Introduction
The process by which
meanings are
exchanged b/w people
through the use of
common set of symbols
is called
COMMUNICATION.

3. What is Speech
Communication?
(from Latin "communis", meaning to share)
is defined as a process by which we assign and convey
meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding. This
process requires a vast repertoire of skills in intrapersonal
and interpersonal processing, listening, observing, speaking,
questioning, analyzing, and evaluating.
Use of these processes is developmental and transfers
to all areas of life: home, school, community, work, and
beyond. It is through communication that collaboration and
cooperation occur.

difficult form of public speaking
assignment.

you enough time to prepare.

you are still expected to deliver a great
speech.
• A badly delivered speech is inexcusable
even though you didn’t have any time to
prepare.

•Demonstrative – This has many similarities with
an informative speech. A demonstrative speech also

including a demonstration of how to do the thing
you’re teaching. Some examples of demonstrative
speeches:
* How to start your own blog
* How to bake a cake
* How to write a speech
* How to… just about anything

16. Types of Speech

convince people to change in some way: they think,

our children

medium. Focus on the message you are
trying to convey and not on your anxieties
