 What I Need to Know

This module was crafted with an earnest desire to help you understand communication
and to guide you develop skills to become an effective communicator. The lessons in
this module will introduce you to the different speech styles and different speeches.
More than that, the activities will help you practice the use of appropriate language in
varied social situations. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different
learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of
students. The self-reflection questions after each concept is an aid to make you reflect
on your own experiences as a communicator.

This module focuses on MELC EN11/12OC-Ifj-17 - Distinguishes types of speeches and

speech style. It is divided into two lessons:

What’s In

In the previous module, you were introduced to the different contexts of communication.
The variations in environment and conditions helped you understand that these
differences also affect the way you communicate with others. In this lesson, you will be
able to differentiate speech styles and choose the appropriate style to use in a given
speech situation. Not only will you be able to create a good impression, but you will also
establish good relationships with others. Now that’s a 21st century skill!

Notes to the Teacher / Parent

Make sure that the learner has finished the section What I Know
before proceeding to the next part. It is desired that you try out
some of the communication activities with the learner.

 What is It

Speech Styles
We have our own unique ways to express ourselves through speech. The ways we
communicate vary from context to context. These variations are called speech styles.
The way we produce sounds, our grammar, choice of words, and intent all shape our
speech styles. All of us use more than one style when we communicate. I bet you will
agree that one of the most difficult decisions we must do every day is choosing the best
style to use in a given situation.

Joos (1961) introduced the following speech styles: intimate, casual, consultative,
formal, and frozen.

You use an intimate style when you are talking

to people you are close to and know very well.
Usually, you share a private language with people
you are intimate with like your parents, siblings,
best friend, close friends, and/or your “special
someone”. In an intimate style, we use inside
vocabulary and terms of endearment which we do
not often use in public. Our utterances are also
shorter. We use more comfortable non-verbal
communication strategies like touching, prolonged eye contact, higher or lower pitch,
decreased volume or extremely increased volume depending on the situation.

Some examples of intimate style include:

● consulting your family regarding your plans about

college
● sharing stories with your close friends
● declaring your love for your partner

Self-Reflection 1
Recall your latest conversation with a parent, sibling, close friend, or a loved one.
Do you remember yourself using informal language and non-verbal communication
strategies?

Casual style is a way we use to communicate with
people in a not-so-formal set up. The people who A. JARGONS are words or
use this style of communicating may belong to the phrases used by a specific
same sub-culture. They can be family members, group of people and which
classmates, friends, loved ones, and the like. In hold a specific meaning or
casual style, you use informal language that does such group (Ex: SCORE (in
not pay much attention to grammar correctness film means music; in sports
and word choice. Casual style is often times & education means points; in
relaxed and interactional, often characterized by banking means financial

and acceptable to participants.
You use this when you talk to strangers or acquaintances. It is semi-
formal and transactional in nature and often done with a goal in mind.
Here you must observe correct grammar and choice of words. Some
examples of contexts wherein we use this style is between a doctor and
patient, teacher and student, restaurant crew and customer, etc.

Formal Style is used in formal, often professional or academic, settings. It is usually

one-way and authoritative. Feedback and social significance are not key components of
this style. The main purpose of formal style is to impart information; thus, complete
sentences and carefully-selected words are used. Some examples of contexts that use
this style are sermons by religious leaders, speeches by world leaders, and job
interviews.

Frozen Style is the most formal of all speech styles. It can also be called fixed speech
since it is usually unchanged over time. It is used in formal ceremonies or traditions
and in the delivery of prose or poetry. In this style, you should pay attention to verbal
and non-verbal factors such as enunciation, volume, gestures, eye contact, etc. You
use the frozen style whenever you recite the Pledge of Allegiance (Panatang Makabayan)
or participate in religious services.

changed the world. Speech delivery is one tool you can use to impart your ideas. Yes,
you! You can do this too; in fact, you may not have realized it, but at one time or another
you had already done it. Let’s look at different types of speeches and examples of
situations where each type is delivered.

16
 What is It

Communication skills is a crucial skill if you want to take an active part in the
society. Confidence in speaking is one of the keys to success. In previous lessons, you
have learned about effective communication strategies. This type we will delve into the
world of SPEECHES. Speeches can be divided into two main categories: according to
purpose and according to delivery.

Speeches According to Purpose

Our everyday communication is driven by the need to achieve a goal. It can be to inform,
to persuade, or to entertain. These are also the three major types of speeches.

ENTERTAINMENT SPEECH

Entertainment speeches are usually brief and amusing. This type of speech has
the main intent of holding the crowd’s attention through witty narratives that express a
point. Aside from narratives, you can also share interesting information relevant to your
listeners. After all, whether in speaking or writing, you must always remember that your
audience is a major consideration in choosing the way you will deliver the message. This
type of speech is usually given on special occasions, which is why they can also be called
special occasion speeches.

Types of Entertainment Speech

● A speech of introduction is designed to present a person or an award.

● A speech of acceptance is made to express one’s gratitude for receiving an
award.
● Speeches of tribute call for speeches to celebrate an individual’s achievements.
They can be formal or informal, depending on the situation. Roasts and Toasts
are relaxed forms of tribute. A roast is a humorous tribute which pokes fun at a
person being honored. A toast is a brief tribute to a person or an event being
celebrated.
● Eulogies celebrate and commemorate the life of the deceased while consoling
those who have been left behind.

17
INFORMATIVE SPEECH

An informative speech provides new

information or insights. It can be an explanation of a
concept, a description of a person, place or event, or a
demonstration of how something is done. This type of
speech aims to enlighten the audience about the topic.
Examples of informative speech include classroom
lectures, reports, research presentation, cooking
demonstrations, and product reviews.

18
PERSUASIVE SPEECH

A persuasive speech aims to influence

the audience’s perception or behavior
towards a certain idea. Persuasion is not easy
because in order to do so, the speaker must
be able to provide both important information
AND solid reasons why the audience must
think the way the speaker does or why they
must do as the speaker says. Just like the
personalities described in the earlier part of
this lesson, persuasive speeches can be given
in assemblies or rallies. More common

Speeches According to Delivery
Now that you are familiar with different speech types according to purpose, let’s explore
speeches according to delivery.

MANUSCRIPT SPEECH

Manuscript speeches are usually delivered in formal occasions. They are

prepared and usually read word-for-word. This type of speech is used when the exact
words are crucial. Public figures, media personalities, or spokespersons for government
and non-government organizations choose this method of delivery for various reasons.
For instance, the president has speech writers who prepare his speech for him because
of his hectic schedule. In this situation, he would have to read the speech verbatim. A
valedictory address is prepared with much contemplation, and thus, is best delivered
using this method. Because it allows you time to prepare, it seems to be perfect.
However, there are certain limitations to this type of delivery such as decreased audience
rapport since you’ll be reading your speech. Also, since time is usually limited, you
might tend to want to cover everything to the point of ignoring your audience and not
making necessary adjustments based on their reaction.

MEMORIZED SPEECH

A memorized speech requires you to master the speech enough that you would
not need your notes during delivery. You must remember that there is a risk of sounding
insincere in this method of delivery. Thus, you should keep your speech short and
practice how you will present the speech. This method best used when you are preparing
to deliver short speeches for a special occasion.

EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH

An extemporaneous speech, just like manuscript and memorized speeches, is

prepared ahead of time. It differs from the other two because it is not delivered word-
for-word. You may also use short notes or an outline during the delivery. Most people
prefer it over other types of speeches because it allows the speaker to prepare for the
delivery; at the same time, it has room for spontaneity and audience interaction, making
the speech more personal and dynamic.

IMPROMPTU SPEECH

An impromptu speech is unrehearsed. The speaker has little to no preparation in

this method of delivery. This method of delivery allows for spontaneity. It also sounds
more conversational. However, if the speaker lacks knowledge on the topic, he will
probably ramble and speak incoherently. Since there is little to no time to prepare, the
speaker will feel nervous, especially if s/he is inexperienced.
