak for them. Any citizen who wished to succeed in
court, in politics or in social life had to learn techniques of public speaking. Rhetorical tools
were first taught by a group of rhetoric teachers called Sophists who were notable for
teaching paying students how to speak effectively using the methods they developed.

Separately from the Sophists, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle developed their own
theories of public speaking and taught these principles to students who wanted to learn
skills in rhetoric. Plato and Aristotle taught these principles in schools that they founded,
The Academy and The Lyceum, respectively. Although Greece eventually lost political
sovereignty, the Greek culture of training in public speaking was adopted almost identically
by the Romans (Santos & Uychoco, 2018).

Rome
In the political rise of the Roman Republic, Roman orators copied and modified
the ancient Greek techniques of public speaking. Instruction in rhetoric developed into a
full curriculum, including instruction in grammar (study of the poets), preliminary exercises
(progymnasmata), and preparation of public speeches (declamation) in both forensic and
deliberative genres.

The Latin style of rhetoric was heavily influenced by Cicero and involved a strong
emphasis on a broad education in all areas of humanistic study in the liberal arts, including
philosophy. Other areas of study included the use of wit and humor, the appeal to the
listener's emotions, and the use of digressions. Oratory in the Roman empire, though less
central to political life than in the days of the Republic, remained significant in law and
became a big form of entertainment. Famous orators became like celebrities in ancient
Rome—very wealthy and prominent members of society.

The Latin style was the primary form of oration until the beginning of the 20th
century. After World War II, however, the Latin style of oration began to gradually grow
out of style as the trend of ornate speaking was seen as impractical. This cultural change
likely had to do with the rise of the scientific method and the emphasis on a "plain" style
of speaking and writing. Even formal oratory is much less ornate today than it was in the
Classical Era (Santos & Uychoco, 2018).

the difference between a good public speaker and a bad public speaker?

Content

In today‘s day and age, everyone is expected to be able to give critical and creative
reports. This includes lawyers, engineers, and government employees, not just those who
are working in the field of multimedia and the arts. Modern technology has made it easier
for people to complement their reports with arresting visual arts and helpful videos, and it
has helped tremendously in the spread of all kinds of information. To succeed in one‘s
academic and professional life, one should be able to master the report.

Best Practices of Public Speaking

1. Introduction. What makes a speech electric? What makes a speech so


effective that it can make the audience have goosebumps or make them flush in
rage or joy? Great speakers have been called hypnotic, magnetic, and charismatic,
and this is not just because they have a compelling message, but because of the
captivating manner they deliver these speeches, as well.

2. Performance. Speeches are performances, and they are delivered best when
they have the feel of authenticity and earnestness. People respond when they think
that one speaking is being honest and sincere, and they respond even more
strongly when they feel that they can relate to the speaker in question.
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 20

3. Plan the Speech. It is vital to express oneself in an expensive and articulate


manner. It is best to choose one‘s words carefully, and to ensure that one‘s speech
builds on the foundation of logos, pathos, and ethos.

4. Eye Contact. One way of coming across as authentic is the ability to make
good eye contact with the audience, and to speak in a manner that touches them.
It is important to engage the audience, and eye contact helps doing that.

5. Speaking Style. Different people have different speaking styles and one can
only find one‘s personal style through constant practice. Some people seems t be
more effective when they come across as calm, trustworthy, and reasonable, and
their hand gestures seem more open and thoughtful.

6. Hand Gestures. Whatever kind of speaker one may be, it is always best to be
more purposeful when it comes to choosing hand gestures. Hand gestures can
create as much of an impact as the content of the speech itself. They must always
look smooth and natural rather than robotic or artificial.

7. Recording the Speech for Feedback. One of the best practices of public
speaking is to videotape speakers and have theses speakers watch themselves.
It might surprise them that they use hand gestures or mannerisms that distract from
or lessen the impact of their speeches. Some hand gestures are so exaggerated
they look like policemen directing traffic, and some people pepper their speeches
with too much nervous laughter, or fillers like ―Umms, and ―Uhhs‖ in their speech.

9. Appearance. When it comes to appearance, it is vital to look credible and


worthy of respect. In the real world, this depends a lot on one‘s audience, as they
way one‘s dresses should match the kind of audience one wants to impress.

10. Clothing. Traditional audiences often call for more formal clothing. For men,
this would mean donning a suit and tie at the most formal level, or at the very least,
the use of long-sleeved button-down skirts, slacks, and leather shoes. In the
Philippines, the use of barong and slacks is acceptable. For the women, a pantsuit
or a formal coat and skirt ensemble should suffice. In less formal instances, a dress
or blouse and skirt (or slacks) outfit should do as well.

11. Good Grooming. In addition, good grooming is a must, and that extends to
one‘s hair to one‘s nails. As long as one looks neat and clean, that should be
enough to satisfy most audience‘s requirements. Some audiences, however, may
require women to wear more (or less) make-up, don a hijab, or wear high heels- in
these instances, it is always best to know the cultural expectations of the audience
and the venue.
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 21

12. Visual Aids. Since we live in a world that is more dependent on information
technology, it has become de riqueur for audiences to expect speeches to be
accompanied with visual aids, such PowerPoint presentations, video or audio
clips, and infographics.

13. Handouts. It would be best to have handouts ready for one‘s audience so that
members of the audience will not have to scramble when taking notes during the
presentation.

14. Feedback. Although the speech is a performance, it is also one where its
audience can participate, often by the speaker asking rhetorical or directing actual
questions to the audience. It is always good to read the verbal and non- verbal
cues from the audience, such as whether they agree with what one is saying or
whether they are insisting to certain ideas mirrored by their use of body language.

15. Conclusion. In the end, public speaking is a dynamic performance that is


meant to disseminate information, create greater awareness and evoke emotions
in the audience (Santos & Uychoco, 2018).

Content

Sometimes, people with good public speaking and mediocre ideas get more
attention than people with great ideas but average public speaking skills. That‘s actually a
problem, According to John Bates, ―I think the world needs people with great ideas to have
the communication skills to match because we need those ideas more than ever‖ (quoted
in Clark, D.) When people have good ideas, they should be able to share it with others.
There are times when funding a good idea relies solely on one‘s public speaking skills, or
times when groundbreaking ideas need to be shared to create a social revolution (Santos
& Uychoco, 2018)
What is the purpose of TED Talks?
The purpose of TED Talks is told in its motto itself. Its motto is: "Ideas worth
spreading". Therefore, its purpose is to spread ideas and inspire and motivate its
audience. TED talks are held on various disciplines like science, education, history,
environmental issues, productivity tips, business, technology, etc.
When people speak in front of an audience, they are already on a place of
vulnerability, which is why some people freeze up or are afraid of showing their emotions.
The opposite should take - - - speakers should use their emotions to connect to the
audience - - -it makes them more relatable and more accessible. Personal anecdotes are
great ways to connect to an audience.
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 24

There really isn‘t much more to say. The best way to know how to give a TED talk
is to watch several and to study what makes them effective. And the best way to present
a TED talk is to practice and prepare, as much as possible.

Content
Academic Writing

Many people including students believe that academic writing means ―sounding
like a research paper,‖ which they associate with ―highfaluting‖ or jargon-filled language, a
still style and the absence of the writer‘s voice or opinion, and boring and rehashed topics.
In truth, the label ―academic‖ refers to a student‘s informed scholarly and insightful
contribution to ongoing discussions of relevant topics or issues (Uychoco & Santos, 2018).
Furthermore, the language used in academic writing should be clear and specific
because it is mean to be shared with others since obscure and pompous prose is irritating.
Since academic writing is done mostly to showcase your research and expertise
in a specific area or topic of interest, it is very vital to use balanced and credible voice
(tenor) to convey the purpose of the topic.

Documented Essay

A research paper or documented essay is a piece of writing in which you


incorporate information—facts, arguments, opinions—taken from the writings of
authorities in a particular field. Sometimes a research paper is no more than a report of
current thinking in a field, but more often a research paper demonstrates a thesis of your
own, relying on outside (secondary) sources for development and support of the thesis.
In other words, you should not think of a research paper as merely a series of
quotations from several sources on a subject, or just a summary, in your words, of those
sources—although you will probably include both quotation and summary in your paper.
Rather, the research paper is your synthesis of information on a topic: the bringing
together of information from various sources to establish a new perspective and to create
a new understanding of that material.
Writing a research paper involves moving through several stages and performing
a number of tasks. Although it is not a strictly orderly process (you will be involved in
several activities simultaneously), there is a sequence to follow with starting, developing,
and finishing strategies (Murray & Rockowitz, n.d.).
Documented essay consist of an introduction with an explicitly stated central
argument or thesis, there or more supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion. However,
citing sources should be done to avoid plagiarism.

Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Writing Process

Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally, understanding the logical
connection between ideas. Critical thinking has been the subject of much debate and
thought since the time of early Greek philosophers such as Plato and Socrates and has
continued to be a subject of discussion into the modern age, for example the ability
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 29

to recognise fake news. Critical thinking might be described as the ability to engage in
reflective and independent thinking.
In essence, critical thinking requires you to use your ability to reason. It is about
being an active learner rather than a passive recipient of information.
(https://www.skillsyouneed.com/learn/critical-thinking.html).

Below are the three stages of the writing process as well as component of these
stages:

The Pre-Writing Stage of the Writing Process

Choosing a topic

The pre-writing stage is defined as ―everything that takes place before the first
craft‖ (Murray, 19720). It begins with brainstorming exercises and preliminary research to
select a topic. Once topic has been chosen, researchers or student-writers should ask the
following practical questions:

1. What are the objectives of the research paper or the topic?


2. What are the length requirement of the paper (number of words and pages)
3. How much time do I need to write it?
4. What are other restrictions or limits imposed by the instructor or professors?

Asking research questions and establishing the significance of one’s research

The next helpful step is to barrage the specific topic with questions to come up with
the essay with the essay‘s main research question that‘s why you have to list all th possible
questions leading to the answer of your inquiry.

Composing a thesis statement

Coming up with a research question is vital for the next step, composing a thesis
statement. This is the explicit statement of what will be the paper‘s central idea, point, or
argument, that is - - - the main assertion that will supported by the entire essay.

Example:

Research Question: Why is the continued use of tingi-tingi system in twenty-first


century Philippines significant?
Thesis Statement: The continued use of the tingi- tingi system in twenty-first
century Philippine reflects a lack of change in the economic situation of the
Philippines, as those from the many poorer sector of society are forces ,due to lack
of available funds, to both buy small and think in the short term.
Preparing a writing outline
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 30

Outline is a skeleton or framework that contains three sections: the introduction,


the development, and the conclusion.
In the academic paper, the introduction consists of the interesting opening to draw
the reader into the subject, background information of the topic, and a statement of the
paper‘s thesis (Uychoco & Santos, 2018).
In terms of development, the researcher will expound everything to clarify the
information about your topic. This section explains how to go about the topic and is gaps.
For the conclusion, it contains a summary of the essay which can be in a form of
recommendation, suggestions, or reiteration of the main idea.

Here is an example of writing an outline:

Doing Research and Finding Credible Sources


Writing is not only a social activity but a collaborative one. Writing an academic
essay means adding one‘s voice to the conversation of other writers and scholars
(Uychoco & Santos, 2018).
With this, a writer must first do research and grater essential information from a
wide variety of sources available.
Citing sources matters most; thus, we have to write the name of the author if we
will copy the works of others to avoid plagiarism.

The Writing Stage of the Writing Process


When there is a solid plan and there are adequate notes from sources for the
essay, he students may move to the second stage of the writing process. This is writing,
or ―the act of producing a first draft,‖ which Murray (1972) as cited by Uychoco & Santos
(2018) says is the ―fastest‖ p[art of the writing process, taking up a little as 1 % of the
writer‘s time.
In this stage, you need to brainstorm and collect all the necessary data as you will
fill out everything from the start up to the last shot of your essay.

Rewriting Stage of the Writing Process

This third stage involves ―researching, rethinking, redesigning, and rewriting –


and finally, line-by-line editing, the demanding, satisfying process of making every word‖
(Murray (1972) as cited by Uychoco & Santos (2018). In this stage, the writer reviews the
paper the paper to see how it may be improved, asking such questions as:
• Is the title appropriate and effective?
• Is the first paragraph interesting and compelling? Is it related to the topic?
• Does the introduction include a clearly stated main idea?
• Does each paragraph support the essay‘s main idea?
• What needs to be added, omitted, or reorganized?
• What should be edited in terms of grammar and mechanics?
• How all sources been properly acknowledged via ―|in-teact- citation and a
bibliographic list?
With the three stages mentioned above, the writer should take it closely and
seriously to achieve an effective output and of course, expect some comments and
feedbacks from the reader.

Content

A. Importance of Persuasive Speech

In this day and age, it seems the everybody is trying to persuade everybody else.
Whether it it in o rder to buy a specific product, try out the newest craze or join a political
movement, persuasion is the name of the game. Whatever field of preofessio, one plans
to join in the future; it is an essential skill to be able to persuade someone. Altohught most
people nowadays try to persuade using emotional means; it is best to be abe to use logic
and reasoning to persuade people as well (Uychoco & Santos, 2018).

The Basics of Argumentation

The ordinary expectations of an argument is an action the involves strong words,


possbly matched with violent acts. However, this apreciiation cannot be father from the
truth. In fact, a well-reasoned arugment is npot based on violence at all; but one that is
based on logical anfg evidence.
An agument is complosed of three featres: assumption, evidec,e and eplxanation.
If any one of the three features are mssiong, these are obt considered arguiments. In the
case of assumption without evidece, the are merely opinions. In the case of evidecne
without assertions, these are simply balc facts that need further contextualization.
Unfortunately, most people believ that if you have one of these features, one can create a
compelling argument (Uychoco & Santos, 2018).

1. Assumption. It is an opinion that needs ewvidence to back it up. Hence, saying


that the world is round s not an assumption., it is fact. It is not an opinion that asks for
evidence because it has already been proven and is considered to be tru by all accountts.

For example, the belief that all states should respect human rights usedto be
considered a fact in the Philioppines. However, with the election of President Rodrigo
Duterte, for some people, this is now considered a matter of opinion, as human rights have
been framed as a Western concept that has not relationship to Philippine realities. Both of
these assertions have their merits, and it is now important to closely look at the evidence
in order to see which assertions is more correct thatn the other.

2. Evidence. It can be any of the following: concrete facts and figures; a


philosophical ideology agreed upon to be true by everyone; and anecdotal evidence. The
strongest bodies of evidence are basedon facts and ficugres, and it is important tothat
they are true and come from reliable sources. One cannot explain to get facts from memes,
dodgy blogs, and fake news sources. It is best to get facts from newspapers and acadmeic
journals, or their digital counterparts. The weakest among the three would be anecdotal
evidence, as this can be exaggeration of the speakers, or even an outright lie ((Uychoco
& Santos, 2018).
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 37

3. Explanation. An expanation tells the audience why the evidence supports the
assumption. It should be clear and concise, and the relationship between the evidence
and the assumption must not commit any logical fallacies.

For example, when it comes to the earlier assumption, that all states shold be
observe humsan rights for its citizens, the fact that this is enshrined in the United Nations
Commission for Human Rights (UNCHR) might not be enough for some people.
Therefore, in order to be more persuasive, one must epxlain where there this came from,
that it was a post-World War II measure to ensure that the evils of the Nazi Holocaust
would not be repeated in the world. A stronger explanation would go to the premises of
the argument and analyze this point by point in order to make the audience fully
understand the argument (Uychoco & Santos, 2018).

As such, an argument‘s persausive power is not found soely on logcial grounds. It


is important to remember that one is trying to convicne human beings with emotions, and
not cold, unfeeling robots, which is why it is always best to add the persuasive powers of
pathos ( a qaultiy that evokes sadness) and ethos (philosophy or character) in an
artugment, aside form those that stem form logos (logic or argument).

B. Persuasive Speech in Private Institutions

Corpoate and private institutions rely on persuasion in order to get investments,


broker deals, and find clients. Persuasion comes, not just I nthe words that used , but also
with snappy audio—visual presentations and infecitous music. It can be dead serious, as
in corporate negotiations, or serioulsy fun, as in marketing products and pithcing prorjects
((Uychoco & Santos, 2018).

Pitching a Project

Many times, people needto look for fundsing sources ot make good ideas grow
and develop. When the Internet first bloomed in the 1990s, many start-ups, or up and
coming web-related companies, were able to get investments form Silicon Valley and
beyond. Although this tapered off when the dot-com bubble burst in the 2000s, this is still
the case when it comes to people who have good ideas and need to look for investors to
make business ideas grow.
Nowadays, the Internet has created sophisticated platforms for people to pitch their
proejctsd so that people who are interested in helpind out can eaisly invest with a click of
a button. The most well-known platform for this is Kickstarter, and the pitches are made
by uplaoding videos can view and discuss, and will help as models for the students before
they make their own video / audio-visual pitch.
Art of communication in multi-modal contexts 38

C. Persuasive Speech in Public Institutions

Persuasive speeches in public institutions are important in government and in our


way of life. They affect public policy and establish laws that citizens should follow and
obey. These can also be made to change existing laws and norsm that are problematic. It
is also possible to make persuasive speeches in the public sphere without being part of
the government., as an advocacy to influence the people and to sway those in government
, or a way of epxressing outrage and airing public greivances (Oychoco & Santos, 2018).

It is undeniably true that the spaker experieces jitters and nervousness oncne they
deliver a speech in front; however, everythign wil be learned and earned as long as you
are teancious to do.

In the aspect campaigning public figures or products, it is very vital to present all
the necessary component about the subject or else it will not be as flourishing as it is.
