Lesso Principles of
n 1 Effective Speech
Writing
How do you think one should prepare for his or her speech? What will you consider
in selecting the topic for your speech? In this section, you will learn techniques and
methods on how to make your own speech. We are going to look closely at how you
can write a speech masterpiece, starting with how you should analyze your target
audience up to refining your speech as to logical organization, word
choice and grammatical correctness.
What’s In
In the previous module, you discovered how a shift in speech context, speech style,
speech act and communicative strategy affect the language form, duration of
interaction, relationship with the speaker and the roles and responsibility of the
speaker, content of message and delivery.
Your previous activities let you explore the importance of the speech in variety of
occasions and settings. This time, you will discover the complexities of speech
communication in formal writing through writing a speech.
Notes to the Teacher

This module comprises two (2) lessons with series of self-paced
activities that will help your student achieve the objectives of this
lesson. As the subject teacher, your guidance and support are very
important to help your student finish the entire lesson. Happy
Teaching!

Module 1
What’s New
In this lesson, we will use what you have learned in the previous module in a more
formal context. You will start to compose your formal speech, but before that,
answer this given activity by writing TRUE if you think the statement is correct. If
not, write FALSE.
___________1. I should consider my audience’s age, interest and gender when

writing my speech.
___________2. I should use impressive words so that my audience will be amazed.

___________3. I should research on what my audience know about the topic.
___________4. I should use jargon in my speech to make it more reliable.
___________5. I should use varied methods to make my topic more organized.
___________6. I should never consider the length of my speech.
___________7. I should consider my audience’s attention span in writing my speech.
___________8. I should use catchy starter to get my audience’s attention.
___________9. I should edit my work only because of grammatical errors.
__________10. I should never ask someone to proofread or comment on my speech.
What is It
A good speech requires days or even weeks of preparation depending on the topic
and the availability of materials needed. While many are expert enough to compose
their speech a night before they deliver it, seldom that it became very successful for
a beginner writer. For this reason, careful planning is important to come up with a
well-written speech.

Module 1
When planning for writing your speech, you should consider the following principles:
1. Audience Profile
Knowing your audience specifically their general age, gender, educational
level, religion, language, culture and group membership is one of the most
important aspects in developing your speech. Basically, this is done so that you can
tailor-fit your speech content and delivery to your audience.
Analyzing your audience will help you discover the information you can use
to build a
connection
between you
and members
of your
audience.
✓ Who
is the
audience?
✓ How many?
✓ What does the

audience know
about the
subject?
✓ Why should they
be interested?
Use the following table to analyze your target audience.

Audience Analysis
Age Bracket
Gender
Educational Background
Place of Residence (city, town, province)
Marital Status
Language spoken
Religious Affiliations/Beliefs
2. Logical Organization
Once you have already analyzed your target audience, the next part is to
organize your speech manuscript. The logical organization or arrangement of
thoughts when it comes to speech writing can be defined as all aspects of your
writing that help the reader move smoothly from one sentence to the next, and from
one paragraph to another. Thus, carefully planning the content of your speech is
also necessary.
The written speech has three parts: the introduction, body and conclusion.
The role of introduction and conclusion is mostly similar in many speeches, that is,
the introduction presents the main idea of your speech, while the conclusion

Module 1
reiterates the main idea. The body offers definitions, examples, or any information
that can help you convey your intent and clarify the main concept of your speech.
The Introduction
The introduction is the most crucial part of the speech. It is generally only 10 to
15 percent of the time the speaker spends speaking. According to Wrench (2012), a
good introduction serves five functions: (1) you should be able to gain audience
attention and interest, (2) it states the purpose of your speech, (3) it establishes
your credibility, (4) it should provide reasons for your audience to listen and (5)
your introduction should preview the main idea of your speech.
The Body
The body of the speech is the core part of the speech that addresses the main
ideas and principles of the speech. It consists of the main points. This is presented
using methods of organization (Flores, 2016).
1. Problem-Solution Order- It explains the problem and suggests a possible

solution.
Example: Cleaning up Laguna de Bay
2. Categorical/Topical Order- It divides the topic into subtopics based on

the importance or interest value or simply because the topic requires it.
Example: Importance of promoting the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
program
3. Chronological Order- A historical or time approach which is from the

past to the present. It presents idea in time order.
Example: The significant development of the province of Laguna from
Spanish period to present.
4. Comparison and Contrast Order- It presents comparison and contrast

of two or three points.
Example: Comparison between living in the city and life in the province.
5. Spatial/Geographical Order- Going from one place to another, from one

direction to another
Example: Traveling around the wonders of Batanes islands
To achieve logical organization, transitional devices may be used to
6. Causal Order- It involves a discussion of both cause and effect of an issue. 7

CO_Q3_Personal Development SHS
Example: The Fish Kill in Laguna de Bay Module 1
Make sure that you move smoothly from one paragraph to another.
Transitional words are used to connect words, phrases or sentences. They help the
reader to move from one idea to the next to build coherent relationships within the
text.
Study the table showing examples of different transitional words and their
functions.
Function Examples
Addition again, also, and, and then, besides, equally important,

further, furthermore, in addition, in the first place, moreover
Comparison also, in the same way, likewise, similarly
Contrast although, yet, but, despite that even so, even though, for
all that, however, in contrast, in spite of, instead,
nevertheless, notwithstanding, on the contrary, on one
hand-on the other hand, otherwise, regardless, still,
though
Emphasis certainly, indeed, in fact, of course
Example as an illustration, for example, for instance, namely,

or specifically, that is, to illustrate
Illustratio
n
Summary all in all, altogether, as has been said, finally, in brief, in

or conclusion, in short, in simpler terms, in summary, on
the whole, to summarize
Conclusio
n
Time after a while, afterward, again, and then, as long as, at last,
Sequence at length, at that time, before, earlier, eventually, finally,
first, formerly, in the past, last, lately, meanwhile, next,
now, presently, second, shortly, simultaneously, since, so
far, soon, still, subsequently, then, thereafter, until, until
now, when

The Conclusion
After writing the body of your speech following the methods of organization,
the last thing that you need to work on is how to end it.
The conclusion functions as the summarizer of the entire speech. The

conclusion has to be written using different strategies (Tandoc, 2016).
❖ Present a summary
❖ Repeat the key ideas presented
❖ Repeat the central idea for emphasis
❖ Go back to the strategy used in the introduction
❖ Signal the end of your speech
❖ End with an impact
• Thought-provoking questions
• Humor
• Quotation
• A call for action
• A connection to a larger context

3. Duration
No matter how long the speech is, always divide it into five parts: an introduction, the body
(paragraph 2, paragraph 3, and paragraph 4) and a8 CO_Q3_Personal Development SHS
Module 1
conclusion. This format is adaptable to a speech of almost any length. By doing
this, you can actually monitor the time and length of your speech or the so-called
Duration. Most experts say that the ideal length of speech is up to 20 minutes.
(Gray Grant, 2017).
Introduction: 2 minutes (250 words)

Body: Point 1: 5 minutes (625 words)
Point 2: 5 minutes (625 words)
Point 3: 5 minutes (625 words)
Conclusion: 3 minutes (375 words)
Total word count: 2,500 words (20
minutes)
4. Word Choice
There are a lot of vocabularies available to describe one's idea. However, the
speaker should carefully use the correct word in writing the speech. The use of
conversational language helps put the audience feel at ease and creates a special
bond between the speaker and the audience. However, there are things that you
should consider in choosing your words.
The following words should be avoided in a written speech (Tandoc, 2016).
a. Jargons or technical terms specific only for a group of people

b. Redundancy or excessive repetition of words
c. Language inappropriate for the audience
d. Language inappropriate for the occasion
Jargons are specific words or phrases used by a certain individual or

group which are difficult for others to understand.
For example, the word idiopathic (which means unknown cause) and
hyperventilate (rapid breathing) are jargons because they are technical terms
in medical fields. The word affidavit (sworn) and circumstantial (specific
details) are heard commonly in legal aspect or terms in in the field of Law.
These words can be confusing if you are speaking in front of a general crowd
or audience.
5. Grammatical Correctness
Using correct grammar when you give a speech is important to prevent

misunderstanding and misinterpretation between you and the audience. Good
command of the language helps listeners understand you quickly. Grammar
inconsistencies slow down the communication process and generate negative
impressions for the audience, as your ideas and thoughts are not clear and
coherently conveyed.

mindful and persuaded of what you say?
Certainly, there is no shortcut recipe for being a good speaker. Indeed, nothing is
automatic; you must make it happen. This module has lesson that will serve you
that purpose i.e., to become a good speaker. Luckily, there are some tools and
principles that can be helpful to you in presenting and delivering your speech like a
pro. Discover yourself as a great speaker and be ready to see its wonders as you see
it come to pass.
What’s In
It is important that you master the previous lesson on the use of principles for
effective speech because you will find them applicable in achieving the target
competency in this module. You have learned that an effective written speech
constitutes various principles such as audience profile, logical organization,
duration, word choice, and grammatical correctness. In any event, when you realize
your messages are solid and clearly explained on paper, it is hard to know without a
doubt that your oral delivery will likewise be acceptable.
Notes to the Teacher
You may give various exercises to your learners in trying to deliver
their crafted speech. Try to involve the class in assessing the
performances of their classmates using the set of criteria for
effective speech.

What’s New
Photo Story
Story telling is important in keeping your audience engaged and informed of
what you are trying to share. To make you practice developing your narratives,
below are interesting photos or memes. Choose one from the photos below. Create a
story about it. Try to discuss your story, the people involved, their situation, their
aspirations, their motivations, their actions, and anything that will build up your
story about them.
Use the message of your story in delivering a speech to persuade and inspire
others to live a purpose driven life. Please note that your teacher will ask you to
present your story by reading it aloud. Make sure that your delivery is clear and
persuasive.

Module 1
What is It
Do you wish to become a great speaker? Good news! This module discusses the
principles and tools of effective
speech delivery to help you achieve
that purpose.
Effective speaking means

being able to say
what you need to say in a manner
that it is heard
and acted upon.
According to Stephen Lucas

(2011), author of
The Art of Public Speaking, a good
delivery means
that you are capable and able to present your
message in a clear, coherent, and interesting way.
In addition to this, he also says:
Good delivery…conveys the speaker’s ideas clearly, interestingly, and
without distracting the audience. Most audiences prefer delivery that combines
a certain degree of formality with the best attributes of good conversation—
directness, spontaneity, animation, vocal and facial expressiveness, and a lively
sense of communication (p. 244).
Tools for Effective Speech Delivery
Articulation
People always judge how well you speak in general. The perceived intellect or
education is sometimes used to measure how well you articulate. The instance on
how well and precisely you form vowels and consonants using your lips, tongue,
jaw, and palate to form the sounds to speak is crucial in making your message get
crossed. On the same idea, diction and enunciation are other forms of articulation.
For example, saying “going to” instead of “gonna” or “want to” instead of
“wanna” are instances of good versus poor articulation. Proper diction in
articulation is important in speaking which needs a lot of practice.
Modulation
This happens when you control or adjust the tone or volume of your voice as
you try to lower your voice to a loud whisper in order to get the attention of your
audience as they find your message more appealing, dramatic and mysterious.
Modulation has various meanings, such as a change of key in music or of the
sound of a person's voice.

Module 1
Stage presence
The speaker’s ability to get and secure the audience's interest in listening to
him / her through his or her presentation style refers to stage presence. Every time
the speaker faces his audience, he is encouraged to keep his poise, posture,
gestures, and movements since they may make or break the presentation.
A good stage presence essentially engages the audience into the

performance. It is the ability to make the audience connect with the speaker and
pull them into the story being told, and as a result, the audience are affected by the
feelings, emotions, and ideas being conveyed.
Facial expressions
To effectively communicate emotions and enthusiasm while speaking, the

speaker must use emphatic and descriptive gestures. These helps enhance the
verbal content of our speech. Gestures should appear spontaneous but
purposeful. Movements from the waist down should be decisively used to
emphasize
a point or as a transition during a speech.
Facial expressions are essential in setting the emotional tone for a speech. It is
helpful that facial expressions jive with the message being delivered. To achieve the
positive tone of the speaker before he begins, he simply must glance at the audience
and smile. A smile may be simple, but its value is indispensable in communicating
friendliness, openness, and confidence. In addition, facial expressions communicate
various types of emotions which reflect the speaker’s moods and personality traits.
For instance, mix of many facial expressions can communicate the speaker’s
feelings, excitement, frustration, confusion, sadness, confidence, aspiration,
happiness, etc. Even if the audience does not feel bored, for example, a slack
blank face may give the audience the impression that the speaker is bored with
his own speech or that the entire message is uninteresting and boring.
Arm and hand movements constitute gesture. We all may have developed our
native culture and we tend to internalize them as we speak. Becoming fluent in a
language is part of this process. On the other hand, we also become fluent in non
verbal communication through our gestures. We all use hand gestures while we
speak, but we didn’t ever go to any class in learning how to match our verbal
communication with the appropriate gestures; we just internalized on these norms
as a result of long period of time based on observation later incorporate them as we
speak. By this point in your life, you have a whole vocabulary of hand movements
and gestures that spontaneously come out while you’re speaking. Some of these
gestures are emphatic and some are descriptive (Koch, 2007).
Movement of the whole body, instead of just gesturing with hands, is appropriate
in a speech. It is suggested that starting speakers hold off attempting to fuse body

Module 1
What’s More
Now that you already know that some skills and speech challenges will require
greater expertise to learn, mastery of these skills of speech delivery on the other
hand will make you more confident. Note the speaking skills exercises. You can
practice these out loud and you can practice them in your imagination.

What I Can Do
Speak Up!
To have an excellent presentation, your delivery matters even more than what you
say, and this exercise helps you refine it. Given below are lines from a speech of
President Emilio Aguinaldo, practice saying it aloud in front of your family as
though you’re giving a speech. Rate yourself using the given rubric and pay
attention to your tone, inflections, and generally how you can use your voice to
create more interest.
“We are no longer insurgents; we are no longer revolutionists; that is to say,

armed men desirous of destroying and annihilating the enemy. We are from now on
Republicans; that is to say, men of law, able to fraternize with all other nations, with
mutual respect and affection. There is nothing lacking, therefore, in order for us to be
recognized and admitted as a free and independent nation." -President Emilio
Aguinaldo in his inaugural speech at Barasoain Church, Malolos, Bulacan, January
23, 1899
