Abstract

Persuasive communication is a critical determinant of success in contemporary business, yet few studies have examined how a single business leader adapts classical rhetorical appeals across contrasting communicative contexts. This study analyzed the use of persuasive language in two speeches delivered by Steve Jobs: the 2005 Stanford Commencement Address, a motivational speech, and the 2007 iPhone Launch Presentation, a commercial product presentation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in Aristotle's rhetorical framework, utterances containing ethos, pathos, and logos were identified from publicly available transcripts that were manually cross-checked against the original video recordings, classified using a theory based coding checklist, classified using a theory-based coding checklist, and analyzed following Miles and Huberman's model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that Jobs employed all three appeals in both speeches but shifted his rhetorical emphasis according to audience and purpose. Pathos dominated the Stanford address through vulnerable personal storytelling about adoption, failure, and mortality, whereas logos and ethos dominated the iPhone presentation through competitor comparison, feature-based reasoning, and appeals to Apple's record of innovation. The study concludes that effective business persuasion is context-dependent: speakers calibrate emotional and logical appeals to fit their objectives. The findings could potentially offer practical insights for business communication instruction in vocational higher education. Keywords: business speech; ethos; logos; pathos; persuasive language; rhetorical appeals

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study explored students' experiences of speaking anxiety and practice opportunities in relation to their self-confidence in public speaking. The research employed a qualitative design involving ten students from the English Study Program of Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations and analyzed using thematic analysis proposed by Braun and Clarke (2006). The findings revealed that speaking anxiety negatively influenced students' self-confidence through fear of making mistakes, nervousness, fear of negative judgment, and anxiety experienced before, during, and after speaking activities. On the other hand, practice opportunities positively influenced students' confidence through frequent speaking practice, classroom speaking activities, lecturer support, and peer feedback. The study concludes that speaking anxiety tends to reduce students' confidence, whereas regular practice opportunities and supportive learning environments help students develop stronger self-confidence in public speaking. These findings provide useful implications for lecturers and educational institutions in creating effective public speaking learning environments Keywords: Public Speaking, Speaking Anxiety, Practice Opportunities, Self-Confidence, Qualitative Study
