Lesson 7
Activities to be done:

Motivation Practice Task 1. Practice Task 2.


Recognize it! Tell me!

Assessment
Motivation:
End of the Word – Beginning of the Next
Here’s how to play:
- One student starts the game by giving out one word – it can be any word, it just
needs to be one that every student knows how to spell.
- The next student must listen to the word the previous student said, then come up
with a word that starts with the letter the last word ended with.
- For example:
Horse
Ear
Right
Tiger
- Our category is name of countries/cities or provinces only.
Communication is very important to
our lives. Each of us has a creative
and unique way of interaction.
Through various forms of media, we
can transfer information from one
person to another, and even to
ourselves.
One important characteristic of
human communication is the ability to
express oneself into different
modalities. With the different
purposes of communication, it is
essential to know what types of
speech and speech style we can use
to deliver our message successfully.
Types of Speech
Speeches can be categorized into
different types depending on
(1)Purpose: to inform, to entertain,
and to persuade and
(2) Delivery: impromptu,
extemporaneous, manuscript, and
memorized.
Types of Speech
According to
Purpose
Informative speech
varies depending on the topic. These are
speeches about objects or people,
processes, events, concepts. The
primary purpose of this type of speech is
to inform and provide knowledge to
the listeners. The lectures of your
teachers are the best examples of this
type.
Entertainment speech
aims to share goodwill, joy, and pleasure to the
audience. The primary goal is to make the audience
relax, enjoy, and even laugh. This means that you,
the speaker, is expected to be friendly and relaxed,
but still courteous during the speech delivery.
Moreover, you should know your audience well in
order to entertain them effectively. The humorous
speeches of comedians and performers are the
best example of this type.
Persuasive speech
is the form of communication that people of diverse backgrounds
mostly engage in. This kind of speech can center on any arguably
interesting topic under the sun. When you deliver your persuasive
speech, your primary goal is to influence the thoughts, feelings,
actions, and behaviors or attitudes of your listeners (Gamble &
Gamble, 2012). Likewise, you also aim to change their perception
and convince them that your argument is more important,
practical, attainable, or feasible. In essence, you—as a persuasive
speaker—advocate for whatever your message is. The campaign
speeches of the running candidates for government posts are
the best examples of this type.
Types of Speech
According to
Delivery
Manuscript speech
is writing and delivering a speech word for word. You
read or glance upon your manuscript or a copy of
your speech while delivering it. This method is the
most advantageous to public figures since they
are always constrained by a hectic schedule, so they
need ghost writers. Consequently, they would have
to read the text of the speech as it is. The
President’s State of the Nation Address (SONA)
is a concrete example of this situation.
Media personalities and speakers on radio and
television always battle with time limits. For example,
a televised panel discussion about a social issue
may require radio and TV anchors to critically choose
and refine the words of their speech in advance.
Moreover, spokespersons for government and
private organizations also use this type of speech
since this public speaking role requires a great deal
of contemplation and preparation. For example,
speeches of different country’s spokespersons in an
international seminar on climate change.
Memorized speech
requires you to commit the speech to memory
so that you do not bring your notes when
delivering it. As with the manuscript speech, you
also run the risk of sounding mechanical during
a memorized delivery. For this reason, keep
your memorized speech short and work harder
on your facial expressions and the tone of your
voice.
Impromptu speech
is delivered with little or no time for preparation. In
most instances, you are called to speak at the spur of
the moment because you are expected to be
knowledgeable about the subject. For example, your
teacher assigned you to read an article before the
class starts. Then, during the class you were asked to
deliver an impromptu speech about what you have
learned from the article. Another instance to illustrate
an impromptu situation is when you are asked
Another instance to illustrate an
impromptu situation is when you are
asked by a friend or a relative about your
current or planned vacation trip or when
you are campaigning for a position in
school and you are asked by your fellow
students to respond to their questions.
Extemporaneous speech
is a planned and prepared speech. Unlike
memorized or manuscript speeches which are
delivered word-for-word, an extemporaneous speech
is delivered with the help of short notes and a
clear outline. Most people who speak in public often
prefer the extemporaneous method of delivery.
Although it might look more challenging than the
manuscript or memorized speeches, it is more
spontaneous and personal.
Types of Speech
Style
Types of Speech Style
1. Intimate
2. Casual
3. Consultative
4. Formal
5. Frozen
1.Intimate – This style is private, which occurs
between or among close family members or
individuals. The language used in this style
may not be shared in public.

2.Casual – This style is common among peers


and friends. Jargon, slang, or the vernacular
language are
used.
3. Consultative – This style is the standard
one. Professional or mutually acceptable
language is a must in this style.

Examples of situations are communication


between teachers and students, employers
and employees, doctor and patient, judge and
lawyer, or President and his/her constituents.
4. Formal – This style is used in formal
settings. Unlike the consultative style, this
is one-way.

Examples are sermons by priests and


ministers, State of the Nation Address of
the President, formal speeches, or
pronouncements by judges.
5. Frozen – This style is ―frozen‖
in time and remains unchanged. It
mostly occurs in ceremonies.
Common examples are the
Preamble to the Constitution,
Lord’s Prayer, and Allegiance to
country or flag.
