Quite often, when English learners around express the difficulties encountered in their quest for the desired English proficiency, one of the frequently-expressed and concerned problems is associated with speaking.

One might find him/herself equipped with sufficient amount of vocabulary while feeling at times frustrated in the event of needing to deliver a speech to a certain group of audience or simply to describe an exciting/upsetting stories to others. The main culprit of such can be a lack of fuency and coherence while the latter is often ignored at lower levels.

In order to help one to become more comfortable and confident when he/she is about to either deliver a public speech or make a presentation to an intended group of audience, an easily-comprehesible approach coupled with a reader-friendly graph is provided as follows to familiarize one with the essentials of making a public speech.

4-Square Method:

 

Step 1.

Choose a topic and put it the center box.

 

Boxes 1, 2, 3 and 4 will contain the introduction, reasons, examples, and explanations that support the topic, and conclusion.

Step 2.

Now we will add supporting ideas (2, 3, 4).

 

These supporting ideas will be used to wrap up our speech.

Step 3.

Now we need to add details (reasons, examples and explanations) supporting our ideas.

 

Step 4.

Once we have made a general outline of our speech, we should bridge the gap between our ideas with the help of transition words (connectors and linkers).

 

Your speech is ready. Practice time.
