Aristotle's model of communication focuses on how a speaker can influence an audience through their speech. It has five main elements - the speaker, speech, occasion, audience, and effect. There are three key elements a good public speaker should demonstrate according to Aristotle - ethos, establishing credibility with the audience; pathos, creating an emotional bond with the audience; and logos, ensuring the speech has logical content relevant to the occasion and audience. The model examines how public speaking works to engage and persuade audiences.

4. 3 ELEMENTS OF ARISTOTLE MODEL
OF COMMUNICATION
1. Ethos
Ethos is the first most important quality that should
be present in a good speaker. If he takes the
credibility of his words and speech, the speech
would automatically be liked and acknowledged by
the audience.
If the speaker is not taking credit for his speech, the
audience might feel cheated and won’t believe in
the user.

2. Pathos
Pathos means feeling connected. If a speaker
is giving a speech and the audience feels
emotional bonding with the speech, they’ll
automatically be mesmerized by it. This sort of
emotional bonding with the speaker would
result in high engagement from the audience.

3. Logos
Logos means logic. The speech needs to be
engaging as well as have some logic behind it. If the
content is irrelevant and has no association with the
occasion and the audience, the speech won’t be
appreciated and liked.
Logic: a proper or reasonable way of thinking
about something
