ORAL COMMUNICATION IN CONTEXT – GRADE 11
TYPES OF SPEECHES ACCORDING TO PURPOSE

I. Introductory Concept
People have different reasons and purposes when they speak. Some may want to convey information.
Other people may have other intentions like wanting to motivate another. Some may speak because they
want to convince their listeners to support or affirm what they claim. And others do speak out to disagree
with someone’s opinion.

II. Learning Skills from MELCs

At the end of the lesson, you are expected to identify the type of speech used according to purpose,
and differentiate the type of speeches from one another.
III. Activities
A. Let Us Review

What is public speaking? Public speaking

is not simply reading or talking about your
topic, it requires making connections with
one’s audience and being able to effect
change.

B. Let Us Study
Types of Speeches According to Purpose
1. INFORMATIVE SPEECH
This speech aims to teach the audience something new or to provide worthwhile information.
This type answers the “what”, “why” and “how” of the topic.

2. ARGUMENTATIVE SPEECH
This speech intends to convert the audience to agree on the speaker’s point or side.
It focuses on controversial issues.
Types of appeal:
a. Logical Appeal – this speech uses rhetorical strategy in making conclusion based on facts.
Example could be a speech trying to convince someone to get vaccinated against COVID by
showing proofs of people who did not have severe COVID infection because they were
vaccinated as against those who were unvaccinated.
b. Psychological Appeal – this type targets the listeners’ feelings. To convince the listener to
observe health protocols to prevent spread of covid infection, the speaker may tell a story
about the hardships being experienced by the healthcare providers as they work inside the
hospitals.
c. Personal Appeal – this type of appeal is used to persuade the listener based on the character
or reputation of the speaker. For example, a gynecologist giving a talk on adverse effects of
early pregnancy to convince the listeners to avoid pre-marital sex and teenage pregnancies.
