OBSERVE THE LANGUAGE OF RESEARCH, CAMPAIGN,
AND ADVOCACIES
Name of Learner: _______________________________________________
Section: ____________________________ Date: ____________________
Background Information:
The word “research” is originated from the old French word “recerchier” which
literally means to look and search for an answer. It simply implies that research
involves a repetition of the process of searching and that the previous search is not
complete nor earlier search was not exhausted. Research in common parlance
means, “to search for knowledge.
Research is a systematic and also a scientific process. This means that it
follows specific steps and logical methods. In context, every research is a voyage of
discovery and an art of gaining knowledge.
An approach becomes systematic if it follows a scientific method and
approach. These activities warrant a systematic approach, which are:
Starts by asking a question
Identifying the important factors

Asking new questions
Formulating hypotheses
Reconsidering the theory
Working with hypotheses Collecting relevant information
Testing the hypotheses
1
As a whole, research is a careful, critical, and discipline- based in which a
method or a technique is applied based on the nature and condition of the problems
directed toward to the clarification or resolution of a problem ( Nieswiadomy & Bailey,
2018; Striger & Ortiz,2020; Vaske, 2019).
In addition, research is divided into three major types: Qualitative,
Quantitative, and Mixed methods. Quantitative research is characterized through
the use of a deductive approach aimed in proving, disproving, or lending credence to
an existing theories. This type of research involves measuring variables, testing
relationships, revealing patterns, correlation, or causal relationship (Leavy, 2017).
Qualitative research, on the other hand, involves inductive method aimed at
generating knowledge and meaning. This type of research is appropriate in
explaining, describing, and exploring. Lastly, a mixed method is a type of research
that integrates the qualitative and quantitative process (Creswell & Creswell, 2017).
In order to perform research undertakings, one must be knowledgeable of the
sources of data. There are two sources of data: Primary and Secondary Sources.
1. PRIMARY SOURCES
- original, “first hand” or “eye witness” account offering an inside view.
- new information that was created at the time of under study.
- created during or very close to the time of the events they report on.
- indirect impressions of events.
Examples:
a. diary
b. interview
c. manuscripts
d. letter
e. raw data
f. official documents
g. legislations
h. court records
i. photographs
j. journal articles
k. autobiography
l. speeches and Recording
m. creative works (novels, plays, music, art)
2. SECONDARY SOURCES
a. provide “second hand” information that has been digested, analyzed,
reworded, or interpreted.
b. often written well after the events they report on and can put past
information into its historical context.
Examples:
a. newspaper reporting on a scientific study
2
b. criticism of literature, artwork or music
c. biography
d. textbooks
e. political commentaries
f. dictionaries/encyclopedias
g. dissertations
Research, campaign, and advocacy share a common language but one must
be aware of its distinct characteristics.
Campaigns are a set of activities, planned thoroughly, which people execute

and carry out over a period of time, in order to attain something such as social or
political change.
Advocacies are planned, deliberate with a sustained effort that raise

awareness on a particular issue. It is the act of pleading or arguing in favor of
something such as a cause, idea or policy; active support.
For a clear perception of research, one should be familiar with different
terminologies or languages used in research.
1. Questionnaire – a tool or a set of questions used in gathering relative information
in a form of a questionnaire. It could be in a form of a checklist. An open-ended
question, Likert scale, or an interview.
2. Thesis Statement – a statement expressing the proposition, argument or view. It
tells the reader the main point or claim of the research paper, or of the study.
3. Hedging - the use of linguistic devices to express hesitation or uncertainty as well
as to demonstrate politeness and indirectness. (Appear to be, Suggest, Believe,
Think, Looks like, Assume, Possibly)
4. Cultural Mapping – the use of research methods and techniques, including tools
to identify, describe, portray, promote, and plan future use of particular regions’ or
cities’ combined cultural assets and resources.
5. Interviewing – a process in which the researcher’s main goal is to gather
maximum information from the respondent through conversational practice where
knowledge is produced through the interaction between an interviewer and an
interviewee.
6. APA (American Psychological Association) Style – a style of writing and
format for academic and scholarly papers. This style is the most common format in
citing sources within the field of behavioral and social sciences.
7. Literature Review – the part of the paper that discusses published information on
a particular subject area. It combines the summary, synthesis, interpretation, insights
that explains, negates, or supports the existing problem.
3
8. Plagiarism – the practice of taking someone’s work, ideas and even pictures
without proper acknowledgement of the original source.
9. IMRAD (Introduction, Method, Result, and Discussion) – the organization of

scientific articles that follows a standardized pattern.
10. Hypothesis- an assumption, supposition, or proposed explanation made on the

basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

D. Picture analysis. Below are pictures that depict the challenges and concerns that
our world is currently facing. Based on your analysis, create a short campaign in
order to address these issues. The first one is done for you.
Description: The picture depicts a

tree being cut by someone, it must be
a tree in a forest. Looking closer, we
can see that there are dead wild
animals under the tree. This then
suggests that the world is dealing with
an unprecedented hazard to wildlife.
The loss of habitat such as illegal
logging, mining, and new development
have dramatically shrunk and
destroyed the natural space available
to wildlife.
Solution (Proposed Campaign or advocacy):

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems Make an
urgent action to end poaching, illegal logging, illegal farming, and trafficking of
protected species of flora and fauna (wildlife) and address both demand and supply
of illegal wildlife

Structural Elements and Language Features of an
Argumentative Text
Name of Learner: _______________________________________________
Section: ____________________________ Date: ____________________
Are you looking for ways to state your opinion on a given issue? Then, you
need to learn how to structure an argumentative essay that combines persuasive
arguments and facts. A combination of persuasive arguments and facts will definitely
make your argumentative text convincing, effective, and powerful. An
argumentative essay presents arguments about the two sides of an issue. It could
be that both sides are presented equally balanced, or it could be that one side is
presented more forcefully than the other.
An argumentative essay attempts to be highly persuasive and logical. It
usually assumes that the reader disagrees with the writer, but it should be noted that
the reader is no less intelligent than the writer. Hence, an argumentative essay
should be written objectively and logically.
Characteristics of an Argumentative Essay

An argumentative essay has the following characteristics:
1. Presents and explains the issue or case.
2. Gives reasons and supports these reasons to prove its point.
3. Refutes (proves wrong) opposing arguments.
13
Parts of an Argumentative Essay
Introduction
The introductory paragraph
introduces the problem and gives the Exposition
background information needed for the
argument and the thesis statement.
Body Arguments
The body of the essay contains the
reasons. Each paragraph talks about one
reason. The reason is included in the topic Evidence Counter-argument Rebuttal
sentence and is supported by details or
materials. These supporting materials may
be in the form of examples, statistics,
personal experiences, or quotations.
Conclusion Restatement of Position

The conclusion restates the main
claim and gives one or two general
statements that exactly summarize the
arguments and support the main premise.
Key Structural Elements of an Argumentative Text

1. Exposition- the type of paragraph that explains about a thing, topic, or event so
that people get information about it. The purpose of an exposition is to persuade a
reader or listener by presenting one side of an argument. By taking a point of view
and justifying it, we aim to convince others to see only that side of an issue. Some
exposition might speculate as to what might be and persuade others as to what
should be.
14
2. Arguments – the part of an argumentative essay where a number of points are
generally presented. The number of arguments is flexible and varies in each
exposition. Arguments need to be logically developed and supported. It should be
justified with reasons, examples, expert evidence, and statistical information.
Frequently each argument begins with background information, followed by points
that relate back to the statement of position and then justified and elaborated. For
arguments to be as effective as possible, they should include supporting facts,
examples, tables, visual images, quotes or evidence so that they will become more
convincing. Vague terms such as the general public, or a large group, should be
used carefully, as the accuracy of these observations needs to be assessed.
3. Restatement of Positions – the part of an argumentative essay where the

argument is emphasized. The summing up of the position in the light of the argument
that has been presented reinforces the statement of position and often calls for some
type of action on the part of the audience. In order to persuade their audience in oral
FEATURE EXAMPLES
Conjunctions (or joining words) join one so, and so, because, therefore, if, and,
part of a sentence to another. They link but
the flow of the argument.
Modal verbs express the writer’s attitude can, could, should, must, might
to the topic.
Evaluative language suggests the important, best, most, truth, largest,
degree of approval or helps compare more popular
ideas.
Thinking verbs tell the reader what the know, believe, feel, people think, agreed
characters are thinking about the events
or what they were thinking at that time.
Connective words link ideas in an firstly, for that reason, for example, as a
argument consequence, because of this, in
particular, therefore, finally
presentations, students need to focus on reinforcing their statement of position.
Some arguments should be developed logically and should be supported and
justified with evidence. They should not be simply emotive and intuitive.
15
Language Features of an Argumentative Text
A. Using Modals
Remember that modals are used as auxiliary or helping verbs with special functions.
Modal verbs commonly used in the argumentative text:
Shall- indicates simple futurity and obligation.
Should - expresses past obligation.
Will - expresses simple futurity and willingness.
Would - expresses invitation or past possibility.
Might - is used in a reported speech for the past time.
May - expresses future possibilities mixed with doubt and uncertainty.
Use modals to soften your tone:
The president must lift the Use modals The president should lift
community quarantine all to soften the community quarantine
over the Philippines. your tone. all over the Philippines.
Good writers are always aware of how their arguments sound.

Certain words can help control the tone of an argument.

Learning Competency :
Identify key structural elements, e.g.:
Exposition - Statement of position, Arguments, Restatement of Positions
and language features of an argumentative text, e.g.:
modal verbs: should, must, might, and modal adverbs: usually, probably, etc.;

Activities/ Exercises:
A. Read the article below, then identify the structural elements and language
features of an argumentative text. On a separate sheet of paper, list down
your answers using the chart provided below after the text.
Online Education
Introduction
The 21st century has witnessed a revolution in various fields and sectors.
Of the various sectors, technology stands out. Online education, one of the areas
where technology has flourished, has gained popularity just as fast as the desire
for higher education has over for the past couple of decades. Usually, online
learning is recognized and opposed in various parts of the world.
Online (virtual) education is a convenient and flexible way of acquiring
higher education. Unlike the traditional approach to education where the learner
has to go to a physical campus, online programs can be pursued by anyone who
has access to an internet device from any part of the world with no need to
physically visit the institution.
Body
How could the mode of communication be limited? In most cases, emails,

chats, and online discussion groups are the main available options. However, by
effectively utilizing the available communication channels, one feels just as lively
and engaged as the traditional classroom chats and conversation. The
emergence of social media platforms further gives one a chance to engage with
classmates more closely.
Conclusion
In conclusion, access to education has become a fundamental aspect of

human life. Online learning should be a feasible, cheaper, and convenient way
through which individuals in need of education can attain their objectives. Can we
be more responsible for making online learning an efficient part of education?

B. PARTS OF AN ARGUMENT
When you write an argument, you are trying to convince your reader that your
opinion is correct. A strong argument has five key parts: Exposition, Evidence,
Counter-argument, Rebuttal, and Conclusion.
Exposition A statement of opinion. This is the topic

of your argument.
Body Part 1 - Evidence Proof or facts that support your claim.
Body Part 2 - Counter-argument An argument that your reader would
make if they disagreed with your claim.
Body Part 3 - Rebuttal Your response to the counter-argument.
Conclusion A strong restatement of the original
claim.
18
Identify the five key parts of the argumentative text, “Online Learning” and write your
answer on a separate sheet of paper.
1. Exposition ____________________________________________________
2. Body Part 1 -Evidence ___________________________________________
3. Body Part 2 -Counter-argument ____________________________________
4. Body Part 3 -Rebuttal ____________________________________________
5. Conclusion ____________________________________________________
C. SENTENCE FRAMES
When you make an argument, you are making a claim what you believe is true. For
example, you might argue that you should be allowed to have a pet dog. To make an
effective argument and to convince your reader that you are right, you will need to
provide examples or evidence that support your claim. A counter-argument is a
statement that opposes your claim.
For example, your parents or other friends might argue that a traditional
approach to learning is more effective than online learning. Address their counter-
argument and make your points stronger.
Here are some sentence frames to help you get started with your own
argument writing!
Exposition • I strongly believe…

What do you believe? • (topic) is important for many reasons…
• Everyone should...
• In my opinion...
Body Part 1 - Evidence • For example...
Give examples that support your claim. • Another reason why...
• You would agree if you knew...
• Not many people know that...
Body Part 2 - Counter-Argument • Some people say...
What might someone say if they • It may be true that...
disagreed with you?
• It’s easy to think...
19
• You might argue that...
Body Part 3 - Rebuttal • ...but I argue that...
What would you say to the person who • However, the truth is...
disagreed with you to change their mind?
• ...but when you look at the facts...
• But, the evidence shows...
Conclusion • In conclusion...
Restate your claim in a powerful way • Now you can see why...
• It is clear that...
• Therefore...
This time, write your own arguments using the sentence frames provided on
the chart above. You may opt to form your arguments in favor of the traditional
learning approach or online/virtual learning approach.

FORMULATING AN OPINION OR ASSERTION
Name of Learner: ___________________________________________________

Section: __________________________________ Date:_____________
Wherever we go, we hear people engaging in healthy debate, analysis, and discussion.
It may be about politics, social issues, sports, etc. All of us have different views and
opinions on everything. As they say, no one in this world is the same physically, mentally,
or behaviorally. In this lesson, we will know how to formulate statements of assertion and
opinion proficiently based on a set of criteria.
A. What is an assertion?
An assertion is a stylistic approach or technique involving a strong declaration,

a forceful or confident, and positive statement regarding a belief or a fact.
Types of Assertion:
1. Basic Assertion- is a simple and straightforward statement for expressing feelings,

opinions, and beliefs.
Example: When being interrupted: "Excuse me, I would like to finish what I'm
saying."
2. Emphatic Assertion- conveys sympathy to someone and usually has two parts:
the first encompasses the recognition of the feelings or situations of the other
person, and the second is a statement that shows support for the other person’s
viewpoint, feelings, or rights.
Example: “I know this is making you angry and frustrated because you have not
gotten a response yet. But I can help you by giving you an estimate of how long it
might take.”
3. I-Language Assertion- involves the first person pronoun “I,” and is useful for
expressing negative feelings.
1
Description of behavior: "When you __________,"
How it affects your life: "It affects __________,"
Describe your feelings: "and I feel __________;"
Describe your desire: "Therefore, I would like __________."
Example: "When you shout, it affects my work and I feel angry. Therefore, I
would like you to stop shouting and tell me what you want."
B. What is an opinion?
Opinions are statements that express a writer’s feelings, attitudes, or

beliefs. They are neither true nor false. They are one person’s view about a topic
or issue.
Words to Identify Opinions:
1. Biased Words (bad, worse, worst, good, better, best, worthwhile, worthless, etc.)
2. Qualifiers (all, always, likely, never, might, seem, possibly, probably, should, etc.)
Common Phrases in Formulating an Opinion
Examples:
1. I think people should just follow the protocols of the Department of Health to avoid
contracting the virus.
2. From my point of view, actively engaging in an online class is still worthwhile,
because we can still interact with our teacher and classmates amidst the pandemic.
2
What is the difference between assertion and opinion?
ASSERTION OPINION
It aims to let the readers feel It is a belief or judgment that

that they should not disagree falls short of absolute
or dispute what they have read VS conviction. It is usually based
or heard. Rather, they should on feeling or emotion rather
accept the idea or notion as an than reason where others are
indisputable fact. free to either disagree or
agree.

are the claims of fact, value, and policy.

WRITING AN EXPOSITION
Name of Learner: ___________________________________________________

Section: _________________________________ Date:___________________
Background Information
Writing is a form of communication where we can easily and clearly communicate our
thoughts and feelings. It’s a channel where we can express ourselves so others can
understand who we are and what we stand for. Writing as they always say is a cognitive
activity where we can learn and synthesize new information. It has the power to influence
other people by clearly getting our point across concisely and effectively. Once we have
developed that skill of expressing ourselves through writing, we can be more successful in
persuading and influencing others.
This lesson will tackle the whats and hows of exposition writing. Exposition aims to
enlighten and instruct by simply presenting an idea, relevant evidence and appropriate
discussion. In writing exposition, we give our readers a basis for understanding a particular
story or a piece of literature.
What is exposition?
Exposition is the act of demonstrating the knowledge and expertise of the author or writer
on a certain topic. According to the online Oxford Dictionaries, “exposition is a
comprehensive description and explanation of an idea or theory.” It is derived from the Latin
verb exponere, which means “to put out, exhibit, or explain.”
Purpose of an Exposition
To present one side of an argument and to persuade the reader or listener to agree or to
take action to solve the problem.
Exposition or arguments can be presented as:
• essays
• editorials
• letters to the editor
• speeches
3
Methods for writing an Expository Essay
There are few different methods for writing an expository essay. These include:
1. Compare and contrast - a type of expository writing that points out the similarities
and/or differences between two things, such as historical periods, people, or
phenomena. In some compare and contrast essays, there is a focus on similarities; in
others, the focus is more on the differences. In others, the similarities and differences
are discussed evenly.
2. Cause and effect- a type of expository writing that explains the circumstances
leading to an event or a situation. It may also predict what will happen as a result of a
current situation.
3. Problem and solution- a type of expository writing that presents an issue and
proposes a possible solution. It is a format that is extremely helpful when writing
about a current event or pervasive problem.
4. Extended definition- a type of expository writing that attempts to explain a complex
term. Some terms may be confusing and difficult to understand that an extended
discussion is vital for the success of your report.
Language features
An exposition or argument includes particular language features. Be sure to include some of

these features in your exposition.
Feature Example
Conjunctions (or joining words) join one so, and so, because, therefore, if, and, but
part of a sentence to another. They link the
flow of the argument.
Modal verbs express the writer’s attitude to can, could, should, must, might
the topic.
Evaluative languages suggest the degree important, best, most, truth, largest, more
of approval or help compare ideas. popular
Thinking verbs tell the reader what the know, believe, feel, people think, agreed
person or the characters are thinking about
the events or what they were thinking at the
time,
Connective words link ideas in an firstly, for that reason, for example, as a
argument. consequence, because of this, in particular,
therefore, finally
Structure of an Exposition:
There are three main parts of an exposition.
1. Statement of position
Introduce the topic and make it clear what your position is. You need:
• a strong opening sentence that provokes your reader's interest or captures your reader's
attention.
• an overview of your thesis (or argument) on the topic and the points you will make. Provide
a brief outline of the key points to be covered by your argument. This gives your reader a
4
preview of where you are going to take them. This also enables you to show the reader that
your exposition is structured logically.
2. Argument
In this section you can make a number of points. Begin each paragraph with a key statement
or general statement. Give supporting reasons in the rest of the paragraph. Then, make a
new point in the opening sentence of the next paragraph and give supporting reasons, and
so on.
3. Reinforcement of the statement of position /Sum up your argument.
You could make a statement about what you see as a solution to the problem or what might
happen if the situation is not resolved. You could call for some form of action from the
audience.
TAKE NOTE: Expository writing can be a challenge, especially if you have no idea on how
to start. Graphic organizers are a powerful tool that you can use to help you organize your
ideas and come up with a plan. It is necessary to create an outline before writing the main
text.
Learning Competency
Write an exposition or discussion on a familiar issue to include key structural

elements and language features.

1. Today, most people recognize cultural diversity and contend it as an intrinsic

good. Cultural diversity can be defined as the difference among individuals as
well as groups involving the place of origin, age, culture, languages and physical
abilities. Moreover, factors such as gender, class, religion, professional
occupation and academic knowledge can also be considered. Notably,
organizations should not only pay attention to the definition of diversity in the
workplace only because of its scope. Therefore, the issue of cultural diversity
should be addressed from various angles to ensure that it is understood by
everyone. (An Analysis of Cultural Diversity and Why Does it Matter)

2. Cultural diversity has displayed extensive the complex consequences.
Concerning the positive effects, it is possible for one to generate arguments
about its valuable contribution to the society. Firstly, about the long-term
perspective, it is evident that all the positive impacts contribute to sustainable
differentiation by developing higher creativity, innovation, as well as productivity.
At the same time, cultural diversity has its shortcomings. The negative effects of
cultural diversity can be classified into various levels in an organization. Adverse
impacts on the cognitive as well as behavioral level can be associated with
individuals. While at team levels, the negative effects may manifest themselves
into the problems of communication. (An Analysis of Cultural Diversity and Why

3. Another potential reason why the total number of gangs and gang members
keeps increasing is because a great majority of crimes they commit usually goes
unreported. As a result, government officials find it difficult to gather exact data
about this growing issue. Youth gang members primarily focus on their peers,
bully them, and force them to say nothing in order to avoid harsher
consequences. (The Rise of Teenage Gangs and Their Consequences)

4. “Obesity has become a common condition in the United States. According to

CDC (2018), 36.5% of U.S. adults are obese. Since obesity is a serious and
very costly problem, experts seek to understand the reasons for the condition.
Researchers point out to genetics as a major precondition for obesity (Gillman
& Kleinman, 2007). There is ample evidence that offsprings of obese parents
are likely to be obese compared to their peers whose parents are not
overweight (Bouchard et al., 1990). Also, there is an opinion that the lack of
food culture leads to obesity. Unfortunately, many people become addicted to
the junk food that is cheap and “hyperpalatable” (Avena, Rada, & Hoebel,
2008). People eat unhealthy products for various reasons, but mainly because
they are not fully aware that consumption of junk food is a harmful habit, the
long-term consequences of which are hard to predict. In addition to the
mentioned reasons, individuals become obese because recently there has been
a dramatic increase in food availability. People no longer need to visit grocery
stores to replenish their supplies. These days, food is everywhere: on the
street, gas stations, and even on the internet…” (Reasons for Obesity)

5. “Scaffolding teaching practices are gaining momentum in academia. Experts

define scaffolding as “a process through which a teacher adds support for
students in order to enhance learning and aid in the mastery of task”(Iris
Center, 2018). Educators have developed a range of approaches to
instructional scaffolding. Obviously, the most commonly used one is the “show
and tell” approach. In it, an instructor demonstrates to students what they are
expected to do. Noteworthy, this approach involves a number of strategies,
including the fishbowl activity and think aloud techniques. Another popular
scaffolding approach is about giving students time to discuss what they have
learned. The logic behind this approach is simple: students need time to
articulate and make sense of what they have understood. In addition to the
mentioned scaffolding practices, teachers make use of the pre-teach
vocabulary, tapping into prior knowledge and utilization of visual aids
techniques. Each of these approaches has distinctive advantages, thereby
requires in-depth examination.” (What is Scaffolding Teaching)

Techniques in Public Speaking
Name of learner____________________________________________________________
Section: ________________________________________________ Date: ____________
Public speaking is a form of oral communication that involves a speaker who delivers
an informative or persuasive message in front of a big audience (Sipacio and Balgos 2016).
Since it is a form of oral communication, thoughts are transmitted by the speaker to the
receiver through spoken words (Gupit 1986). This definition of public speaking specifies but is
not limited to the following elements:
1. Speaker. It pertains to the person who uses his/her voice and non-verbal cues such
as eye contact, facial expression, body movements, and gestures to convey his/her
message in front of an audience.
2. Message. It refers to the organized thoughts, information, and ideas delivered
verbally and shown non-verbally by the speaker. In public speaking, the message aims
to inform the audience about a particular issue or to convince the listeners to do a
particular action (Sipacio and Balgos 2016 p.31)
3. Audience. The members of the audience are the receivers of the speech in public
speaking.
4. Channel. It refers to the medium used by the speaker to deliver the message to the
audience. Unlike in other forms of interpersonal communication that includes two to 11
members, public speaking involves “more exaggerated” channels (Hybels and Weaver
in Sipacio and Balgos 2016 p.33) because the speaker interacts with a bigger audience.
These channels can be non-verbal, visual, and auditory (Amadebai 2020)
• Non-verbal channels include gestures, facial expressions, body movements,
and physical posture.
• Visual channels refer to diagrams, drawings, graphics, photographs, videos,
or objects.
• Auditory channels include tone of voice, distinctions in voice volume, and
audio materials.
When delivering a prepared speech in public, the speaker may use a variety of
channels to assist him/her in effectively sending his/her message across the listeners.
However, in delivering an impromptu talk before a crowd, the choice of a channel may
be limited to the non-verbal and auditory types since there are no advanced
preparations given to the speaker.
5. Context refers to the physical setting and time in which the event happens.
13
Public speaking is considered as the “cornerstone of communication for generations”

(Gupit 1986 pg. 5) for it allows one person to personally reach a large audience at the
same time and space.
Given its wide scope and reach, speaking in front of a large number of people can
pose emotional discomfort on or can result in physiological reactions from the speaker. The
reality of speaking in front of several people who have varying opinions and expectations can
induce anxieties and fear. However, these feelings of apprehension, which can be shown
through stuttering or trembling, can be moderated or overcome given the proper mental
conditioning, attitude, and preparation. The succeeding paragraphs present some strategies
that will assist you in delivering a speech in public.
Techniques for Effective Public Speaking
1. Consider the speech requirement.
As a student who will be asked to deliver a speech, it is crucial for you to be
knowledgeable about your purpose in speaking and the type of delivery that will be required.
The purpose of the speech, whether to inform or to persuade will determine the message that
you need to prepare and the sources of information you have to seek. Moreover, your aim in
speaking will influence the tone of your speech.
For instance, if you will be asked to speak in front of your batch mates with the intention
of convincing them to register to vote this coming 2022 elections, then you need to have a firm
position about it. If you believe that registering to vote is necessary, then you must gather
statistics and research-supported information (e.g. the importance of elections, the basic rights
that inform the voting policy in the country, and the effects of low voter turnout on the welfare
of the citizens) from credible sources to establish your position and eventually win the
agreement of your audience. Since it is an important topic that requires serious attention, the
tone of your speech can be analytical; at the same time, it can be polite since you are talking
to people your age.
Knowing whether you will be given time to rehearse is another consideration because
this will inform your delivery and pace in terms of your preparation. To illustrate this, if you will
be asked to deliver an impromptu speech, you do not have the luxury of doing extensive
research about your topic and of preparing visual channels that will enhance your speech, so
you need to adjust accordingly to ensure that your message will still be properly articulated
despite the parameters set.
2. Know your audience.
Public speaking is not about verbalizing the written speech, it is about relaying your
message through your connection with the audience. Connection with the audience can be
bridged through an understanding of the profile of the listeners. Thus, as a speaker, you need
to know their demographic information and psychology so that you can customize your content
and delivery based on the needs and interests of your audience.
• Demographic information includes age range, male-female ratio, educational
background and affiliations, nationality, economic status (Sipacio and Balgos 2016 p.
61)
• Psychology consists of their values, beliefs, attitudes, preferences, and ideologies
(Sipacio and Balgos 2016 p. 61).
3. Organize your material.
14
Whether you are delivering a prepared talk or an impromptu speech, your material
should have a structure or an outline—beginning, middle, and closing sections.
As recommended by the Toastmasters International as cited in Purdue Global (2020),
you may begin by posing a query, narrating a story, giving a preview of the material, or
providing a concise yet relevant quotation that will incite the interest of the audience. North
(2020) states that it is important to grab the attention of the audience in the first 30 seconds of
your speech. It is also in this part where you need to state the main point of your speech.
The middle part is reserved for the explanation of your main point through the
enumeration of shreds of evidence or credible information.
You may end your speech by leaving a takeaway, reflective question, or a challenge
to the audience. Make sure that your conclusion relates back to your introduction.
4. Practice.
Knowledge of the content is imperative, but it does not guarantee its successful
delivery. Hence, you should rehearse before the event for optimum outcomes. As you practice,
you may
• work on your pacing, pauses, and pronunciation;
• record your voice using an audio recording device to help you review and assess your
initial performance; and
• rehearse in front of a mirror to help you monitor your eye contact, facial expression,
body movements, and gestures.
5. Use voice and gestures judiciously.
The greatest tool a speaker can have is his/her voice (Toastmaster International 2020).
This implies that the voice is the primary medium through which a speaker can communicate
his/her message to his/her audience. Not only does the voice transmit the knowledge in your
head, but it also reflects the content of your heart and your personality. Hence, you should
train your voice to suit the message you want to impart and the image you want to leave your
audience. You may do this by working on the volume, pitch, pace or speed, pauses, vocal
variety, and pronunciation (Sipacio and Balgos 2016 p. 84).
Aside from the oral component, you should also be mindful of your eye contact, facial
expression, body movements, and gestures as these may emphasize or clarify your message,
or distract the audience from listening. There are some dos and don’ts in the use of these non-
verbal cues, but the basic principles are (Toastmasters International 2020):
• Refrain from doing distracting mannerisms such as swaying, rocking, frowning, biting
the lips, and fixing the hair.
• Respond naturally without overdoing your gestures and facial expressions.
• Believe in your message for it is the key to acting “natural and spontaneous” (p. 7).
6. Employ appropriate language.

Public speaking is not about flaunting the wealth of your vocabulary, although it
involves linguistic skill for accurate expression. It requires a connection with the audience that
can be established through the use of a language that is appropriate to the need of the
15
audience. As a case in point, if your audience is composed of a group of scientists or

representatives from the medical field, the use of technical terms such as mutation,
immunosuppression, cytokine storm syndromes to present the scope, threat, and treatment of
COVID-19 may be warmly appreciated and easily grasped. However, delivering the same
topic using the same technical terms without clear illustration and explanation to a different
set of audience may not yield the same reaction.
Take note that English is not the only language that can be used to speak in public.
Our Filipino, Kapampangan, or Ayta Mag-Antsi languages can be employed depending on the
public speaking situation and demand. But for skills improvement in this English subject, you
will be eventually asked to deliver a speech using the English language.
7. Conduct a survey of the environment.
To help you become confident during your speech delivery, you may find it useful to
know the context. Inspect the venue and know the time and occasion of your presentation
and the size of the audience ahead of time. It may also be beneficial for you to come earlier
than your schedule so that you can practice standing at the podium or can do a microphone
test. An awareness of these details may help you adjust for better performance. If you will be
delivering a speech in a cool, small-sized auditorium with reliable acoustics in place, then you
will not feel the urge to strain your voice or make excessive movements to be seen and heard
by the audience.
8. Watch for/ask for feedback.
Use your eyes to monitor visual feedback during your actual speech delivery. If you
see that there are members of the audience whose heads are bowed or whose eyes are fixed
somewhere else, then these may mean that you have to make necessary modifications with
the way you speak or conduct yourself in front.
After your presentation depending on the formality of the occasion, you may ask for
feedback from your classmates or teacher. You may even learn from the comments in your
rubric so that you may improve in the areas identified.
This is not an exhaustive list of techniques to help you become an effective public
speaker. You may find more specific tips on the reference page found on the last page of this
material.
Public speaking is not just an opportunity for your voice to be heard, it is also a skill
that can be developed over a while with excellent practice, and reflective experience, so do
not fret if you do not get every aspect right the first time.

Compose Texts which Include Multimodal Elements
Name of Learner: _____________________________________________________

Section: __________________________________________ Date: ____________
Through semiotics (how meaning is created through signs and symbols), one is able
to comprehend simple printed texts. But not all texts are simple, in fact, many texts are
multimodal in nature. Learning about the different modes and the recognition of the
interconnections between and among them reflect the diversity in languages and cultures
within our daily environment.
Multimodal Texts
Multimodal texts are a combination of two or more modes such as written and spoken
language (also known as linguistic modes), and patterns of meaning such as visual (still and
moving image), audio, gestural, and spatial meaning (The New London Group, 2000; Cope
and Kantzis, 2009). Below are further definitions of these modes:
• Linguistic: vocabulary, structure, grammar of oral/written language

• Visual: color, vectors and viewpoint in still and moving images
• Audio: volume, pitch and rhythm of music and sound effects
• Gestural: movement, facial expression and body language
• Spatial: proximity, direction, position of layout, organization of objects in space.
Types of Multimodal Texts
The common platform for multimodal texts is digital, but they may also be in the
traditional form – printed. Listed are the three types of multimodal texts:
1. Printed multimodal texts – include picture books, textbooks, graphic novels, comics,
and posters, where meaning is conveyed to the reader through varying combinations
of visual (still image) written language, and spatial modes.
2. Live multimodal texts – include dances, performances, and oral storytelling, which
convey meaning through combinations of modes such as gestural, spatial, spoken
language, and audio.
3. Digital multimodal texts – include films, animation, slide shows, e-posters, digital
stories, and web pages which convey meaning through combinations of written and
spoken language, visual (still and moving image), audio, gestural and spatial modes.
Printed and live multimodal texts are also known in the form of simple multimodal texts
due to the simplicity of their production, while digital multimodal texts are known in the form of
complex multimodal texts due to the complexity of its reproduction.
Young people need to be able to communicate effectively in an increasingly multimodal

world. This requires learning how to comprehend and compose meaning across diverse, rich,
and potentially complex, forms of multimodal text, and to do so using a range of different
meaning modes.
2
Reading and Viewing Digital and Multimodal Texts
When reading or viewing a text, one needs to have the skills and understandings of
how to read or view. There are conventions involved in viewing and reading multimodal and
digital texts and these often involve viewer or reader choice. In a digital text, you need to
discover how the visuals work with the text to create meaning for the viewer.
Texts, in general, have three main purposes: to inform, entertain, and to persuade.

The image on the left is an

example of a standard scholarly book
in a print edition. This text relies
primarily on the linguistic mode. In
other words, it is made up primarily of
letters and words. However, because
most texts are multimodal in some
sense, there are at least three modes
at work in this example.
1. The linguistic mode operates in the
printed written text.
2. The visual mode operates in the
formatting of the text (such as the use
of fully justified margins) and in the
choice of typography (such as the
different fonts used for the chapter
title and the use of brackets around
the chapter title).
3. The spatial mode can be seen in
the text’s arrangement (such as the
placement of the epigraph from
Francis Bacon’s Advancement of
Learning at the top right and wrapping
of the paragraph around it).
3
Creating Multimodal Texts
The creation of multimodal texts enables people to explore the function of language in
connection to the essential information around them. Listed are ways to create meaningful
and relevant multimodal text in school:
• creating posters, newsletters, brochures, or blogs with sections translated into home
languages, or headings, captions, and diagrams labeled in English and home
languages. Students can also add glossaries or translations of key terms;
• creating comics with captions and speech bubbles written in English and home
language, as appropriate for the purpose, and audience. This could include different
scripts in illustrated scenes and ‘sound effects’. Particular characters may also speak
a combination of English and another language or dialect;
• creating translations of popular picture books, their own or their classmates’ stories to
contribute to the classroom library, making sure that meaning is not lost in translation.
This could include using metaphors in their home languages that approximate the
meaning in the English text;
• creating slideshows that include translated vocabulary, explanations or pronunciation
guides;
• creating content for social media. Learners could be typing in different scripts or
transliterating the sounds of their language using English script in social media. Social
media users create and access videos, music, stories, and memes in a range of
languages;
• creating multilingual resources for the school community including signage, welcome
packs, teaching, and learning resources.
PRACTICE PATTERNS OF MEANING: Now it’s time to practice your patterns of

meaning.
1. Which of the five modes is represented by the image below?
Gestural: The crossing

B. Multimodal Roundup Exercise: Here is an example of an informative multimodal
essay. Read and analyze the article from the New York Times and answer the
questions below.
What China Has Been Building in the South China Sea?
by Derek Watkins
(Updated: October 27, 2015)
China has been rapidly piling sand onto reefs in the South China Sea, creating seven
new islets in the region. It is straining geopolitical tensions that were already taut.
The speed and scale of China’s island-building spree have alarmed other countries
with interests in the region. China announced in June that the creation of islands — moving
sediment from the seafloor to a reef — would soon be completed. Since then, China has
focused its efforts on construction. So far it has constructed port facilities, military buildings
and an airstrip on the islands, with recent imagery showing evidence of two more airstrips
under construction. The installations bolster China’s foothold in the Spratly Islands, a disputed
scattering of reefs and islands in the South China Sea more than 500 miles from the Chinese
mainland.
China’s activity in the Spratlys is a major point of contention between China and the
United States and was a primary topic of discussion between President Obama and President
Xi Jinping of China during the Chinese president’s visit to the White House in September. On
Monday, the United States sent a Navy destroyer near the islands, entering the disputed
waters.
Sources: C.I.A., NASA, China Maritime Safety Administration
The new islands allow China to harness a portion of the sea for its own use that has
been relatively out of reach until now. Although there are significant fisheries and possible
large oil and gas reserves in the South China Sea, China’s efforts serve more to fortify its
territorial claims than to help it extract natural resources, said Mira Rapp-Hooper, formerly the
director of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies, a Washington research group.

Though too small to support large military units, the islands will enable sustained
Chinese air and sea patrols of the area. The United States has reported spotting Chinese
mobile artillery vehicles in the region, and the islands could allow China to exercise more
control over fishing in the region.
Several reefs have been destroyed outright to serve as a foundation for new islands,
and the process also causes extensive damage to the surrounding marine ecosystem. Frank
Muller-Karger, professor of biological oceanography at the University of South Florida, said
sediment “can wash back into the sea, forming plumes that can smother marine life and could
be laced with heavy metals, oil and other chemicals from the ships and shore facilities being
built.” Such plumes threaten the biologically diverse reefs throughout the Spratlys, which Dr.
Muller-Karger said may have trouble surviving in sediment-laden water.
Sediment is broken up and sucked from the seabed.

Material is transported through a floating pipe.
Dredged material is deposited on the reef.
Anchor pole Submerged reef Ocean floor.
The Chinese were relative latecomers to island building in the Spratly archipelago, and
“strategically speaking, China is feeling left out,” said Sean O’Connor, principal imagery
analyst for IHS Jane’s. Still, China’s island building has far outpaced similar efforts in the area,
unsettling the United States, which has about $1.2 trillion in bilateral trade go through the
South China Sea every year. Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter criticized China’s actions in
the region in May, asserting that, “The United States will fly, sail and operate wherever
international law allows, as we do all around the world.” The United States reinforced that
assertion on Monday and angered the Chinese when it sent the Lassen, a guided-missile
destroyer, within 12 nautical miles of the islands, the conventional limit for territorial waters.
According to statements from David Shear, the top Pentagon official in charge of Asia and the
Pacific, the last time the United States sent ships or aircraft that close to the islands was in
2012.
8
What Is on the Islands?
Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan have all expanded islands in the
Spratlys as well, but at nowhere near the same scale as China.
For China, the Fiery Cross Reef is the most strategically significant new island, with an
airstrip that is long enough to allow China to land any plane, from fighter jets to large transport
aircraft. But China’s airstrip is not the first in the region — every other country that occupies
the Spratlys already operates one as well.
China’s reefs hosted smaller structures for years before the surge in construction. By
preserving these initially isolated buildings, China can claim that it is merely expanding its
earlier facilities, similar to what other countries have done elsewhere in the region.
In recent months, China has nearly completed two of its largest island building projects,
at Mischief Reef and Subi Reef. Current imagery shows that China has likely started building
airstrips on long, straight sections of each of those islands, which would give the country three
airstrips in the area.
