The Assignment

Following your instructor’s directions, partner with someone in the class. Spend some time getting to know him or her and then prepare a short 2-minute speech introducing your partner to the rest of the class.

Questions to Ask

1.     What is your background? (Where were you born and raised? What is the makeup of your family? What else do you want to share about your personal background?)

2.     What are you majoring in and why?

3.     What are some of your personal and professional goals after college?

4.     What are two personal goals you have for this class and why?

5.     What is something unique about you that most people probably don’t know?

Speeches of Introduction

A speech of introduction is given to acquaint a group with someone they have not met. We make short “speeches” of introduction all the time. When a friend from high school comes to visit for a weekend, you may introduce her to your friends. Not only will you tell them her name, but you will probably mention other things about her that will make it easy for your friends to talk with her. Likewise, a store manager may call the sales associates together in order to introduce a new employee. The manager might mention the new team member’s previous experience, interests, and expertise that will encourage the others to respect, help, and become acquainted with the new employee.

Speeches of introduction also often precede formal addresses. The goal of the introducer is to establish the credibility of the main speaker by sharing the speaker’s education, background, and expertise related to the topic and to build audience interest.

Speech to Introduce a Classmate

Because your classmate will not be giving a formal address after you introduce him or her, we suggest you organize your speech as follows:

1.     The introduction: Start with an attention catcher—a statement, story, or question tied to something about the speaker that will pique audience curiosity. Then offer a thesis and preview of main points, which can be as simple as “I’m here today to introduce [name of person] to you by sharing something about his personal background, personal and professional goals, and something unique about him.”

2.     The body: Group the information you plan to share under two to four main points. For example, your first main point might be “personal background,” your second main point “personal and professional goals,” and your third main point “something unique.” Then offer two or three examples or stories to illustrate what you learned regarding each main point. Create a transition statement to lead from the first main point to the second main point, as well as from the second main point to the third main point. These statements should remind listeners of the main point you are concluding and introduce the upcoming main point. For example, “Now that you know a little bit about [name of person]’s personal background, let’s talk about his personal and professional goals.”

3.     The conclusion: Remind listeners of the name of the classmate you introduced and the two to four main points you discussed about him or her. Then, end with a clincher—a short sentence that wraps the speech up by referring to something you said in the speech (usually in the introduction) that will encourage listeners to want to know him or her better.
