“Very nice! I am very pleased you were able to finish the
task given to you. Now let’s discuss your performance. Is
anybody who can tell me what he/she notices when one is
talking to a priest? What about to the mayor? To a stranger?
To a friend or relative?
Discussion
“Very good observation! You already have basic
knowledge of the content of our lesson today. Class, today,
we will talk about SPEECH STYLES. Everyone, please
read the definition of Speech Style presented on screen.
Thank you, class. Now speech style has 5 different types.
The first one is the INTIMATE STYLE. Would someone
read the definition written on the board?
Thank you. Now let us go back to the performance of
Group 2. Two lovers are talking. This is an example of an
INTIMATE style. Anyone who can tell the class why?
“Very good! It’s easy to understand, right? Remember that
an INTIMATE style doesn’t need to care about grammar or
pronunciation. Did you get it?”
Now let us proceed to the second speech style. The
CASUAL STYLE. Can anyone read it for me?
“Wow, forda thank you to the ferson who read. Anyway as
much as it is fun to say it, please refrain from doing so
because it is not grammatically correct. Okay?
“Thanks. Now, let’s check the performance of the group 3.
A group of friends are talking. Can somebody explain the
class why this example is casual?”
“That is correct. If you observe, when you talk to your
friends, you don’t care whatever comes out of your mouth,
right? Sometimes, we are too casual to the point that when
talking to them, we laugh too loud, or shout. Now let us
proceed to the third speech style, Kiara can you read the
definition for the whole class?
Thank you Kiara. Now let us dissect the performance of
Group 4. An employee is asking her boss why she has to go
to Singapore for a training. This is Consultative. Can you
tell me why?
“You got it! Perfect! Now, I want you class to give me an
example of a situation where we use consultative style.
Again, before proceeding, can you tell me the first three
speech styles?
Excellent! Now on to the fourth speech style. Is anybody
Students
(Students will read the definition of Speech
Style)
(Student will volunteer to read the first
sentence: “INTIMATE STYLE is used
between people who have a very close
relationship such as family members, friends,
or couple..)
(Student answers: Ma’am the two lovers are
intimate because they already share many
experiences and they don’t have to be shy or
awkward towards each other.”
“Yes, Ma’am!”
(Student will volunteer to read: CASUAL style
is a conversational way of talking to friends. If
you are speaking in casual style, you use a,lot
of trendy words like forda ferson… etc.
“Yes ma’am.”
(A student volunteers and answers: Ma’am,
it’s because they feel comfortable with each
other and they don’t have to be formal.)
(A student volunteers and answers:
CONSULTATIVE style in which the listener
constantly observes the speakers’ verbal and
non-verbal cues for feedbacks. This is evident
among people who are not familiar with each
other.)

who can read the definition of Formal Speech Style?
“Thanks. Now, let’s take a look at the performance of
Group 1. A person tries to talk in front of a class. This one
is a Formal speech style. Could you tell me the reason why
it’s classified as formal?”
“Very good. Well said. Now, can somebody give me an
example where we use a FORMAL SPEECH STYLE?”
“Nice try for those who gave their answers! Now let’s
discuss the last type of sentence. FROZEN style. Read the
definition, ___________.”
“Thank you. Now do not be confused with formal and
frozen. Because when we say frozen, the utterance is very
monotone. In the performance of Group 5, you noticed that
when the priest is saying “Peace be with you” the rest say
“and with your spirit.” Now, what other examples do we
use Frozen style?
“Well done, class! Do you have any questions? Any
clarifications?”
Analysis
“Nice. I am pleased with your participation. Now let’s have
a short activity before you take the quiz.”

sentence: “A formal or frozen speech style is
called upon when speaking in formal settings
no matter how the participants are related to
each other.)
(Student answers: Ma’am, Ma’am it is formal
because he must address a crowd about a
certain topic. He should also be prepared a day
before giving that speech.)
(Students answer)
(Student reads: “FROZEN style is a very
formal style which is characterized by the lack
of participation and feedback giving from the
receivers’ end. This is often seen is formal
ceremonies like weddings, baptism and etc.”)
