EXTEMPORANEOUS
SPEECH
Let’s Warm Up
• Group yourselves into five members each. Consider yourselves youth
ambassadors who are invited to the Malacañang Palace. Your goal is
to convince the President to act on pressing social issues in the
country.
• Talk about a social issue in the Philippines that has to be addressed
by the government as soon as possible.
• Imagine that you have a Powerpoint presentation to go along with
your speech, and that the pictures or slides are projected on the
blackboard or a blank wall in your classroom. Discuss each picture or
slide as if everyone could see it as well.
• Each member should take part in the presentation. You have 10
minutes to prepare.
Here is a sample transcript of a
presentation:
• Good day! We are here to talk about the problem of
human trafficking in the Philippines. As you can see in our
first slide (imaginary slide), the Philippines is among the
Asian countries which is involved in drug syndicates all
over the world…
• The second slide is a photo of Mary Jane Veloso after her
arrest. You can see how painful it has been for her

Definition of Extemporaneous Speech
is a planned and prepared speech.
delivered with the help of short notes and a
clear outline.
more spontaneous and personal.
 Most people who speak in public often
prefer the extemporaneous method of
delivery.
Three Steps in Studying your
Extemporaneous Topic
1. Identify the type of extemporaneous question
that you have to answer.
 Is it a question of fact?
-Typically answerable by “Yes” or “No.”
- revolves around whether something is true or
not, existent or not.
Example: Syria’s crisis a problem of the whole
world?
Is it a question of value?
- centered on whether a topic is good or bad, moral or
immoral, just or unjust.
Example: Is it better for the European nations to step in and
aid Syria or ignore the country’s civil crisis?
 Is it a question of policy?
- focused on what policy or rule should be followed.
Example: Should European countries enforce laws to
accommodate Syrian refugees?
2. Determine the purpose appropriate to
your topic.
3. Stick to your topic and look at all of the
sides and angles of the problem.
Using Notecards in Extemporaneous
Speech (franklin and Clark, 2001)
•Use keywords and phrases in writing the outline.
• Write in big font sizes that can be easily read. Do
not cram a lot of keywords in one note card.
• Number the note cards and do not staple them.
• Use color coding, highlights, or other symbols to
show which items have to be emphasized.
Advantages of Extemporaneous Speech
Franklin and Clark (2001)
• It is flexible. Speakers can make changes
and additions even during the last minute.
• The delivery does not sound rigid; rather, it
is more spontaneous and natural.
• It challenges the speaker to think on his/her
feet.
