STRATEGIES IN VARIOUS SPEECH SITUATIONS

Lesson 2 EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
You have learned about the different speech context, speech style, speech act and communicative
strategies. Why do we need to know all of these?

We need to know the speech context so that we will know what style and act to use in communicating with
others. We can choose the best words to say in applying the communicative strategies. Whenever there is a shift on
any of these, the language form, duration of interaction, relationship of speaker, role and responsibilities of the
speaker, message and delivery are affected. Therefore, all of these can affect how we approach, what we say, and
how long do we speak with others.

Study these examples:

A.

Approach Situation: you and your best friends are talking

Speech Context: Dyad
Speech Style: Casual
Language form Less formal words, use those that you both understand
Duration fo interaction Long enough but not very long unless you are in a hurry
Relationship of speaker Friends
Role and responsibilities of the speaker Make each other feel happy or comfortable
Message Funny experiences
Delivery Extemporaneous, not rehearsed

B.

Approach Situation: you are talking to your guidance counselor

Speech Context: Dyad
Speech Style: Consultative
Language form A bit formal and serious
Duration fo interaction There is a time limit form 10-30 minutes
Relationship of speaker Professional
Role and responsibilities of the speaker Speaker must be polite and honest
Message Personal experience
Delivery Clear and extemporaneous

You will see that there is a difference in the approaches if the context is different. What is important is you know
what is the APPROPRIATE approach. This is the best way to become effective in our communication with others –
know the concepts, understand how to use them, where to apply and when to adjust. Before you know it, you have
already been a good speaker!

PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH WRITING

Lesson 1 PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE SPEECH WRITING
 Conducting an audience analysis
 Determining the purpose of the
speech
 Selecting a topic
 Narrowing down a topic
 Gathering data

 Editing an/or revising

 Rehearsing  Selecting a speech pattern
 Preparing an outline
 Creating the body of the speech
 Preparing the introduction
 Preparing the conclusion

This diagram shows that writing proces is not linear but recursive. The steps are repeated untilspeech becomes perfect.
1. Analyzing the Audience – look into the profile of your target audience so that the speech will match the audience
or listeners. It includes:
a. demography – age range, male-female ratio, educational background, nationality, economic status, etc.
b. situation – time, venue, occasion, size
c. psychology – values, beliefs, attitudes, preferences, cultural and racial ideologies and needs
2. Determining the purpose -find out if you want to inform, entertain, or persuade. It can be general or specific.
Example: General purpose: To inform
Specific purpose: To inform the students about the benefits of COVID vaccine
3. Selecting the topic and narrowing it – your topic is your focal point. Make it more specific.
Example: Topic: COVID Vaccine
Narrowed Topic: Benefits of COVID Vaccine
4. Data gathering – collect information about your topic. It may be from books, internet, or other persons.
5. Selecting a writing pattern- choose a pattern in the development of your ideas. You may use:
a. biographical – presents descriptions of life of a person
b. categorical/topical – presents related categories to support the topic
c. causal – presents cause and effect relationship
d. chronological – presents ideas in time order
e. comparison and contrast – compares and contrasts two or three ideas
f. problem-solution – presents problem and solutions to it
6. Making an outline – arranging the ideas in hirarchical order may help in organizing thoughts to make it easy for you to write
your speech in an organized way.
Example: I. Problems on wastes
A. Environment
B. Health
II. Ways to Resolve
A. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
B. Solid Waste Management
7. Creating the body – involves writing explanations, examples, and details about the topic you have chosen
8. Writing your introduction – must catch the attention of audience and present the topic of your speech
9. Writing the conclusion – restates the main point of the speech. You can summarize or emphasize your point
10. Editing and revising – check your speech for mechanics such as grammar, punctuation, spelling, organization,etc.
11. Practice makes perfect – look at the time and how you deliver your speech. This will help you improve.
Activity 1: LET’S SEE
williamaspirastarampi
Directions: Read this excerpt from Manuel L. Quezon’s speech. Then fill in the chart with the needed information
based from the speech. Write your answer here in this answer sheet.

My countrymen:
You have called upon me to assume the highest office within our gift. I accept the trust humbly and gratefully.
My sole determination is to be President for the people.
The office of the President is the highest in the land. It can be the humblest also, if we regard it – as we must-
in the light of basic democratic principles. The first of these principles is the declaration of the Constitution that
‘sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them.” This simply means that all of us
in public office are all but servants of the people.
As I see it, your mandate in the past election was not a license for the selfish enjoyment of power by any man
or group of men. On the contrary, it was an endorsement of the principle – at times forgotten – that the general
welfare is the only justification for the exercise of governmental power and authority.
Your mandate was a clear and urgent command to establish for our people a government based upon
honesty and morality; a governemnt sensitive to your needs, dedicated to your best interests, and inspired by our
highest ideals of man’s liberty.
We have a glorious past. Now, we must build a future worthy of that past.

PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH WRITING

Lesson 2 WRITTEN TO BE SPOKEN
The speech that you have written is not only to be read. It is also meant to be spoken. How should one deliver a
speech? Here are some tips for you.

1. Use a conversational style more often. Audience do not like the speaker to sound too unnatural or
exaggerated.

2. Rapport with audience. Look at your audience in the eye so that they will feel that they are part of your speech.
This will keep their attention. Use pauses when you emphasize the most important words, phrases or sentences.

3. Modulation. Adjust your volume to the size of your audience. Vary your speed or rate to avoid boredom.
4. Articulation. Pronounce and enunciate words correctly to avoid confusion among your audience.

5. Stage Presence. Stand straight and balance your weight. This will give a positive first impression.

6. Gestures and Movements. Use precise movements. Move your arms with a purpose. Avoid mannerisms such as
swaying back and forth, leaning on podium, licking or biting your lips, playing with wristwatch or scratching body
parts.

7. Facial expressions. Avoid having a poker face or highly animated face. Just smile unless you are talking about a
sad subject. Your expression must match what your message conveys.

8. Dress properly and appropriately.

9. Breath in and out to relax before your speech.

10. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Activity 1. WATCH AND LEARN
