In this course, you will learn that the key to becoming an effective communicator is to
reach out to others and really put all your efforts into transmitting your message as
accurately as possible for understanding to occur.
To communicate is to reach out in order to share something in common
The skills that you will learn today will be immediately useful in many areas of your life,
since communication is something we do practically all the time.
DEFINITION OF COMMUNICATION
Communication originated from the Latin word communis or communicare which means
“to share” or “to participate”.
It is the process of using common system of words, sounds, symbols, signs, or behaviors to
exchange information or to express our ideas, thoughts, and feelings to someone else.
Oral communication is the process by which a speaker transmits a message to a listener ( or
listeners), who, in turn , sends feedback to the former.
What are the most common ways we communicate?
1. spoken word 2. written words 3. visual images 4. body language
What is Communication?
Communication is the transmission of an idea or feeling so that the sender and receiver share
the same understanding.
Communication is not a mysterious process.
It takes place when the ideas from your mind are transferred to another’s and arrive intact,
complete, and coherent.

FUNCTIONS
OF COMMUNICATION
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
Discusses the functions of communication (LC EN11/ 12OC-Ibe-8)
1. Define what functions of communication are
2. Identify the functions of communication
3. Demonstrate the functions of communication through a 2-minute skit.
Functions of communication refer to the reasons for communicating with other
people such as regulation and control, social interaction, motivation, information
and emotional expression. (Flores, 2016)
FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION
1. Regulation/ Control as a function of communication means being able to use language,
gestures and emotions to manage individual or group activities.
Example: Making an announcement that the community will segregate garbage.
2. Social Interaction is the most familiar and the primary reason why people
communicate. This is because people do love to talk and love to talk with each other.
Example: A mother talking to her children while they are playing
3. Motivation as a function of communication tries to persuade another person to
change his/ her opinion, attitude or behavior.
Example: An entrepreneur showing money as his motivation to succeed in his career.
4. Information is the most useful function of communication that allows the speaker to
make others aware of certain data, concepts and processes.
Example: A pharmacist giving information to the elder about the medicine she purchased.
5. Emotional Expression is used by a speaker for the purpose of moving another person to
act, to move in the particular direction the speaker wants that person to move.
Example: A scientist appealing to accept his research on hydroponics.
SPEECH
is the vocalized form of human communication.
based upon the syntactic combination of lexical and names that are
drawn from very large (usually >10,000 different words)
vocabularies
Human speakers are often polyglot able to communicate in two or
more of them.
The vocal abilities that enable humans to produce speech also
provide humans with the ability to sing.
A gesture form of human communication exists for the deaf in the
form of sign language
is researched in terms of the speech production and speech
perception of the sounds used in spoken language. Several
academic disciplines study these including acoustics, psychology,
speech pathology, linguistics, cognitive science, communication
studies, otolaryngology and computer science.
It is controversial how far human speech is unique in that other
animals also communicate with vocalizations.
There are several biological and psychological factors that can affect speech. Among these are:
1. Diseases and disorders of the lungs or the vocal cords, including paralysis, respiratory infections,
vocal fold nodules and cancers of the lungs and throat.
2. Diseases and disorders of the brain, including alogia, aphasias, dysarthria, dystonia and speech
processing disorders, where impaired motor planning, nerve transmission, phonological
processing or perception of the message (as opposed to the actual sound) leads to poor speech
production.
3. Hearing problems, such as otitis media effusion and auditory processing disorder can lead to
phonological problems.
4. Articulatory problems, such as stuttering, lisping, cleft palate, ataxia, or nerve damage leading to
problems in articulation. Tourette syndrome and tics can also affect speech. A lot of people also
have a slur in their voice
5. In addition to dysphasia, anomia and auditory processing disorder can impede the quality of
auditory perception, and therefore, expression. Those who are Hard of Hearing or deaf may be
considered to fall into this category.
In other words:
Speech:
1. Strategic Nomination is the manipulation of an election through its candidate set (compare this
to tactical voting, where the manipulation comes from the voters). Strategic nomination is not to be
confused with campaign strategy, the methods candidates employ in political campaigns to win an
election after nomination.
2. Restriction an act of limiting or restricting (as by regulation)
the act of keeping something within specified bounds (by force if necessary)
3. Turn-taking. Individuals involved in a conversation take turns speaking. Turn-taking refers to the
process by which people in a conversation decide who is to speak next. It depends on both cultural
factors and subtle cues.
4. Topic control - limiting conversations if it is not fruitful/productive
5. Topic shifting is a diversionary tactic in which one person in a discussion (the shifter) manages to
subtly change the discussion's topic to another, related but different topic, without explicitly announcing
the change of subject or reaching any kind of mutual agreement that such a change is appropriate.
Reasons this is done include:
The shifter feels better able to defend their point of view on the second topic than on the first
(which is not a legitimate reason for changing the topic, but the shifter may be doing so without
realizing it)
The shifter views "winning the argument", or even "not losing the argument" (e.g. allowing or
encouraging the argument to devolve in chaos, if a victory seems unlikely) as more important than
working towards a better understanding of the truth on the original topic
The shifter truly sees the second topic as being at the heart of the disagreement about the first
topic (an honest and conscientious arguer will state this point specifically so that the change can be
discussed, in which case it isn't "shifting" but a legitimate change to the focus of the discussion)
6. Repair is an organization of practices of talk in which speakers deal with problems or troubles in
speaking, hearing or understanding talk.
7. Termination – ending up the conversation
TYPES OF SPEECHES
ACCORDING TO PURPOSE:
1. Informative – This speech serves to provide interesting and useful information to your
audience. Some examples of informative speeches:
A teacher telling students about earthquakes
A student talking about her research
A travelogue about the Tower of London
A computer programmer speaking about new software==
Informative Speeches
An informative speech is one in which the speaker relays knowledge to an audience on a specific topic.
There are four distinct types of informative speeches: speeches about objects, speeches about
processes, speeches about events, and speeches about concepts.
1. Speeches About Objects
Object speeches seek to impart knowledge about this object to the audience. Whether your object is
the human body or the most recent episode of Family Guy, informative object speeches provide a
comprehensive overview of your object as topic.
It's important that object speeches have a purpose: using our previous examples, you may discuss
the complex, myriad ways in which the endocrine system functions and how it regulates metabolism;
similarly, you may describe how Family Guy serves as a modern form of satire in pop culture. It's one
thing to spout off facts about an object, but there must be a purpose to those facts.
Any occurrence that happens is regarded as an "event." A speech about an event then, describes the
occurrence in full: the time, date, location, and circumstances of that occurrence. Like all informative
speeches, event speeches must also serve a purpose. You may talk about how the Battles of
Lexington and Concord came to be known as the "shot heard 'round the world," or describe the
experience of your first week at college. In either case, your speech must have a purpose to it.
1..A narrowly focused speech topic can really hone in on an object, process, event, or concept, thus
making it easier for the audience to understand that topic. A broadly chosen topic usually entails lots
of different kinds of information, which might complicate the informative quality of a speech and
confuse the audience members. A narrowed focus also makes researching more manageable for the
speech writer and increases his or her ability to understand that topic thoroughly before presenting
it to others.=
2. When writing an informative speech, pick out a small number of key points on your specific topic
that you want the audience to take away from your speech. Use these points to develop an
organizational structure to your speech, which should include an introduction, body, and conclusion.
This structure will provide a trajectory that guides your audience as you elaborate the key points of
information. Having a structure gives you, as the speaker, an opportunity to introduce the key points
in the introduction and revisit them in the conclusion, increasing the likelihood that the audience will
walk away with the key knowledge about your topic.
ACCORDING TO DELIVERY:
Impromptu Speech. This is a speech that has no advanced planning or practice.
Memorized speech is reciting from memory a speech that has been prepared in advance.
The Extemporaneous Speech is a perfect balance. This speech involves the speaker's use of notes and
some embellishment to deliver a speech. To clear this up, a speaker who uses this method would have
note cards or prompts that guide him from point to point, but he uses his own words as he goes along.
What makes this different than an impromptu speech is that he has a loose guideline for his speech. He
did not memorize anything; he just used cues to know where to go next.
In a Manuscript Speech, the speaker reads every word from a pre-written speech. This seems easy
enough. Well, if your audience enjoys a bedtime story, it may work. Reading directly from the pages of a
script has its benefits. You won't miss a single word or important fact. The downside? It can be boring.
Without eye contact, animation or movement on stage, the audience may become disinterested. This is
especially true if the speech is about a drab topic.
Writing For The Spoken Word: The Distinctive Task of The Speechwriter
Repetition with variation is a basic speechwriting tool used by many of the greatest speakers to
emphasize key elements while avoiding monotony. Some examples follow. ! Martin Luther King’s “I have
a dream” speech was a striking example of this technique, using that phrase to introduce a series of his
visions for a better future. !
Lincoln at Gettysburg emphasized the significance of the day’s events by restating the solemnity of the
occasion in not fewer than three variations: “We cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot
hallow this ground, ...” !
Similarly, Winston Churchill’s World War II speeches used repetition with variation to build a powerful
climax: “We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and
growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on the
beaches and landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills, ... we shall never surrender.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1937 “One third of a Nation” speech imparted a sense of urgency by his
deliberate repetition of a “here are” construction to describe conditions in the country, followed again
and again with “now”:
Here is one-third of a nation ill-nourished, ill-clad, ill-housed — NOW.
Here are thousands upon thousands of farmers wondering whether next year’s prices will meet their
mortgage interest — NOW.
Here are thousands upon thousands of men and women laboring for long hours in factories for
inadequate pay — NOW
Rhythmic Triads.
The grouping of words into patterns of three can lead to a memorable effect, provided the device is not
overused. Some notable examples from classic oratory include “Veni, vidi, vici”; “Never ... was so much
owed by so many to so few”; “The kingdom, the power, and the glory ...”; “I have not sought, I do not
seek, I repudiate the support of ...”; “one third of a nation ill-clad, illnourished, ill-housed....”
Parallelism. The linkage of similar words or ideas in a balanced construction that repeatedly uses the
same grammatical form to convey parallel or coordinated ideas: “Bigotry has no head and cannot think;
no heart and cannot feel;” “Charity beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things.”
Alliteration.
The repetition of initial sounds in a series of words to give emphasis. For instance, “We need to return to
that old-fashioned notion of competition — where substance, not subsidies, determines the winner,” or,
“... the nattering nabobs of negativism....”
Anaphora. This is the repetition of the same word or words at the beginning of successive clauses or
sentences. Churchill’s famous defiance of Hitler, “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the
landing grounds ...,” which has been previously cited, is one of the most famous examples. Antithesis. A
common form of parallel structure comparing and contrasting dissimilar elements. For instance, “... give
me liberty, or give me death.”; “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for
your country.”; “To some generations much is given; from others, much is demanded ...”; “A great
empire and little minds go ill together.”; “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the
age of wisdom, it was the age of folly.”; “If Puritanism was not the godfather to Capitalism, then it was
godson.”
Sentence Variation
This technique involves more than alternating longer sentences with short ones. The writer may employ
either periodic sentences, that is, those in which the main clause comes at the end, or loose sentences,
in which the main clause is presented at or near the beginning, to be followed by other main or
subordinate clauses. Sentence variation also includes the use of such devices as those described below.
Rhetorical Questions. “Is peace a rash system?” “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at
the price of chains and slavery?” The speaker leads the audience to the conclusion he hopes they will
draw by asking a question that makes his point, and that he intends to answer himself, either
immediately, with a flourish, or at greater length during his remarks, through patient exposition.
Sentence Fragments.
“Dear money. Lower credit. Less enterprise in business and manufacture. A reduced home demand.
Therefore, reduced output to meet it.” The speaker dramatizes the situation by reducing it to a stark
declaration, which he renders more striking by pausing to let the facts sink in after each sentence
fragment.
Inverted Order. “With what dignity and courage they perished in that day.” This classic rhetorical
practice, once more widely used, seeks to embellish the general flow of words, much like an ornament
or a musical flourish. It also helps give a particular sentence special emphasis by causing it to stand out
from others by its unusual form.
Imagery No speech will sound fresh and vivid if it is not animated by imaginative imagery, by metaphor
in its many forms: “the hatred of entrenched greed”; “America will always stand for liberty”;
“Democracy is the healthful lifeblood which circulates through the veins and arteries of society ...”;
“Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.”
Audience Analysis
Demographics
Age is obviously an important factor; high school students, young parents, and senior citizens have
different levels of life experience, different interests reflecting the challenges they face at their
particular stages of life, and, to some extent, they even speak different languages
Audience Size
The size of an audience is another important factor in preparing a speech. A large audience and a formal
occasion usually call for greater formality in language and delivery, lengthier remarks, and greater
reliance on some of the classical rhetorical practices cited in this report
Persuasion
The persuasive speech is a two-edged sword: it can seek to instill in the listeners either the acceptance
of, or at least a more favorable opinion toward, a particular condition, fact, or concept.
Entertainment
A great percentage, perhaps a majority, of Member speeches will fall into this category.
The primary aim of the training is to provide the participants with methodology of writing, performing
and arranging successful presentation delivery in English language. The lecturer will pay attention to the
cultural aspects and the influence of audience cultural composition on the effect of presentation.
A/ Drafting of presentation
The participants will learn how to draft the speech determined for a small and a large group of listeners,
how to draft presentation for members of a working group and negotiations at an international level.
They will learn the recommended structure, the procedures how to prepare for writing, how to proceed
with writing and how to process the feedback for their improvement. They will learn how to choose the
topic, collect information, attract the audience and use the setting to enhance the final impression of
speech delivery.
B/ Body language
The participants will be given the advice how to deliver messages using their body language effectively.
They will be video-taped and given the advice how to use their hands, gestures, keep eye contact to be
able to develop communication with their audience and highlight the purpose of their presentation.
They will be recommended how to enter the room of speech delivery, what place to occupy to keep eye
contact and how to move while delivering speech.
(a) Appearance - The speaker’s appearance should be appealing to the audience. The audience in
factlikes speakers who are similar to them.
(b) Movement - All the movements on the stage should be voluntary and warranted. Nervousness can
cause involuntary movements which can distress both the speaker and the audience. If the speaker gets
involved in the speech and trusts the audience, nervousness can go. No movement can happen on the
stage without reason. Movements driven by the speech can help the speaker maintain contact with all
the sections of the audience.
(c) Posture: A confident speaker stands straight with his arms well relaxed. Nervous speakers sprawl on the
podium and lean against the wall. There is always fear and tension.Great speakers on the other
hand take an informal posture and relax their audience too. Informal postures get the speaker a
positive reaction from the audience.
(d) Facial Expressions: The expression on the speaker’s face determines the audience’s closeness to
him. Warm smile and confident look take the audience close to the speaker. The expressions display
the degree of involvement, the speaker has in his speech. The involvement with the speech is all the
necessity and the rest will take care of itself.
The expressions and the tone used by the speaker should go hand in hand with the message and the
emotions that are delivered. For example, the expression and tone of the speaker should be serious
when he delivers a serious message and sad when he delivers something sad. Any deviation in this
would confuse the audience.
(e) Eye Contact: It is one of the most important gestures. It not only increases the speaker’s direct
contact with the audience but also increases their interest in their speech. Direct eye contact helps the
speaker understand audience reaction then and there and it makes the occasion less frightening.
(f) Volume: It is confirmed by the number of the audience but it should be loud enough for the speech to
reach everybody. The beginners who have stage fear are usually not loud enough and it is they who
should check it through rehearsals.
(g) Articulation: It is the right pronunciation of all the words. The people who suffer stage
fright commit the mistake of deletion, addition, adding extra parts towards slurring.Perfect articulation
and Standard English are a must for any public speaker.
(h) Time: Time is an important factor in Speech delivery. At the outset, the speaker should know
the amount of time given for his speech and prepare accordingly. Sticking to time can be achieved by
proper rehearsals.
(i) Language : The speaker should use the language well suited for the audience. Too much of scientific
terms may not go well with the common public. The words that the speak uses should be readily
understood by the audience. It is good to stoop to the level of the audience.
“Don’t use a big word where a small one could do.” – George Orwell.
(j) Use Short stories, Anecdotes and Quotations according to the need. It is always good to start the speech
with a small story as stories normally arouse interest. But remember, too much of anything is good for
nothing.
“Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, and tell them what you told them.”
