Different Types of Speeches according to PURPOSE
The four basic types of speech according to purpose are: to inform, to instruct, to
entertain, and to persuade. These are not mutually exclusive of one another. You may
have several purposes in mind when giving your presentation.
However, the principle purpose of a speech will generally fall into one of four
basic types:
1. INFORMATIVE
This speech serves to provide interesting and useful information to your audience.
Example:
A teacher telling students about earthquakes
3
A student talking about her research
2. DEMONSTRATIVE
This has many similarities with an informative speech. A demonstrative speech
also teaches you something. The main difference lies in including a demonstration of
how to do the thing you’re teaching.
Example:
How to start your own blog
How to bake a cake
How to write a speech
How to… just about anything
3. PERSUASIVE
A persuasive speech works to convince people to change in some way: they think,
the way they do something, or to start doing something that they are not currently doing.
Example:
Become an organ donor
Improve your health through better eating
4. ENTERTAINING
The after-dinner speech is a typical example of an entertaining speech. The
speaker provides pleasure and enjoyment that make the audience laugh or identify with
anecdotal information.
Example:
Excuses for any occasion
Explaining cricket to an American
Things you wouldn’t know without the movies

TOPIC 2: MODES OF DELIVERY
Speeches are always used in different occasions – from family gatherings to school affairs
and more. As a good speaker, you have also to know your audience, the occasions and
the topic as well as the type of speech you are going to make.

Types of Speeches according to DELIVERY
1. IMPROMPTU SPEAKING
It is the presentation of a short message without advance preparation.
Impromptu speeches often occur when someone is asked to “say a few words” or give a
toast on a special occasion.
The advantage of this kind of speaking is that it’s spontaneous and responsive in
an animated group context. The disadvantage is that the speaker is given little or no time
to contemplate the central theme of his or her message.
As a result, the message may be disorganized and difficult for listeners to follow.
Impromptu speeches are generally most successful when they are brief and focus on a
single point.

2. EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING
4. MEMORIZED SPEECH
Memorized speaking is the rote recitation of a written message that the speaker
has committed to memory.
When it comes to speeches, memorization can be useful when the message needs
to be exact and the speaker doesn’t want to be confined by notes. The advantage to
memorization is that it enables the speaker to maintain eye contact with the audience
throughout the speech.
