The document outlines the key steps in the speech writing process, which includes analyzing the audience, determining the purpose and topic, gathering research, creating an outline, writing the introduction, body, and conclusion, and then editing and rehearsing. Some of the main components are analyzing the audience's demographics and needs, choosing whether the speech will inform, entertain, or persuade, developing the central topic, and using structures like chronology to organize ideas in the outline and body. The conclusion should restate the main idea and call to action.

Role of Speaker
Informative Speakers Are Objective
Most public speaking texts discuss three general purposes for speeches: to inform, to persuade, and to entertain. Although these general purposes are theoretically distinct, in practice, they tend to overlap. Even in situations when the occasion calls for an informative speech (one which enhances understanding),
often persuasive and entertaining elements are present. First, all informative speeches have a persuasive component by virtue of the fact that the speaker tries to convince the audience that the facts presented are accurate (Harlan, 1993). Second, a well-written speech can make even the most dry, technical information entertaining through engaging illustrations, colorful language, unusual facts, and powerful visuals.
Informative Speakers are Credible
An objective approach also enhances a speaker’s credibility. Credibility, or ethos, refers to an audience’s perception that the speaker is well prepared and qualified to speak on a topic (Fraleigh & Tuman, 2011). Peterson, Stephan, and White (1992) explain that there are two kinds of credibility; the reputation that precedes you
before you give your speech (antecedent credibility) and the credibility you develop during the course of your speech (consequent credibility). In many cases, the
audience has no prior knowledge of the speaker, so they make judgments about the quality of the evidence and arguments in the speech. In addition, they look at and listen to the speaker to determine if s/he is a reliable source of information.
Informative Speakers Are Knowledgeable
Good informative speeches contain a number of different source citations throughout the speech. To show that the information you present is accurate

Outline Assignment
Persuasive Belief
Topic
Choose a topic that is significant, contemporary, meaningful, and relevant to the audience. Analyze the audience, link the topic to them in a way that will gain and hold attention and interest, and agreement.
Format
This outline must be at least 3 pages long and use 12-point font.
Use appropriate coordination and subordination. Use full sentences, including subjects and verbs for the main ideas or main points and the 1st order of subordinate ideas or sub-points. Consistently use either full-sentence or list form for 2nd -order sub-points supporting the same 1st order sub-point. Usually use list form for 3rd order, 4th order, and 5th order sub-points.
Enhance the readability of the outline. Use only one idea per point, only one sentence per point, single-space each point, and double-space vertically between points. Leave a line of white space between each point at every level.
Transitions between major sections and the main points should be provided in the outline (enclosed in parentheses). Use transitions to move the audience’s attention from one section to another or from one main point to another.
Use a consistent pattern of indentation. Type main points flush with the left margin. Indent 5 spaces for 1st-order sub-points, 10 spaces for 2nd-order sub-points, 15 spaces for 3rd-order sub-points, 20 spaces for 4th-order sub-points.
Use the following system to label the points in the body:
Main Points: upper case Roman numerals [I, II, III, IV, V]
1st -order sub-points: upper case letters [A, B, C, D, E]
2nd -order sub-points: Arabic numerals [1, 2.3, 4, 5]
3rd -order sub-points: lower-case letters {a, b, c, d, e],
4th -order sub-points: Arabic numerals in parentheses [(1), (2), (3)]
Content
Specific Purpose:
Formulated into one sentence, the specific purpose identifies the precise response the speaker desires from the audience (agree). Do not use infinitive phrases, i.e., “to inform” or “to persuade.” Place the label for the specific purpose sentence flush with the left margin.
Thesis Sentence:
The thesis sentence (addressed to the audience, not the instructor) summarizes everything the speaker intends to say during the speech. Place the label for the thesis sentence flush with the left margin.
The i
ntroduction
should gain attention, orient the audience by stating the topic, offer a reason for listening, and preview the body of the speech. The introduction (which may be outlined or written word-for-word) is designed to
gain the attention of the audience;
establish the speaker's credibility; and
orient the audience to the body of the speech.
Do not say “I will tell the story of ____,” or “I will do X, Y, or Z.” Actually outline or write the story here in the Introduction, such as “Have you ever found yourself repeating mistakes you have made before?” Actually outline or write the question here.
Enclose transitions within parentheses ( ) on a line or lines separate from the rest of the outline. Tran.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Speech Writing Process.docx
1. The Speech Writing Process
Just like events planning or any other activities, writing an effective speech follow certain steps or
processes. The process for writing is not chronological or linear; rather it is recursive. That means you have
the opportunity to repeat a writing procedure indefinitely, or produce multiple drafts first before you can
settle on the right one.
The following are the components of the speech writing process.
A. Audience analysis entails looking into the profile of your target audience. This is done so you can
tailor-fit your speech content and delivery to your audience. The profile includes the following
information:
1. Demography (age, range, male-female ratio, educational background and
affiliations or degree program taken, nationality, economic status, academic or
corporate designations)
2. Situation (time, venue, occasion and size)
3. Psychology (values, attitudes, preferences, cultural and racial ideologies and
needs.
B. The purpose for writing and delivering the speech can be classified into three – to inform, to
entertain or to persuade.
1. An informative speech provides the audience with a clear understanding of the
concept or idea presented by the speaker.
2. An entertainment speech provides the audience with amusement.
3. A persuasive speech provides the audience with the well-argued ideas that can
influence their own beliefs and decisions.
Note: The purpose can be general and specific.
C. The topic is your main point, which can be determined once you have decided on your purpose. If
you are free to decide on a topic, choose one that really interests you. There are a variety of
strategies used in selecting topic, such as using your personal experiences, discussing with your
family members or friends, free writing, listing, asking questions or semantic webbing.
D. Narrowing down a topic means making your main idea more specific and focused. The strategies
in selecting a topic can also be used when you narrow down a topic.
2. E. Data Gathering is the stage where you collect ideas, information, sources and references relevant
or related to your specific topic. This can be done by visiting the library, browsing the web,
observing a certain phenomenon or event related to your topic, or conducting an interview or
survey. The data that you will gather will be very useful in making your speech informative,
entertaining or persuasive.
F. Writing patterns, in general are structures that will help you organize the ideas related to your topic.
Examples are biographical, categorical/topical, causal, chronological, comparison/contrast,
problem-solution, and spatial.
G. An outline is a hierarchical list that shows the relationship of your ideas. Experts in public speaking
state that once your outline is ready, two-thirds of your speech writing is finish.
1. Table Format
2. List Format
3. H. The body of the speech provides an explanation, examples, or any details that can help you deliver
your purpose and explain the main idea of your speech. One major consideration in developing the
body of your speech is the focus or central idea. The body of your speech should only have one
central idea.
The following are some strategies to highlight main idea:
Present real-life or practical examples
Show statistics
Present comparisons
Share ideas from the experts or practitioners
I. The introduction is the foundation of your speech. Here, your primary goal is to get the attention
of your audience and present the subject or main idea of your speech. Your first words should do
so. The following are some strategies:
Use a real life experience and connect the experience to your subject
Use practical examples and explain their connection to your subject
Start with a familiar or strong quote and then explain what it means
Use facts or statistics and highlight their importance to your subject
Tell a personal story to illustrate your point.
J. The conclusion restates the main idea of your speech. Furthermore, it provides a summary,
emphasize the message and calls for action. While the primary goal of the introduction is to get the
attention of your audience, the conclusion aims to leave the audience with a memorable statement.
The following are some strategies:
Begin your conclusion with a restatement of your message.
Use positive examples, encouraging words, or memorable lines from songs or stories
familiar to your audience.
Ask a question or series of questions that can make your audience reflect or ponder.
K. Editing/Revising your written speech involves correcting errors in mechanics, such as grammar,
punctuation, capitalization, unity, coherence and others. Andrew Dlugan (2013), an award winning
public speaker, lists six power principles for speech writing:
Edit for focus
Edit for clarity
Edit for concision
Edit for Continuity
Edit for variety
Edit for impact and beauty
L. Rehearsing gives you an opportunity to identify what works and what does not work for you and
for your target audience. Some strategies include reading your speech aloud, recording for your
own analysis or for your peers or coaches to give feedback on your delivery. The best thing to
remember at this stage is “Constant practice makes perfect”.
