The course is important in developing effective communication skills and differentiating when different speeches are applied. An informative speech is applied when educating or informing an audience about a particular subject they are not familiar with—for instance, informing the public about a dangerous disease that has emerged. One gets to know. Persuasive speech is used when a speaker wants to convince the audience to agree on their point of view—for instance, politicians convincing the audience to vote for them. Introductory is used to inform the audience of the next speaker. The speech aims at connecting the guest and the audience.
