 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is

here to help you master the Nature of Communication. 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 lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can
be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is about Types of Speech.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

• distinguish types of speeches according to purpose;

• use principles of effective speech delivery in different contexts;
• differentiate the types of speech delivery;
• identify the speech used in different situations;
• write a sample speech according to purpose; and
• apply learning and thinking skills, life skills, and ICT literacy
in understanding the principles of speech delivery.

A speaker communicates for five reasons which is called

Functions of Communication. But a speaker also creates a speech
based on the purpose he or she wants to achieve. These purposes
are called the Goals of Speech. It becomes obvious as the speaker
shows through the speech what he/she wants to achieve. The
speaker through the speech can make one think, change one’s
mind, or smile or laugh.

What’s In
The speaker through the speech can make one think, change
one’s smile, or smile or laugh. The purposes of speech are studied
in order to deepen one’s knowledge and learn how to apply them in
one’s own speech. The four types of speech according to purpose
are Informative, Persuasive, Inspirational, and Entertainment.

What is It

Types of Speech According to Purpose

INFORMATIVE SPEECH
An informative speech is given for the purpose of providing
information about a topic to the audience. To write an informative
speech, you first choose a topic-either one that you already know
about or one that you are willing to research and learn about.
3 CO_Q1_Oral Communication in Context SHS
Module 4
Then, you outline and draft your informative speech based on the
topic, key points, and details and information you want to give
about your topic. Make sure you catch your audience's attention
and that you summarize key points and "take-aways" as you go.

The main types of informative speeches include definition,

descriptive, explanatory, and demonstrative.

A definition speech explains the meaning, theory, or

philosophy of a specific topic that the audience likely does not
know much about. The topics may be general, such as a sport, or
highly specific, like a particular person. The main goal of this
speech is to educate the audience so that they understand the
main points regarding this subject.

A demonstration speech explains how to do something. If you

have ever sat through a lecture where a teacher explained how to
create a bibliography, then you have heard a demonstration
speech. Like most informative speeches, a how-to speech will
likely use visual examples that show the audience how to move
from step to step through a particular activity. Visualizations help
the audience retain what each step looks like, increasing the
likelihood that they will retain the overall information of the
speech.

An explanatory speech might give a description of the state of a

given topic. As an example, consider the types of speeches that
are given at industry conferences. The goal of these speeches is
for the speaker to inform the audience on a particular part of an
industry. Commonly, these will also utilize visualizations that give
the audience a visual representation of the particular data or
statistics contained in the speech. This is one way to condense

4 CO_Q1_Oral Communication in Context SHS

Module 4
highly complex information into an easily retainable package for
the audience.

A descriptive speech creates a vivid picture in a person's mind

regarding an object, person, animal, or place.
An archaeologist who has discovered a new temple in South
America or a paleontologist who believes they have found a new
dinosaur may use a descriptive speech to inform an interested
audience about their recent discoveries.

As all of these types make clear, there are many ways that a
given set of information can be communicated in a speech. When
deciding what type of informative speech, you want to write and
deliver, consider what you want the audience to know about your
topic.

Examples:
1. College professor lecturing on a specific topic during a class
2. Guest speaker presenting information to a group of students
about how to apply for college
3. Company president presenting information about last quarter's
sales to a group of board members

 Excerpt: 100 days of COVID-19 in the Philippines: How WHO
supported the Philippine response
“Surveillance is a critical component and is used to detect cases of COVID-19
as well as to understand the disease dynamics and trends and identify
hotspots of disease transmission. The Department of Health included COVID-
19 in the list of nationally notifiable diseases early in the outbreak to ensure
that information was being collected to guide appropriate response actions.
Existing surveillance systems were capitalized upon to speed up
identification of cases as well as identify unusual clusters. Laboratory
confirmation is a critical component of the surveillance system but cannot be
the only sources of information. The non-specific symptoms and the novel
nature of the disease means that the DOH, with support from WHO, are
looking at all available information sources to guide response decision
making. WHO also provided technical assistance to selected local
government units to strengthen field surveillance for timely data for action at
the local level.”

PERSUASIVE SPEECH

A persuasive speech is given for the purpose of persuading the

audience to feel a certain way, to take a certain action, or to support
a specific view or cause. To write a persuasive speech, you choose
a topic about which people disagree or can have differing opinions.
Your persuasive argument will be made stronger if you can
demonstrate that you are passionate about the topic and have a
strong opinion one way or the other. Then, you outline and draft
your persuasive speech by taking a position on the topic and
outlining your support for your position. It is often helpful to also
discuss why the "other side" is incorrect in their beliefs about the

6 CO_Q1_Oral Communication in Context SHS

Module 4
topic. Make sure you catch your audience's attention and that you
summarize key points and "take-aways" as you go.

Examples:
1. A teenager attempting to convince her parents that she needs to
be able to stay out until 11pm instead of 10pm
2. A student council president trying to convince school
administrators to allow the students to have a dance after the final
football game of the season
3. A lawyer giving a closing argument in court, arguing about
whether the defendant is innocent or guilty of the crime

Here is an excerpt from a speech entitled “Poverty in the

Philippines”.

“I said earlier that it would be far off from reality that poverty would be
solved, why? Because first, we should identify the cause of poverty and
from there it would be solved. So what do you think the cause ladies and
gentlemen? Is it overpopulation? Unemployment? Pollution? Lack of
education? Poor governance? Or is it corruption? Ladies and gentlemen all
of these are the causes and who should we blame? Who do you think we
should blame? The government? Yes, certainly it is. But who’s more to blame
are the citizens. Yes, it is us. Every Filipino, every people are to blame and
why it is us? Just imagine if all people have proper discipline, what would
our country be? A nice, clean, peaceful country. Who wouldn't want to see a
Philippines like that? No pollution, less crime, no corruption. For only if its
people are disciplined, the politicians, the workers, professionals, students,
the old ones and even kids, this country could be developed and fight for
poverty.”

INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH

Inspirational Speech is a kind of speech that convinces people they

can succeed in life. This speech includes uplifting stories that the
speaker thinks the people listening to it will be moved and
inspired to do greater and better things in their life.
Edmund Chow, a motivational speaker, explained how to
structure a motivational or inspirational speech
“For you, you would need to find the monster figures in your life.
They could be oppressive colleagues, bosses, teacher, parents, or
other authoritative figures. Ask:
What did they prevent you from doing, or from becoming?
In your pursuit to “slay the dragon” or “overcome this monster”,
what steps, strategies, or hacks did you take with you on your
journey? Retrace the steps and find out what you did. Ask:
What did I do at Level 1? And then when it happened again, how
did I react and was it successful? What happened next? How did
I become better? Did I run away/ escape from its control? Did I
stand up for my own rights instead?
You see, the things you did are the things that helped develop
your values — your inner strength, your resilience, your
determination and your authenticity in becoming who you are.
And that’s the inspiring part.
Make the emotional connection for your audience and invite them
to take similar actions. This is where you can motivate them to
regain their confidence or faith in themselves or in a higher
power. This is also important in helping them connect with your
story heart-to-heart, where they can feel you and can empathize
with you. But, more importantly, because they see that you have

done it, they now know that it’s possible for them too. That’s the
positive effect you want in your audience. “

Here is an excerpt from Inspirational Speech delivered by

Steve Jobs in 2005 at Stanford University.

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: 'If you live each
day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.' It made
an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in
the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of
my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the
answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change
something."

ENTERTAINMENT SPEECH
The primary purpose of the speech is to entertain, to have the
audience relax, smile and enjoy the occasion. The speech should
have a central theme or a focus. The sole purpose is to have the
audience enjoy the presentation. There are many ways to entertain
the audience. You can tell jokes, tell funny stories, dramatize an
anecdote tell a scary story
Common Forms of Entertainment Topics

There are three basic types of entertaining speeches: the after-

dinner speech, the ceremonial speech, and the inspirational speech.
The after-dinner speech is a form of speaking where a speaker takes
a serious speech topic (either informative or persuasive) and injects
a level of humor into the speech to make it entertaining.

9 CO_Q1_Oral Communication in Context SHS

Module 4
A ceremonial speech is a type of entertaining speech where the
specific context of the speech is the driving force of the speech.
Common types of ceremonial speeches include introductions,
toasts, and eulogies.

The final type of entertaining speech is one where the speaker's

primary goal is to inspire her or his audience. Inspirational
speeches are based in emotion with the goal to motivate listeners to
alter their lives in some significant way.

The following is an excerpt from a speech by an undergraduate

student named Adam Fink. Notice that the tenor of this speech is
persuasive but that it persuades in a more inspiring way than just
building and proving an argumentbuilding and proving an
argument

“Graduates, we are not here to watch as our siblings, our parents, friends,
or other family walk across this stage. We are here because today is our
graduation day. I am going to go off on a tangent for a little bit. Over the past
umpteen years, I have seen my fair share of graduations and ceremonies. In
fact, I remember getting dragged along to my older brothers' and sisters'
graduations, all 8,000 of them – at least it seems like there were that many
now. Seriously, I have more family members than friends.
I remember sitting here in these very seats, intently listening to the president
and other distinguished guests speak, again saying welcome and thank you
for coming. Each year, I got a little bit better at staying awake throughout
the entire ceremony. Every time I would come up with something new to keep
myself awake, daydreams, pinching my arms, or pulling leg hair; I was a
very creative individual.
I am proud to say that I have been awake for the entirety of this ceremony.
I would like to personally thank my classmates and colleagues sitting
around me for slapping me every time I even thought about dozing off.
Personal story, check and now, application!”
