    public speaking course

    Lecture: What is rhetoric?

    1. In this class, we will take a rhetorical approach to studying public speaking.

    2. Rhetoric is the art of identifying communication needs and strategically


    responding to them.

    Lecture: Rhetorical situations

    1. Each time you stand to speak, you’re trying to come up with the best or most
    appropriate response to the specific rhetorical situation you find yourself in. At
    a minimum, rhetorical situations include factors like: topic, setting, audience,
    occasion, and your credibility.

    2. A good presentation is one that responds most effectively to its rhetorical


    situation. Consequently, there is no “one thing” that always works in public
    speaking. You need to develop skills, experience and judgment.

    Lecture: The rhetorical canons

    1. The rhetorical canons are a set of tools you can apply to preparing and
    performing speeches.

    2. Canons

    Invention: Coming up with content

    Arrangement: Putting it in an order for an audience of listeners.

    Style: Finding the most effective language.

    Memory: Getting your speech into your head to support good delivery.

    Delivery: Performing the content effectively for this audience.

    Lecture: Speech is a natural medium of sound

    Speech differs from writing.

    1. Language is acquired; writing is learned.

    2. Language evolved; writing was invented.

    3. Language is ubiquitous; writing is not.

    Lecture: Don’t treat writing as speaking

    1. Speaking and writing are different mediums.

    2. The visual techniques of writing often don’t translate to speaking.

    3. Reading texts written for the eye flatten out your natural delivery style.

    4. So, write speeches for the ear, not the eye.


    Lecture: How do we talk?

    1. When speaking, you move back and forth between conceptualization, formulation,
    and articulation.

    2. When listening, you move back and forth between perceiving, decoding, and
    predicting.

    3. Thus, listeners need cues to easily and quickly decode talk.

    Lecture: Good delivery starts with easy to understand speech

    1. Listeners need cues to easily and quickly decode talk.

    2. Contextual cues provide situational information.

    3. Prosodic cues (pitch, rate, etc.) provide auditory information
