In effective public speaking, one must know and understand verbal and nonverbal communication. Introduction Public speaking is defined by Merriam-Webster as “the art of effective oral communication with an audience.” It involves a single speaker who conveys information to a sizable number of individuals. This kind of communication requires the speaker to plan and prepare beforehand since the situation does not provide the intimacy that is found in one-to-one and small group interactions. This lesson will teach you how to be mindful of the verbal and nonverbal types of communication that one can use in relating with an audience. 1  English Grade 10 Unit 8: Communication Skills in Public Speaking Objective In this lesson, you should be able to recognize and use verbal and nonverbal communication. DepEd Competency At the end of this lesson, you should be able to determine the implicit and explicit signals, verbal as well as non-verbal, used by the speaker to highlight significant points (EN10LC-Ib-4, EN10LC-Ic-4).

What makes effective public speaking? Learn about It Vocabulary verbal refers to the use of words or speech in exchanging communication information with others, which involves sending (noun) messages and transmitting feelings or ideas a type of communication that involves expressing nonverbal ideas in ways that do not involve or go beyond using communication words like body language, facial expressions, and (noun) movements greatly affect the meaning and the understanding of a speaker’s message Proxemics refers to the distance between the speaker and the (noun) listener or receiver of the message Kinesics refers to the use of body language when (noun) communicating Chronemics refers to the role of time in the communication (noun) process Essential Question Why are the things that we do not say as important as the things we say? Verbal Communication The word verbal means “relating to or consisting of words.” As such, verbal communication 3  English Grade 10 Unit 8: Communication Skills in Public Speaking refers to the use of words or speech in exchanging information with others, which involves sending messages and transmitting feelings or ideas. In verbal communication, the speaker makes use of language in order to convey what he or she would like others to know or understand. For example, the words that a speaker utters while making a speech are considered verbal communication. Nonverbal Communication Nonverbal communication, on the other hand, is a type of communication that involves expressing ideas in ways that do not involve or go beyond using words. Although not spoken, nonverbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and movements greatly affect the meaning and the understanding of a speaker’s message. Below are the various types of nonverbal communication. a. Proxemics — This refers to the distance between the speaker and the listener or receiver of the message. Public distance, which is from 12 to 25 feet, is used in public speaking. b. Kinesics — This refers to the use of body language when communicating. Gestures, eye contact, movements, and facial expressions are considered kinesics. c. Chronemics — This refers to the role of time in the communication process. In public speaking, there is often a prescribed period of time at which the speaker is allowed to talk. Being late, going way over the time limit, or giving a speech that is way too short for the time given also sends a message to the audience. d. Paralanguage — This refers to the speed, volume, and tone of the speaker’s voice. Sighing, gasping, and clearing one’s throat are also considered paralanguage. e. Haptics — This refers to the use of touch in order to convey meaning while communicating with someone. In public speaking, there is often no opportunity for the speaker to use haptics because of the distance between him or her and the audience. 4  English Grade 10 Unit 8: Communication Skills in Public Speaking Effective Public Speaking Effective public speaking requires the proper use of both verbal and nonverbal communication. These two types of communication go hand in hand in conveying the speaker’s ideas and feelings about the subject matter. Let’s Check In Give specific situations that exhibit the use of verbal and nonverbal communication. Have one example for each aspect under nonverbal communication. Key Points Verbal communication refers to the use of words or speech in exchanging information with others, which involves sending messages and transmitting feelings or ideas. Nonverbal communication is a type of communication that involves expressing ideas in ways that do not involve or go beyond using words. Types of nonverbal communication include proxemics, kinesics, chronemics, paralanguage, and haptics. Check Your Understanding Identify the following statements about verbal and noverbal communication as true or false. 1. Verbal communication is a type of communication that involves expressing ideas in 5  English Grade 10 Unit 8: Communication Skills in Public Speaking ways that do not involve or go beyond using words. 2. Nonverbal communication refers to the use of words or speech in exchanging information with others, which involves sending messages and transmitting feelings or ideas. In verbal communication, the speaker makes use of language in order to convey what he or she would like others to know or understand. 3. Chronemics refers to the role of time in the communication process. 4. Haptics refers to the use of touch in order to convey meaning while communicating with someone. 5. Verbal communication is the only important aspect of effective public speaking. Write V if the situation shows verbal communication and NV if it shows nonverbal communication. 1. The speaker steps out of the lectern and comes closer to the audience before asking them questions. 2. The speaker walks a little when moving from one point to another. 3. The speaker uses a rhetorical question to start his or her speech to make the audience reflect on an idea. 4. The speaker speaks louder at important points he or she would like to emphasize. 5. The speaker uses enumeration so that he or she can identify the steps of the process effectively. Go to YouTube and look for a TED Talks video. In a paragraph, evaluate if the speaker uses effective verbal and noverbal communication. 6  English Grade 10 Unit 8: Communication Skills in Public Speaking Let’s Step Up!
