Abstract	The Developmental Speech Sequence Model (DSSM), based on a developmental approach designed to overcome deficiencies in public speaking, offers students guidelines for speech delivery but not at the expense of spontaneity. While some approaches provide step-by-step direction or are more abstract, the DSSM builds developmentally through a series of sequential steps. The DSSM can be used for both informative and persuasive speaking, and can be adapted and used in different contexts. For example, the educational system in the People's Republic of China does not emphasize creativity and independent thinking nearly as much as does the American educational system. However, the DSSM was used effectively at Northern Jiaotong University, a school emphasizing technical education. The primary modification in this situation involved more lengthy explanations for each step of the process and what students needed to do to meet the speech objectives. This approach was especially developmental as it not only provided direction for effective speechmaking, but it also helped students develop their application of original ideas. (MM)
