ASPECTS OF EFFECTIVE SPEAKING

There are three main elements of effective speaking:

 The words you use.


 Your voice.
 Your body language (non-verbal communication)

Choosing Your Words


What you say—the words you choose—matters.

If in doubt about your meaning, your audience will come back to the words that you
used and double-check what you might have meant. It is therefore important to choose
carefully, especially when you are saying something important. Things to consider
include:

a. Your audience. The words you choose will be different if you are talking to 200
people at a conference, a trusted colleague, your boss, or your children. You need to
think about your audience’s overall level of understanding of the subject, and also
the type of language that you use.

b. Shorter sentences are easier to process and understand. Using shorter sentences
also creates urgency.

c. Simpler words are also easier to understand. If you cannot explain something in
simple terms, you have probably not understood it yourself. This is particularly
important if your audience is not all native speakers of the language.
