Can I Be A Public Speaker?CHAPTER IPUBLIC SPEAKINGPublic speaking is oral communication spoken in front oflarge people that combines the skill of speaking and the artof speaking. That the combination between the skill ofspeaking and the art of speaking, public speaking needs twoimportant aspects, they are; the speaking itself and the wayhow to deliver the speech. Most problems come from nonnative students on English in which they three bigproblems; first is the language itself, second is deliveringthe speech, third is buliding the confidence. So that, giving aspeech in front of others in formal condition for them is notan easy way. People need great efforts to build up theirconfidence to speak in front of others. Mufanti (2015) ortableness are some factors that influence thestudents to communication. It is a big reason for us todesign this book that can overcomes the students’problems. However, there is no shortcut to get asuccessPeople also need sustained efforts to sharp theirspeaking ability and to train their verbal communication. 1

Can I Be A Public Speaker?Reputedly, speaking is a need skill for people who want tobe a profesional workers. Adler& Towne, 1996; HaggleGreenberg, 1979; Waner, 1995 in Gareis (2006) publicspeaking (oral communication skills) said that rank thehighest among all the skills that employers desire inemployees. Based on the result of this survey, it shows thatspoken language has the most important position amongother language skills since it holds an important role fordaily life activities.Then, we need to give a definition to the meaning of publicspeaking. We need to recognize what other experts sayabout public speaking. Lucas (2004)stated that publicspeaking is a vital mean of civic commitment. Moreover, hestated public speaking is a way to express our ideas and tohave a force on issues material in a democratic society.Gareis (2006) explains verbal language involves manykinds of communications, both formal and informalcommunication.From the statements above, it can be said that publicspeaking is one of important oral communication toexpress people’ thought to audiences formally. Publicspeaking means that the speaker distributes his or her2

Can I Be A Public Speaker?views with larger audiences and usually some or evenmany speakers often experience anxiety and nervousnessbefore and during the presentation (Gareis, 2006). Lucas(2004) adds that most people have a tendency to beanxious before doing something is normal. 3

Can I Be A Public Speaker?CHAPTER IITHE FUNCTION OF PUBLIC SPEAKINGNot many people know that public speaking has a power tosolve many problems as well as the function of publicspeaking itself. There are three functions of public speakingas described below:1. To Blow-Out InformationInformation can be gotten from mass media, brochure,internet. Nevertheless, some people still cannot understandor catch the point of the information so that information isblown out by credible people is more effective andpersonalized. If you have capabilty inpublic speaking, youcan use your ability to blow out information so otherpeople can understand the point of easily. Often, govermentshares the information about the danger of drugs throughunspoken way. However, still many people consume drugs.Here, the role of public speaking is needed because publicspeaking has a power to blow-out information. As whatsaid Gareis (2006) that spoken information is morepersonalized.4

Can I Be A Public Speaker?2. To Share Our ThoughtIt is believed that every person has a briliant thoughts thatthey can share their thought through writing and oral.Sharing the thought in written ways can be donethroughjournal, magazine, book and newspaper. In otherside, the only way to share the thought by using oral way ,emphasizethroughtheoralimportantsmessages of our thoughts. We can imagine, if we haveability in public speaking, we can easily share our idea toother people. We can change something or bring a newthink through public speaking.3. To Debate Argument VerballyAs ordinary people, sometimes we have problem with otherpeople in working place, campus, school, house, public area.People with low capability in public speaking cannotencounter the problems with verbal argumentation. Theytend to use their emotion and physical combat to encounterother people. As it is stated by Gareis (2006)thatcivilization advanced, however, verbal argument emerged 5

Can I Be A Public Speaker?as an alternative to physical combat, and the art of publicdebate was born. In othe side, If we have a good ability inpublic speaking, having difference perception with otherpeople is easy to communicate verbally.6

Can I Be A Public Speaker?CHAPTER IIIKNOWING ABOUT YOUR SPEECHKnowing about your speech will help you to prepare yourspeech performance well. This part guides you to knowwhat are needed in giving a speech. In public speaking, it isa must to know; the purposes of delivery and the modes ofdelivery.3.1 The purposes of deliveryThere are four types of speech according to its purposes.Each of them will be discussed below.1. Narrative SpeechNarrative speech aims to amuse the audiences or to sharethe speaker’s experiences. It is delivered to promote itself.It means that the whole speech is told for telling the storyonly. The example of this speech is telling story thatcommonly universities or schools often hold this kind ofcompetition. The speakers in this type must be able toentertain the audiences whether they tell sad story, funnystory, legend story, drama story and more. Besides, 7

Can I Be A Public Speaker?mastering how to deliver the story and the content of thestory, the speakers should have a good sense on this storyso that they can deliver the sense of the story to audiences.Then Labovin Gareis (2006) describes this kind of speechinto several parts. The five parts in narrative speech usuallycalled generic structures. The generic structures in thenarrative speech are:OpeningOpening is a short statement to tell the audiences whattopic we are going to tell. The topic here can be called as thestoryline. Remember, this poin is so important so youcannot deliver a speech without saying the topic in theopening session.OrientationOrientation is the introduction of the time, place, andcharacters of the story. The position of orientation is in theintroduction of your points after the storyline is told in theopening part. In this part, you can tell about the pointsinvolved in the characters, setting of the place and time ofthe story.8

Can I Be A Public Speaker?Complicating EventsComplicating events is the events of the story or the core ofthe story. On one occasion you have introduced your story,you can directly deliver the complicating events, the core ofyour story. Deliver your main points in this section and telleveryone what your speech about. You have to complicateall events in your story completely so that people will getall the details. In this phase you can make your volumelouder than in the previous stage to emphasize the climaxof your speech.ResolutionResolution is how the story ends. It is how problems cometo solve. As the opposite of the orientation, the resolutiontells your audiences that your story has come to the end.Therefore, in this point you give signal from your voice orvolume that your story will be ended. It clearly states howyour story ends.CodaCoda is the final or extra part of a speech. In this phase, youcan summary your story and conclude it as it is the time to 9

Can I Be A Public Speaker?state your coda. It is used to make significant line to sum upthe whole story. Moreover, you can state your feeling asyou recall your past to your audiences.To make your story worth to listen to, use thesetechniques.1. Use interesting gestures to deliver your speech2. Highlights the important messages by emphasizingthem3. Use various pitch control of your voice to make youraudience listen to your speech4. Deliver your speech in an effective and clear descriptionand summarize in point before you end your speechThe Example of Narrative SpeechFirst ExampleYOUR BIRTHDAY IS MINEThis story happens, when I was in Vocational High School. Ihad friend, named Caca. She was kind and beautiful girl. Shelikes helping other so she had many friends and all of them10

Can I Be A Public Speaker?loved her so much. Moreover, in her birthday, we had idea togive surprise because we knew that she forgot her birthday.Before my friends and I went to school, we preparedeverything that had to be brought for surprising Caca. Thethings I brought in my bag were present, wheat, and threeeggs. My present for Caca is a beautiful brown watch. I chosebrown because Caca’s favorite colour is brown. Therefore, Iconsidered watch as my present because Caca had lost herwatch a month ago. Then, I had to be careful to keep wheatand eggs in my bag. I arrived in my class before teacher cameso directly I put my bag and left if. I moved to another desk.My friends and I talked each other so we had not realizedthat the teacher had come. After teacher gave us commandto sit down on our position, we directly move to our desk.Unfortunately, I forgot with eggs and wheat in my bag so Isat down and leant on my bag. Some minutes later, I feltuncomfortable because my desk was wet. I really surprisedand screamed. My teacher and my friends asked me theproblem then I answered that I have sat on the eggs andwheat. All of them asked me to tell the real story about it.Then, I told the story and all of them laugh. The last, Caca 11

Can I Be A Public Speaker?said “Thank you so much because you have been myrepresentative to take a bath with eggs”.By AisahThe staf member of English Language CenterMuhammadiyah University of PonorogoThe Second example of Narrative SpeechWHAT?I will tell you a story about Umar. He was a discipline student.He did the teachers’ assignment and homework well. Hecame on time in school. Besides, Umar was a kind boy so hisfriends and teachers loved him so much.One day, Umar did not hear the alarm clock in the morning.He got up just because he heard his mom’s voice. He was verysurprised after he knew that the time was 7.00 o’clock. Then,he directly took a bath and dressed up. He went to school inhurry by bicycle without had breakfast. He did not payattention on the traffic light. In front of the gate, he saw thatthe gate had closed. He was very disappointed and afraidbecause it was the time for math lesson with Mr.Adi.Moreover, all of the students knew that Mr.Adi was a killerteacher.12

Can I Be A Public Speaker?In addition, Umar tried to meet the security but there wasnobody over there. Then, Umar felt very curious because theschool was really silent. Umar sat down for a moment andfinally he realized that it was holiday. He went homewithfeeling which cannot be described.By AisahThe staf member of English Language CenterMuhammadiyah University of Ponorogo2. Demonstrative SpeechGareis (2006) informs that demonstration speech is a typeof speech delivered to show how something works or howsomething is done. For example, a hand phone salesmanager uses demonstrative speech to show how thenewest hand phone works, or the other examplecan befrom a cooking utensils sales uses it when showing how theprocess of modern rice cooker is done. To help them indemonstrating the tools they can use visual aids to makesure the audiences and make the demostration obvious.People know thatvisual aids are really needed for showingthe demonstrations that are difficult to be explained orallyor takes place on the floor. It is important to make sure thatall listeners have clear view during such speech. 13

Can I Be A Public Speaker?As for the pause relating in the demonstration, itshould be kept to be as minimal as possible. You need tokeep delivering speech during the performance and addyour words with illustrations. Do not forget to keep doingeye contact with your audience as much as possible tocheck the clearness of your demonstration.The Example of Demonstrative SpeechDemonstrative speech also usually found in TV programsthat especially demonstrate about kitchen stuff or sportequipment. Below, the example of demonstrative dialoguethat usually found in TV Program about one of kitchenstuffs:MAGIC BLENDERGood afternoon everybody, in beautiful afternoon would bebetter if we drink a glass of apple or mango juice.Hmmm.but there is problem when you want make juice thenyour juice not too fresh like what I drink now. It is causedbecause you still use old blender where your blender cannotseparate between fruit essence and the residue of fruit meat.It is different with my magic blender. In mine, you just needto prepare a cup of water and empty glass. However, you14

Can I Be A Public Speaker?must buy fruits first before you use this blender. Magicblender works as fast as military jet. How it can? I willexplain it. First, you just need open the top of the blender.Then, push your fruit like carrot in this part (show the part toblend the fruit). Next, pour a cup of water and sugar.Remember, don’t forget to open the hole of residue as theway to throw the residue from your fruit. After that, push the“on power”. Let’s see, WOW. a cup of fresh carrot juice canbe drunk. So, do you want still use your old blender orchanges it with this one? However, if you want have blenderlike I have, you just need call in 88888,Then our employeewill come to your home and bring this blender. You can payin three times. So, don’t worry about the prizes. Okay, see youin next episodes and do not forget to brings a magic blenderto your home.The important things that should be remembered as ademonstrator is they must speak as fast as they can withoutpause. It is one of strategy to make the audience believe andinterest with what the demonstrator said.By HerningtyasThe staf member of English Language CenterMuhammadiyah University of Ponorogo 15

Can I Be A Public Speaker?3. Informative SpeechInformative speech aims to educate and inform theaudience, said Gareis (2006). She adds that in theinformative speech speakers, basically do as teachers anddeliver knowledge and concepts covering some topics.Before giving an effective informative speech, it is helpful tofind out first what the audience already knows and whatthey want or need to know. Throw back to the first chapterto consider about matter ‘know your audiences’. Thespeaker should try the best to get the listeners’ interestthroughout the speech.The Example of Informative SpeechALOE VERAAssalamualaikum Wr. Wb.“Alhamdulillah today, Allah SWT. Still gives us chanceto meet each other. In this good occasion let me share mylittle experience when I had gastric acid disease. I felt noenjoyable when my gastric acid flared up. However, I cansolve it by something that usually we meet it around ourgarden.This plant usually is used to make our hair shiny and smooth.However, there are people that actually do not know well16

Can I Be A Public Speaker?that this plant has many advantages.Usually, People just takesimplest way to use this plant because they only know thatthis plant just for their hair and skin. They take the gel fromthis plant. Then, they wipe off the gel to their hair or skin.Nowadays, you should know that this plant that wecall as ALOE VERA can be functioned as alternative medicine.Many factories make aloe vera as material to make herbalmedicine. We ever found that some factories produce aloevera in form of gel that mix with water. However, I thinkwould be better for us to process it by ourselves. We canavoid ourself from consume chemical substance.Aloe vera can be usedfor people that havehypertencion disease. Aloe vera consist of useful substancethat can help people who have hipertency. People only needto eat one stem of aloe vera. As we know that aloe vera hasthorn, so we must peel the skin of aloe vera first. Then, wewash the gel. After the gel clean, we eat it directly. Trust methat eat one stem of aloe vera can help hypertension poeplebe better. Aloe vera is better than chemical drug. When weuse aloe vera as an alternative medicine we can spared ourbody from the dangerous effect of chemical drugs. 17

Can I Be A Public Speaker?Besides as traditional medicine, aloe vera can befunctioned as a gastric acid medicine. There is same way toconsume aloe vera as gastric acid. You just need to pick onestem of aloe vera. Then you peel and wash it until clean. Afteryou get the aloe vera gel, you can directly eat it. It is simpleand economic. So, we would be better use alternativemedicine that more safe for our body. Okay, that’a about aloevera that has many functions for our body. I hope we canmore care to use alternative medicine. Moreover, alternativemedicine can be gotten around our house.Thank you so much for your coming. I hope my that we canmore aware about plants around us that serve manyadvantages for us. Okay, see you next time andWassalamualaikum Wr. Wb.By HerningtyasThe staf member of English Language CenterMuhammadiyah University of Ponorogo4. Persuasive SpeechPersuasive speech is the hardest type of speaking. Thespeaker has a job to persuade and to change the audiences’mind or behaviour. Gareis (2006) states persuasive speech18

Can I Be A Public Speaker?is delivered to give the audiences influencing informationabout an issue. Gareis (2006) also said that it is no matterwhat kind of issue you bring, actually, there are threestages you may experience as delivering your persuasivespeech.Doing a short and small survey concerning to youraudience’s belief, behaviour and mind will help you to addthe materials of your speech. Real data, real example,evidence from others will help you to persuade youraudiences. Non- verbal communication is really needed toimprove your speaking for persuasive. As the meaning ofpersuatition is to persuade your audience so that the lastpurpose of your speech is attarct your audience to go withyour mind. This is the focus of your speaking, i.e get theaudiences go with your mind.The Example of Persuasive SpeechTECHNOLOGYWhat do you think about technology? If we discussabout technology, most of people will mention Smartphone,laptop, tab, internet, Wifi, applications, etc. Nowadays, theusers of gadget, especially Smartphone is not only adult but 19

Can I Be A Public Speaker?also teenager and children. Teenager and children useSmartphone is something usual. Parents give them thatfacility because some of them think that their children haveto be people who can follow the development of era. They donot want to have out of date children. They just think thatSmartphone helps their students to study about everythingbecause by using this aid children can open many things toimprove their ability. Moreover, parents also have point ofview that using Smartphone is the best way for children sothat they can stay at home if their parents go out to doactivities. It means that the existence of Smartphone willbring many benefits for children and parents. The benefitsare as follow:1. Children can know the development of technology byapplying it directly in their daily life.2. Children can enjoy their playing in game application,which can be served by Smartphone.3. There is no dangerous activity that will be done bychildren because they just stay at home with theirSmartphone. For example play in dirty places or playin road which can disturb the traffic. In addition, byusing Smartphone, parent will not feel worry because20

Can I Be A Public Speaker?of children’s social intercourse so that there is nochance for them to choose the wrong friends in theirdaily life.However, do you ever think that using Smartphone ismore dangerous than children play on the road? The reasonis that by using Smartphone children can open everythingwhether good and bad. Children can use Smartphone towatch bad video and apply it although they do not know theeffects if they do it. Moreover, children who always useSmartphone will get the negative effect, such as dangerousfor their eyes, make them cannot socialize with their real life.It will make children lack of communication and individuals.Besides, Smartphone addict can make children lazy to doother activities and it will decrease their creativity.In addition, many cases happen because of socialmedia. Teenager and children do crime because they know itfrom internet. Then, children and teenager also imitateeverything, which comes from internet. For instance,Indonesian will more proud and confidence if they wearwestern style, they will enjoy in using foreign language, theylike to do activities, which have relationship with everythingin social media although it is not appropriate with their 21

Can I Be A Public Speaker?nation culture. This case is not only dangerous for thosepeople but also for Indonesia. How if all Indonesian younggenerations do the same actions? Automatically, it candecrease nationalism and patriotism.In conclusion, Parent may not give smartphone facilities totheir teenager or children because it will bring more harm.By AisahThe staf member of English Language CenterMuhammadiyah University of Ponorogo1.
