How well can you
adjust your manner of
speaking when
confronted with various
situations?
CONNECTING LIVES
Consider this situation: A student received
academic recognition from the school. How do
you think a supportive parent would speak to
the child? Would others, such as a friend or a
teacher, speak to the child in the same manner?
Copy and use the table below to create possible
dialogues between the following: student-parent,
student-friend, and student-teacher.
Brainstorm on what each one would say to
the student. Work with a partner.
ACT IT OUT
In a two-minute role play, present the
dialogue you have written to the
class. Decide which among the three
situations you will portray:
1)student and parent,
2) student and teacher, and
3) student and friend. ROLE PLAY RUBRIC

The 5 Different
Types of Speech
Styles
The 5 Different
Types of Speech Styles
1. Frozen Style (or Fixed speech)

A speech style is characterized by the use of certain grammar and


vocabulary particular to a certain field, one in which the speaker
is inserted. The language in this speech style is very formal and
static, making it one of the highest forms of speech styles. It’s
usually done in a format where the speaker talks and the audience
listens without actually being given the space to respond.

Application: It’s generally reserved for formal settings such as


important ceremonies (for instance, a ceremony at the royal
palace or one in which a country’s president is present), weddings,
funerals, etc.

Examples: a presidential speech, an anthem, and a school creed.

2. Formal Style
This style, just like the previous one, is also characterized by a formal
(agreed upon and even documented) vocabulary and choice of words,
yet it’s more universal as it doesn’t necessarily require expertise in any
field and it’s not as rigid as the frozen style.
The language in this speech is respectful and rejects the use of slang,
contractions, ellipses and qualifying modal adverbials. Oftentimes the
speaker must plan the sentences before delivering them.

Application: Although it’s often used in writing, it also applies to


speaking, especially to medium to large-sized groups. It’s also the type
of speech that should be used when communicating with strangers and
others such as older people, elders, professionals, and figures of
authority.

Examples: meetings (corporate or other formal meetings), court, class,


interview, speech, or presentation.

3. Consultative Style
The third level of communication it’s a style
characterized by a semi-formal vocabulary, often
unplanned and reliant on the listener’s responses and
overall participation.

Application: any type of two-way communication,


dialogue, whether between two people or more, where
there’s no intimacy or any acquaintanceship.

Examples: group discussions, teacher-student


communication, expert-apprentice, communication
between work colleagues or even between employer-
employee, and talking to a stranger.

Types of Speech Styles
4. Casual Style (or Informal Style)
As the name says, this style is characterized by its
casualty, with a flexible and informal vocabulary that
may include slang. It’s usually unplanned, pretty relaxed,
and reliant on the fluid back and forth between those
involved, without any particular order.

Application: used between people with a sense of


familiarity and a relatively close relationship, whether in
a group or in a one-on-one scenario.

Examples: chats with friends and family, casual phone


calls, or text messages.

5. Intimate Style
This is the speech style that’s reserved for people who
have a really close connection. It’s casual and relaxed and
goes beyond words, as it incorporates nonverbal
communication and even personal language codes, such
as terms of endearment and expressions whose meaning
are only understood by the participants, besides slang.

Application: used between people who share an intimate


bond.

Examples: chats between best friends, boyfriend and


girlfriend, siblings and other family members, whether in
messages, phone calls, or personally.

groups. Each group will be assigned
