Objectives :

1. I can engage in a communicative

situation using acceptable, polite and
meaningful communicative strategies;

2. I can demonstrate the effective use

of communicative strategies in a variety
of speech situations.
 Communicative Stategies

An effective communication strategy forges and maintains

connections, allowing you to interact efficiently.

Communication strategies are blueprints fro how the information will

be exchanged.

Strategies must be used to start and maintain a conversation.

(Cohen, 1990)

Effective use of these strategies results to communicative

communication.
 7 Types of Communicative Strategies

Nomination Restriction Turn-taking Topic Control

Topic Shifting Repair Termination

 NOMINATION
– presenting a particular topic clearly, truthfully, and saying only what is relevant.

introducing a topic at the

beginning of a conversation
conversation-starter
begin, start, commence,
nominate, open, propose an
idea or a topic
examples:
news inquiries/news announcements
"uy mare, i have chika!"
unlimited talk of a couple over the
phone
 RESTRICTION
- listener responds only within a set of categories made by the speaker

In communication, you are
restricted to follow
instructions and you have
limited things you can say.

go to school despite the pandemic
crisis?" (Yes or No questions)
"Discuss the Pythagorean Theorem."
(instruction)
 TURN-TAKING
- recognizing when and how to speak because it is one’s turn

process by which people in examples:

a conversation decide who
is to speak next "Anyone in the class who would like
to share his or her ideas?"

to speak "May I have the floor, Sir?"
"Me too!"

DAY 11: TYPES OF

SPEECH

ACCORDING TO

PURPOSE

Ma'am Abegail Aquino

Learning

Objectives :

1. I can distinguish the different types of

speeches.

2. I can determine speech purposes.

Types of Speech According to Purpose

The four basic purposes of speeches are: to inform, to instruct, to

entertain, and to persuade.

Effective speech delivery requires identifying the purpose of your

speech.

These purpose are not mutually exclusive of one another. One speech
may have several purposes.
 INFORMATIVE
-This speech serves to provide interesting and useful information to your audience.

The main purpose of writing
an informative essay is to
provide reliable information
to your reader on any
subject matter.
example:
A teacher telling students about
earthquakes.
A scientist explaining evolution.
 DEMONSTRATIVE
- it is done to explain and show people how to do something

This has many similarities

with an informative speech.
example:

A demonstrative speech also a chef explaining how to make a red

velvet cake
teaches you something. The
main difference lies in
including a demonstration of
how to do the thing you are
teaching.
 PERSUASIVE
- it is done to persuade or convince the listeners.
- this might involve persuading someone to change their opinion

works to convince people to example:

change in some way: they
think, the way they do A doctor giving a speech about getting
something, or to start doing vaccinated
something that they are not
currently doing.
 ENTERTAINING
- in this kind of speech, the speaker provides pleasure and enjoyment that makes the
audience laugh, smile, and relax.

how do you make a speech

the sole purpose of this
speech is to have the
audience enjoy the
presentation
entertaining?
- tell jokes
- tell funny stories
- dramatize an anecdote
- tell a scary story
