English 10 Module
I. Introduction
Rationale
Gerald R. Ford once said, “Nothing in life is more important than the ability to
communicate effectively.” As a 21st century learner, you need to be equipped with
knowledge and skills in speech delivery so that you can cope up with the challenges
in the society. Studying skills in speech delivery will lead you to enhance your critical
thinking skills, reduce speaking anxiety and boost your self-confidence, improve your
communication skills, empower yourself to be a leader and help you to get hired and
advance in your career in the future.
In your previous years in school, your teachers might have given you
opportunities to speak in front of your classmates to report, to deliver a speech, or to
recite a poem. However, you might have experienced anxiety before speaking in front
of an audience and that is a common fear. The good news is that delivering a speech
is a skill which you can learn.
This module will serve as your companion which will help you continuously
learn new things such as public speaking even if you are at home. Generally, the
activities and exercises will guide you to deliver a prepared or impromptu talk on
an issue employing the techniques in public speaking. At the end of this module
you are expected to:
• differentiate manuscript from impromptu speech
• apply the techniques of effective speech delivery through the manuscript
method
• deliver an impromptu speech employing the techniques in public
speaking
To achieve the last two of the three expectations above, you need the aid of an
audience (member/s of your family or friend/s) who will listen to you and evaluate your
performance using the assessment rubrics provided in this module.

My Strengths My Weaknesses
What have you discovered about yourself as a speaker? If you have more
weaknesses than strengths and you are still afraid to deliver a speech, don’t worry.
The following information will guide you.
There are varied methods of speech delivery. In this module, you will be
familiarized with the prepared/manuscript and impromptu speech delivery. How do
they differ from each other?
The manuscript or prepared speech is written and the speaker reads it word for
word to the audience. In this method, the speaker will not miss anything. However, the
audience might be bored because of the monotony of the process.

When delivering a speech, you can use the following public speaking
techniques:
Here are five areas on which to focus as you plan, practice, and present:
13
* Scratching parts of the body * Looking at the ceiling
The most important rule for making your body communicate effectively is to
be yourself. The emphasis should be on the sharing of ideas, not on the performance.
Strive to be as genuine and natural as you are when you speak to family members
and friends.
If you are interested in your subject, truly believe what you are saying, and
want to share your message with others, your physical movements will come from
within you and will be appropriate to what you are saying. By involving yourself in your
message, you will be natural and spontaneous without having to consciously think
about what you are doing or saying.
To become an effective speaker, it is essential that you share your true
feelings with your audience. Your audience wants to know how you feel about your
subject. If you want to convince others, you must convey your convictions. Speak from
the heart and to the soul.
As a speaker, nothing influences your mental attitude more than the knowledge
that you are thoroughly prepared. This knowledge leads to self- confidence, which is
a vital ingredient of effective public speaking. How many of you have ever experienced
a situation in which you had not prepared well for a presentation? How did you come
across? On the other hand, think of those presentations that did go well. These are
the ones for which you were properly prepared.
B. Facial Expressions
A speaker realizes that appropriate facial expressions are an important part
of effective communication. In fact, facial expressions are often the key determinant
of the meaning behind the message. People watch a speaker’s face during a
presentation. When you speak, your face -more clearly than any other part of your
body -communicates to others your attitudes, feelings, and emotions.
C. Eye Contact
Eye contact is the cement that binds together speakers and their
audiences. The saying, “The eyes are the mirror of the soul, ” underlines the need for
you to convince people with your eyes, as well as your words.
Eye contact can also help to overcome nervousness by making your
audience a known quantity. Effective eye contact is an important feedback device that
14
makes the speaking situation a two-way communication process. By looking at your
audience, you can determine how they are reacting.
When you develop the ability to gauge the audience’s reactions and adjust
your presentation accordingly, you will be a much more effective speaker. The
following supporting tips will help you to be more confident and improve your ability to
make eye contact:
1. Know your material. Know the material so well that you do not have to
devote your mental energy to the task of remembering the sequence of ideas and
words.
2. Prepare well and rehearse enough so that you do not have to depend too
heavily on notes. Many speakers, no matter how well prepared, need at least a few
notes to deliver their message. If you can speak effectively without notes, by all means
do so. But if you choose to use notes, they should be only a delivery outline, using key
words. Notes are not a substitute for preparation and practice.
4. Monitor visual feedback. While you are talking, your listeners are
responding with their own nonverbal messages. Use your eyes to actively seek out
this valuable feedback. If individuals aren’t looking at you, they may not be listening
either. Make sure they can hear you. Then work to actively engage them.
D. Modulation
Voice modulation is one of the most powerful weapons that you can have in
your arsenal while delivering a speech. Not only does it reflect confidence but it also
helps in convincing your audience about your beliefs or ideas. This is the power that
voice modulation commands over people! Therefore, to become a master public
speaker one must learn the art of voice modulation.
Here are a few tips:
1. The pitch: While delivering a speech, the pitch of your voice plays an
important part. Try to lower your voice slightly because due to microphones shrill
voices can cause a bit of annoyance.
2. Speak slowly: Another thing to be kept in mind is to speak slowly while
delivering a speech! Speaking slowly helps get your point across to your audience. So
remember to speak slowly and clearly.
3. Stress on certain words: To add a bit of impact in your speech, it’s advised
to stress on certain powerful words. You can even vary the intensity of your voice to
add a powerful impact to your speech and grab the attention of your audience.
15
E. Your Appearance Matters
Post Activities
A. Remember Me?
Choose the appropriate word from the word pool to complete the ideas. Write your
answers in your answer sheet.
16
1. A ___________ is a speech delivery type which is written out completely and read

3. In order to get a positive first impression, begin your speech by standing

5. Avoid distracting ___________ like moving back and forth, leaning on the podium,
adjusting hair or clothing, biting or licking your lips, scratching parts of your body,
frowning and other unnecessary movements.
6. Avoid having a poker face or a highly animated face. These ________ expressions
may appear distracting or annoying. Instead, wear a smile. On the other hand,
make sure that your speech reflects your facial expressions; do not smile if you are
discussing something sad.
7. Make use of the ___________ style which is more natural just like how you
converse with your family members or friends. Strive to be as authentic and
genuine as yourself.

B. Check It Out
Below is an excerpt from the Inaugural Address of His Excellency Diosdado
Macapagal. Practice speaking in front of the mirror so you can evaluate and improve
your postures, gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, voice modulation,
pronunciation etc. Then ask your family member to listen and evaluate your
performance using the rubric below and seek for useful feedback that can help you
improve your speech performance. (Kindly use a separate sheet of paper for the rating
and comments of your audience.)
It is incorrect to say that we are out to solve all the problems of the
Nation. No President can do that. Nation-building is an exacting and
endless endeavor. No President can build the whole edifice of a nation. All
that he is called upon to do, is to add a fine stone to that edifice, so that
those who shall come after him may add other fine stones that will go for
a strong and enduring structure. I stress anew that a stone that we are
17
assigned to contribute to the edifice of a greater Philippines is, first, to
attend to a such short-range problems as sufficiency in the staple food of
the people, and more employment, and, second, to undertake a long-
range task of moral renaissance and the implementation of a socio-
economic blueprint which, although not immediately achieving prosperity,
will lead to that prosperity for all our people.
