MELC: Explains the functions, nature and process of communication


Semester: First Quarter: 1 Midterm Week No. 1 Day: 1-4
LESSON: FUNCTIONS AND PURPOSES OF COMMUNICATION
This topic exposes you to oral communication activities in various speaking contexts. It aims to help you
develop your oral communication skills by recognizing the nature, functions and flow of communication.

TOPIC 1: NATURE AND ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATION

Nature of Communication
Communication is interactive.
Communication is symbolic.
Communication is a process.

According to Sipacio, P. F., & Balgos, A. G. (2016), there are nine elements of communication. These are the
following:
Speaker – the source of information or message
Message – the information, ideas, or thoughts conveyed by the speaker in words (verbal) or in actions (nonverbal).
Encoding – the process of converting the message into words, actions, or other forms that the speaker understands
Channel – the medium or the means, such as personal or non-personal, verbal or nonverbal,
in which the encoded message is conveyed
Decoding – the process of interpreting the encoded message of the speaker by the receiver
Receiver – the recipient of the message, or someone who decodes the message
Feedback – the reactions, responses, or information provided by the receiver
Context – the environment where communication takes place
Barrier – the factors that affect the flow of communication

TOPIC 2: PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION


Lumen Learning (2013) discussed that the process of communication includes the following:
The speaker generates the idea
The speaker encodes and idea or coverts the idea into words or actions.
The speaker transmits or sends out a message.
The receiver gets the message.
The receiver decodes or interprets the message based on the context.
The receiver sends or provides feedback.

3
TOPIC 3: FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION

According to Maestro (2019), there are five major functions of communication. These are:
Regulation or Control - control the behavior of the receiver
Social Interaction- used to form bonds or connections with others
Emotional Expression- ability to facilitate people’s expression of their feelings or emotions
Motivation- works either when you want to encourage or motivate others
Information dissemination- gain or share information.

Answers Key
1. Answers may vary.
2. The first two elements present in the conversation are the sender and receiver. Elena is the sender, who intended to convey
a message to Mrs. Lim, the receiver in the discourse. The third element is the message itself that Elena wants to convey,
that she is in need of chocolate cakes to be delivered at 8pm. In order to transmit this message to Mrs. Lim, the fourth
element comes in, the encoding. Elena converted the message into words and conveyed it through a phone call. The phone
call is considered as the channel (non-personal in this case), the sixth element present in the conversation. Mrs. Lim
receives the message with a difficulty, as the line goes static due to the bad weather. The static line is considered as the
barrier, the seventh element, that interfered with Elena's message and affected the flow of their communication. The eight
element is the decoding. Mrs. Lim, the recipient, interprets the message after overcoming the barrier, and confirms the
order to ensure that she got the correct information. The context in the conversation is Elena ordering cakes from Your
Cake through a phone call.
3. Elena generates an idea in her mind that she needs 13 cakes to be delivered at 8pm. She then transforms this thought into
verbal speech, converting it into words. After that, she conveys her message to Mrs. Lim through a phone call. Mrs. Lim
receives the message with a difficulty, as the line goes static due to bad weather. Because of this, she misheard the number
of cakes that Elena wants to order. As they recover from the interference with the messages, Mrs. Lim finally gets the
correct information. She confirms the order by repeating it to ensure that she fully understood Elena and from there, the
phone conversation ended.

MELC: Differentiates the various models of communication


Semester: First Quarter: 1 Midterm Week No. 2 Day: 1-4
LESSON: FUNCTIONS AND PURPOSES OF COMMUNICATION
This topic exposes you to oral communication activities in various speaking contexts. It aims to help you
develop your oral communication skills by recognizing the various models of communication.

TOPIC 1: MODELS OF COMMNUCATION


The models of communication are divided into three categories the linear model, the interactive model and the
transactional model. Each part has different fundamental proponents.
LINEAR MODELS
The communication process in Linear Models is arranged as a very straight-forward point of view, showing a direct
process of communication.
Linear Models contains the following communication models:
Aristotle’s Model
Aristotle’s Model of Communication, was discovered by the brilliant Greek philosopher, Aristotle. According to
Drew (2020), this model dates back to 300BC and its discovery helped people become better and more convincing
communicators. Aristotle also classified three elements to improve one’s communication skills to gain the desired
Effect after delivering a speech. These are:
ethos (credibility), pathos (ability to connect), and logos (logical argument).

Lasswell’s Model
As stated by Drew (2020), Lasswell’s Communication Model tries to explain why communication happens, what is the
motive behind creating the communication, and a critique of the message delivered. Lasswell’s model makes you
ponder the significance of the Communicator. Who is s/he? Then, what Message is s/he trying to convey? Next, it
makes you question if the kind of Medium used by the Communicator plays an important role. Lastly, it makes you
wonder who the Receiver is and what is the Effect of the Message.

8
Shannon-Weaver Model
As you can see in the picture by Mathias (1970), this model is comprised of five main elements, drawn from the nine
elements of communication. These are: sender, encoder, channel, decoder, and receiver.

Berlo’s SMCR Model


The final Linear Model of Communication is Berlo’s SMCR Model, also just referred to as Berlo’s Model.
As you probably guessed, the SMCR stands for Sender, Medium, Channel, and Receiver. According to Drew (2020),
Berlo’s Model is comprised of four steps, and each step has factors that impact the communication’s outcome.

INTERACTIVE MODELS

9
Interactive Models only means that communication doesn’t have a clear ‘label’ of who is the speaker and who is the
receiver. Think of it as two or more people in an overlapping conversation.

Our second category, Interaction Models, contains these communication models:

Osgood-Schramm Model
Our first model is the Osgood-Schramm Model, as illustrated by Elkins, A., Derrick, D., Burgoon, J., & Jr, J., (2018).
Unlike the Linear Models, Interactive Models, are two-way communication processes. However, as you recall, it is an
impersonal communication process.
An impersonal communication process has no clear ‘label’ of who is the speaker and who is the receiver. It is like two
or more people in an overlapping conversation.
In the Osgood-Schramm Model, there are two main points presented:
First, both the speaker and the receiver can be the Encoder and the Decoder at the same time
Second, this particular type of communication requires immediate feedback (e.g. – brainstorming ideas in a meeting)

The Westley and MacLean Model


Berlo’s Model accounts for factors that are determined to affect the outcome of the communication process. This is
similar to the Westley and MacLean Model, in that factors are recognized and determined to affect communication.
However, in the Westley and MacLean Model, the focus is primarily on environmental and cultural factors, with an
additional focus on Feedback (Drew, 2020).

TRANSACTIONAL MODELS

10
The last category contains the Transactional Models. These models show the perfect world of communication, where
there is a speaker and a receiver and all the other elements of communication are working together in harmony. There
is always feedback as the speaker and receiver switch roles, and no one is left feeling unrequited. It is the ideal
relationship.

Finally, in our last category, Transactional Models, we find the following communication models:

Barnlund’s Transactional Model


Our first model here is Barnlund’s Transactional Model of Communication, as illustrated by Rathinaswamy (2017).
This model focuses on an interpersonal level of communication, which is to say that the Receiver is paying close
attention to the Speaker Drew (2020). This model emphasizes the immediate-feedback communication, which means
that as a Receiver, you not only have to listen attentively, but you must also look out for cues from the Speaker. These
cues include:

Public cues, which are environmental cues, such as finding a cozy spot to talk
Private cues which are a person’s personal thoughts and background, such as taking cultural differences into account
when speaking to someone from another country.

Dance’s Helical Model


Last but not least, we have Dance’s Helical Model of Communication, as illustrated by Sagucio (2013). This type of
Transactional Model explains how we improve our messages over time by utilizing Feedback (Drew, 2020). For
example, every time we communicate (or send a message), we receive various forms of feedback from an assortment
of situations and people. We then learn from that Feedback and, based on what we’ve learned, we then alter our
communications in the future.
Just like the helical pattern we see in the picture; this process starts small but grows with each communication.

MELC: Uses various strategies in order to avoid communication breakdown


Semester: First Quarter: 1 Midterm Week No. 3 Day: 1-4
LESSON: FUNCTIONS AND PURPOSES OF COMMUNICATION
In the preliminary activity, we have reviewed the possible causes or reasons of having communication
breakdown including the ways of addressing this problem. Hence, in a perfect world, there are no barriers to
communication and everyone always understands everyone else perfectly. However, we do not live in a perfect
world, which means that misunderstandings during communication are inevitable. You may recall from the previous
lesson that we talked about the different models of communication. We learned that there are a lot of factors to
consider, in order for the speaker to successfully send a message to the receiver.

Altering or removing any of these factors can become barriers to the communication process, making successful
communication either difficult or even impossible. For us to become effective communicators, we must first
recognize these barriers, so we can find ways to avoid them and increase the likelihood of always being understood
by our audience.

TOPIC 1: BARRIERS TO COMMUNICATION


According to (Sipacio & Balgos, 2016), there are four barriers to communication and these are the following:

First off, we have our emotional barrier. Obviously, this has to do with our emotions so let’s look at that aspect of it
first.
BARRIER DESCRIPTION

Emotional Barrier Pertains to personal attitude or


behaviour toward something.

EXAMPLE SOLUTION/STRATEGY

EXAMPLE SOLUTION/STRATEGY

people so you don’t have to be shy.

BARRIER DESCRIPTION
Environmental Barrier Includes space, noise, things, and
atmosphere surrounding the place
of the talk.
EXAMPLE SOLUTION/STRATEGY

It’s the number one enemy of communication because it’s something we


encounter all the time. Shortly to say, it’s the most common problem that
causes communication breakdown.

BARRIER DESCRIPTION

hifalutin and unfamiliar words.
EXAMPLE SOLUTION/STRATEGY

BARRIER DESCRIPTION

race and groups.
EXAMPLE SOLUTION/STRATEGY

personally.

Oral Communication in Context (p.8). Quezon, Philippines: C&E Publishing Inc.

Discussion 2
Now that we’ve identified the different barriers that cause ineffective
communication, let’s take a look at what effective communication is and learn
how to conquer those barriers. Effective communication is more than just
exchanging information and about understanding the emotions behind the
information. It combines a set of skills including non-verbal communication,
the capacity to recognize and understand one’s emotions and communication
with other people.
Effective communication is the glue that helps deepen connection to
others and improve teamwork, decision-making and problem solving. It enables

16
one to communicate even negative or difficult messages without creating
conflict or destroying trust.
And so in 2012, Professors Broom Cutlip and Center listed the 7 C’s of
Effective Communication which is widely used today in public relations and
advertising and these are as follows:

COMPLETENESS - This is necessary if you want your audience to receive everything they need
to know about your topic/subject matter and/or if you need them to do exactly as you tell
them.

CONCISENESS - doesn’t mean you have to rush everything so you can finish early. It means you
remove unnecessary words or details while you are narrating or passing information.

CONSIDERATION - this is why you need to know your audience before speaking. Conduct an
audience analysis, know the demographic background and the mood of your audience.

CONCRETENESS - you have to know your facts, give real-life examples or give figures or
numbers from reputable sources to back up your claims.

COURTESY - always be respectful and polite to your audience. This is why you have to do a
sort of background check of your audience ahead of time.

CLEARNESS - this is when you use specific words to express ideas. You should focus on a single
objective so your audience doesn’t get confused.

CORRECTNESS - edit your message before you present it. Make sure there are no grammatical
errors or typos.

LESSON: FUNCTIONS AND PURPOSES OF COMMUNICATION
This topic exposes you to oral communication activities in various speaking contexts. It aims to help
you develop your oral communication skills by recognizing functions and purposes of communication and
verbal and nonverbal cues as instruments for your speaking development.

TOPIC 1: FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION

According to Sipacio, P. J. F., & Balgos, A. R. G. (2016), there are five (5) functions of
communication.
These are: (1) Regulation or Control, (2) Social Interaction, (3) Information Dissemination, (4)
Emotional Expression, and (5) Motivation.

2. SOCIAL INTERACTION

“Buy me some ice cream, please!”
To your brother:
“Did you see the game? It was a tough
competition, right? Both teams really
brought their A-games.”

21
3. INFORMATION DISSEMINATION
o Communication functions to convey information.
o The dissemination of information has always been a part of our lives. We do it every day when we share
a post on social media or talk to our friends about what’s happening at home. When we invent things
such as recipes or a new appliance or a better way of mixing concrete, and then we share these inventions
with the world via the Internet or a radio interview or a book we’ve published.
o In our modern world, it seems the methods and opportunities for disseminating information are virtually
endless – and we’re always coming up with new, faster, and more efficient ways of doing it. Imagine
how a simple USB flash drive is able to hold more information than an entire room full of computers
could only a little over 50 years ago.

TOPIC 2: GENERAL PURPOSES OF SPEAKING/ COMMUNICATION


(Inform, Persuade, and Entertain)

1. TO INFORM
o The first general purpose that some people have when giving speeches is to inform.
o Simply put, this is about helping audience members acquire information that they do not already possess.
o Audience members can then use this information to understand something (e.g., speech on a new technology,
speech on a new virus) or to perform a new task or improve their skills (e.g., how to swing a golf club, how
to assemble a layer cake).
o The most important characteristic of informative topics is that the goal is to gain knowledge not to
encourage.
Why we share knowledge?
Knowledge sharing is the process of delivering information, skills, or expertise in some form to people
who could benefit from it.
o People are motivated to share their knowledge with other people for a variety of reasons (Hendriks, 1999).
For some, the personal sense of achievement or of responsibility drives them to share their knowledge
(internal motivational factors). Others are driven to share knowledge because of the desire for recognition
or the possibility of job enhancement (external motivational factors).
o O’Hair, Stewart, and Rubenstein identified six general types of informative speech topics (O’Hair, et al.,
2007):
1. Objects 4. Concepts
2. People 5. Processes
3. Events 6. Issues
2. TO PERSUADE

22
o When we speak to persuade, we attempt to get listeners to embrace a point of view or to adopt a
behavior that they would not have done otherwise. A persuasive speech can be distinguished from
an informative speech by the fact that it includes a call for action for the audience to make some
change in their behavior or thinking.
Why We Persuade
o The reasons behind persuasive speech fall into two main categories, which we will call “pure
persuasion” and “manipulative persuasion.”

TOPIC 3: VERBAL AND NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION

I. VERBAL COMMUNICATION
o It refers to an interaction in which words are used to relay a message.
o For effective and successful verbal communication, use words to express ideas which can be easily
understood by the person you are talking to.
Types of Verbal Communication
1. Oral Communication
2. Written Communication

II. NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION


o It refers to an interaction where behavior is used to convey and represent meanings.
o All kinds of human responses that are not expressed in words are classified as nonverbal communicate.
Types of Nonverbal Communication
1. Kinesics
o From root word “kinesis” which means movement
o It means communicating by body movement and involves facial expressions and body movements.
1.1. Body Posture- the way that the body is held can communicate many different messages.
a. Gestures- means communicating through the movement of body and arms.
Ekman and Friesen (1969) identified five types of gesture:
i. Emblems: Direct replacements for words.
ii. Illustrators: Shaping what is being said.
iii. Affect displays: shows of emotion. (Smiling when sad)
iv. Regulators: for controlling the flow of conversation.
v. Adaptors: Self-oriented tension relievers and other forms.
1.2. Facial Signals- The eyes are particularly important. Seek to make eye contact first in communicating.

a. Eyebrows and forehead also add significant signals, from surprise to fear to anger.
b. The mouth, when not talking can be pursed, downturned or turned up in a smile.

23
2. Artifacts
o Artifacts are physical objects, such as clothing, homes, and cars, that indicate to others a person's personal
and social beliefs and habits (DeVito, 2005).
o Clothing can communicate many ideas, including social class, attitudes (conservative, liberal, moderate),
style and creativity, and age.
o For example, a professor is more likely to take seriously a student who dresses conservatively and
appropriately for class than a student who constantly lounges in sweats and an old t-shirt.
3. Proxemics
o The use of space in communication.
o Edward T. Hall came up with a system of how we use space in a social context basically showing what a
cultures comfort level of space is for different types of communication.
For example: Invading one’s personal space is seen as aggressive, either intimately or violently, and
presents a whole different dynamic to the communication.

4. Chronemics
o use of time while communicating
o Imagine you are going to a job interview, who set up the interview time? What does it say if the interviewer
is late? If you are late, it might suggest that the job is not as important to you as it should be, or that the
time of the interview is outside of your normal operating schedule.
5. Vocalics/ Paralanguage
o It refers to vocal language that is separate from actual language. This includes factors such as tone of voice,
loudness, inflection, and pitch.
Example: Saying “I’m fine with a cold tone and happy tone.”
6. Haptics
o It refers to ways in which people communicate and interact via sense of touch
Example: Parent’s touch might mean security and protection, love, and comfort.
Here is a table that summarizes both verbal and nonverbal cues.

SIX TYPES OF ORAL COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES
There are six broad types of oral communication activities:
1. One-on-one Speaking
• Can range from moments punctuating a lecture, where students are asked to discuss or explain some
question or problem with a person next to them.
2. Small Group or Team-Based Oral Work
• Smaller-scale settings for discussion, deliberation, and problem solving.
3. Full Class Discussions
• Argument-based and competitive than debate but still dialogic in character. Often creates an
atmosphere of collective, out-loud thinking about some question, idea, problem, text, etc.
4. In-class Debates and Deliberations
• A structured consideration of issue from two or more points of view. Both feature reason- giving
argument. Can be applied to issues of many kinds from disputed scientific facts to theories, etc.
5. Speeches and Presentations
• Classically, the stand-up, podium speech delivered by an individual from an outline or script. Also
includes group presentations and impromptu speaking. A strong element of monologue.
6. Oral Examinations
• Range from one oral question on an otherwise written exam to an oral defense of a written
answer/paper.

SPEAKING 2014 SPEECH (FULL TRANSCRIPT)
You and I are not very different from this flower. Just like this flower is unique, you are unique. All
of us have something special that makes us beautiful. Do you know what makes you special?
Now the answer to that can be a little difficult to find, because sometimes life has a cruel way of
picking out your petals, breaking you in two and throwing you into the trash. Now when you’re broken,
it’s very difficult to feel special.
Mr. Contest Chair, my fellow flowers. I can remember the first time I broke. I was 17 years old. I
had already flunked high school and managed to get myself arrested. Now, I wasn’t afraid of the cops, but
there was one person I was very afraid of and that was my mama. Raise your hand if you have an emotional
mother. Let me see. Put them all together you get my mama. I can hear her scream outside the police station;
even the cops were afraid. She came up to me, held the iron bars, looked into my eyes and I saw a tear
coming down her face.
Now I’ve seen my mama cry before, but mothers cry three types of tears: tears of joy, tears of sorrow
and tears of shame. And when a son sees a mother cry tears of shame, that’s a life changing moment. She

29
looked at me and said “Son, I want you to be a better man”. That night, when I drove home, my dad was
waiting for me at home.
Now, my dad is a cool dad. Raise your hand if you have a cool dad. Put them all together you get my
dad. My dad came up to me and said “Son, it’s OK. You flunked your exams. You already got arrested.
That’s fine. You get that from your mother side. I want you to start working immediately”. And I said,
‘OK.’
So, my dad took me to meet one of his friends called Sam. Now, Sam was an accountant who had an
accounting firm and had generously decided to make me his personal assistant, and there he was. He looked
like a teddy bear, but this man was special. I looked at him and he looked at me, and then he said the most
amazing thing. He said “Son, I see something in you, but I don’t know what it is. If you decide to work
with me, I can help you find that something”. And I was like, wow! that’s the first time in my whole life
somebody has ever told they see something in me. And I started working for Sam.
And every day after work he used to tell me stories about the world, about history, about culture,
about philosophy and it was much more interesting than what I learned in school. And I discovered I can
dream, and I started dreaming, ladies and gentlemen. After one year I went back into high school, completed
my exams, and went into college.
After successfully completing college, I found a great girl, but not a job. I didn’t know what I wanted to do
with my life. Have you ever had that problem? And when you’re lost, it’s difficult to feel special. So, I
went back to my cool dad and I said “Dad, I feel lost”.
He said, “You are like your mother.”
So, my dad introduced me to this strange club that had a strange name, with strange people, talking.
On the first meeting they told me to do something called a table topic. I aced it. But while I was speaking,
I see a strange man seated in the back row, humble, simple, the unfailing quality of kindness in his eyes.
As soon as I finished, he walked up to me, looked me dead straight in the eye and said, “Son, I see something
in you, but I don’t know what it is. If you come here twice a month maybe, we can find that something.”
And ladies and gentlemen, I discovered I could speak, and I love speaking and that led me to become
a teacher. I know what it’s like to not have enough money in your bank account. I know what it’s like to
worry when the bills start coming in. And sometimes in the middle of the night, I wake up my beautiful
wife and ask her “Honey, why did you marry me?” She says, “I saw something in you, but I still I don’t
know what it is.” Ladies and gentlemen, today I’m a dreamer, I’m a speaker and I learned the unfailing
quality of unconditional love from my wife. I was broken and I’ve been broken, lost and broke many times
in my life, but the people in my life were able to reach into the trash can and make me whole again. If it
was up to me, I would have never been able to do that. And this is why if you have great people in your
life, no matter how broke, how lost or how broken you become they can piece you back together. Ladies
and gentlemen, when I look at you, I see something in you, but I don’t know what it is? Over to you.

SEVERN CULLIS- SUZUKI: THE GIRL WHO SILENCED THE WORLD
(FULL TRANSCRIPT)
Severn Cullis-Suzuki started the Environmental Children’s Organization (ECO) when she was
only 9 years old. ECO was a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other
kids about environmental issues. In 1992 they raised their own money and attended the UN’s Earth
Summit in Rio de Janeiro. A then 12-year-old Severn closed a Plenary Session with this amazing
speech that received a standing ovation. She received a lot of praise for her talk then—even Al
Gore called it “the best speech at Rio.”

“Hello, I am Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O – the Environmental Children’s Organization. We
are a group of 12- and 13-year-olds trying to make a difference, Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler,
Michelle Quigg and me. We’ve raised all the money to come here ourselves, to come 5,000 miles
to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming up here today, I have no hidden agenda. I
am fighting for my future. Losing my future is not like losing an election, or a few points on the
stock market.” “I am here to speak for all generations to come. I am here to speak on behalf of the
starving children around the world whose cries go unheard. I am here to speak for the countless
animals dying across this planet, because they have nowhere left to go. I am afraid to go out in the
sun now, because of the holes in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know
what chemicals are in it. I used to go fishing in Vancouver, my home, with my dad until, just a
few years ago, we found a fish full of cancers. And now we hear of animals and plants going
extinct every day, vanishing forever. In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild
animals, jungles, and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even
exist for my children to see.”
“Did you have to worry of these things when you were my age? All this is happening before our
eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time, we want and all the solutions. I’m only a child and
I don’t have all the solutions, but I want you to realize, neither do you. You don’t know how to fix
the holes in our ozone layer. You don’t know how to bring the salmon back up a dead stream. You
don’t know how to bring back an animal now extinct. And you can’t bring back the forest that
once grew where there is now a desert. If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it.”
“Here you may be delegates of your governments, businesspeople, organizers, reporters or
politicians. But, really, you’re mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles and all
of you are someone’s child. I’m only a child, yet I know we are all part of a family, 5 billion
strong, in fact 30 million species strong. And borders and governments will never change that. I’m
only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one
single goal.”
“In my anger, I am not blind, and, in my fear, I am not afraid of telling the world how I feel. In
my country we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy, and throw away, buy and throw
away and yet Northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than
enough, we are afraid to share, we are afraid to let go of some of our wealth. In Canada, we live
the privileged life. We’ve plenty of food, water, and shelter. We have watches, bicycles,
computers, and television sets. The list could go on for 2 days. Two days ago, here in Brazil, we
were shocked when we spent time with some children living on the streets. This is what one child
told us, ‘I wish I were rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes,
medicines, shelter and love and affection’. If a child on the street who has nothing is willing to
share, why are we who have everything still so greedy? I can’t stop thinking that these are children
my own age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born. And that I could be one
of those children living in the favelas of Rio. I could be a child starving in Somalia, or a victim of
war in the Middle East or a beggar in India. I am only a child, yet I know if all the money spent
on war was spent on finding environmental answers ending poverty and in finding treaties, what
a wonderful place this earth would be.”
“At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us how to behave in the world. You teach us to not to
fight with others, to work things out, to respect others and to clean up our mess, not to hurt other
creatures, to share, not be greedy. Then, why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to
32
do? Do not forget why you are attending these conferences, who you are doing this for. We are
your own children. You are deciding what kind of a world we are growing up in. Parents should
be able to comfort their children by saying ‘Everything is going to be all right, it’s not the end of
the world, and we are doing the best we can’. But I don’t think you can say that to us anymore.
Are we even on your list of priorities? My dad always says, ‘You are what you do, not what you
say’. Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown-ups say you love us. But I challenge
you, please, make your actions reflect your words. Thank you.”

Semester: First Quarter: 1 (Midterm) Week No. 5 Day: 1-4
LESSON: TYPES OF SPEECH CONTEXT
In your journey towards becoming an effective communicator, you have learned to identify the different functions
and purposes of communication in the previous module. Additionally, you have learned the importance of verbal and
nonverbal cues as tools for emphasis and instruments in achieving speaking purposes. Now, this module will expose you
to the different types of speech context. It aims to provide you a glimpse of how speakers use and adjust their tone,
language, and communication in various speaking situations.

According to Oxford Dictionary (2020), Speech is the ability to express thoughts and feelings. Meanwhile context
is the circumstances that form the setting of an idea. Combining these two key terms, we have speech context. So, speech
context is defined as the situation or environment where communication occurs; and every day, in every conversation or
discussion we have, there is always a speech context.
Four types of speech context:
1. Intrapersonal Communication 3. Public Communication
2. Interpersonal Communication 4. Mass Communication

1. INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION 2. INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION

MELC: Distinguishes types of speeches and speech style (EN11/12OC-Ifj-17)


Semester: First Quarter: 1 (Midterm) Week No. 6 Day: 1-4
LESSON: TYPES OF SPEECHES AND SPEECH STYLE
You have elevated your oral communication skills when you have learned in module 5 that communication occurs
in various speech contexts. As you continue your journey towards becoming an effective speaker, these topics will help
you learn more about the types of speeches according to purpose and delivery and further develop speech styles which
you may apply in different communication contexts.

TOPIC 1: TYPES OF SPEECHES AND SPEECH STYLE


There are two (2) major types of speeches: according to purpose and according to delivery.

TYPES OF SPEECH ACCORDING TO PURPOSE

1. Informative or Expository Speech

o is mainly performed for the purpose of educating the audience on new or relevant piece of information
on a particular topic.
a. Speeches About Objects – are about things that are tangible and recognized through sight, hearing,

✓ Things you wouldn’t know about movies.

TYPES OF SPEECH ACCORDING TO DELIVERY

1. Manuscript Speech

o Is the word-for-word iteration of a written message using visual aids


o Speaking with advanced preparation
o Planned and rehearsed speech
o Reading aloud a written message
o Accurate replication of the written words
o Guided speech
Example:
✓ News anchor with a teleprompter.

2. Memorized Speech

o Is the rote recitation of a written message that the speaker has committed to memory
o Speaking with advanced preparation
o Planned and rehearsed speech
o Reciting a written message word-for-word from memory
o Accurate repetition of the printed words from memory
o Comfortable to move around the stage
Example:

41
TOPIC 2: TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE

According to Martin Joos (1976), a linguist and German professor, a speech style is a form of
language that the speaker utilized which is characterized by the level of formality. Furthermore, he identified
the five basic types of speech styles and these are the following:

1. Frozen Style – also known as fixed speech. It is the highest form of communicative style which is often
used in respectful situations or formal ceremonies. It uses the complex grammatical sentence structure and
vocabulary that are only known by experts in that field.
Examples: 1. Pledges
2. Laws
3. Marriage Ceremonies

MELC: Respond appropriately and effectively to speech act. (EN11/12OC-Ifj-20)

Semester: ___1st ___ Week No. ___7__ Day: ___1-4___

LESSON: SPEECH ACT

Communication happens effectively when the message is passed clearly; it becomes useful and meaningful
when both the sender and the receiver understand the idea being put across. Indeed, there could be no valid reasons to
ignore the need for communicating successfully.
Moreover, to achieve effective communication, it is essential to know the different types of speech act. A speech
act is an utterance that a speaker makes to achieve an intended effect.
Speech acts are performed when a person offers an apology, greeting, request, complaint, invitation compliment,
or refusal. Speech act is an act of communication.
As we communicate with others, we use language without minding whether to use complete sentence or not. The
number of words in a single utterance does not matter so long as we can get our message across.

TOPIC 1: TYPES OF SPEECH ACT

Three Types of Speech Act


According to J. L. Austin (1962), a philosopher of language and the developer of the Speech Act Theory, there are three
types of acts in every utterance, given the right circumstances or context. These are:

1. Locutionary act is the actual act of uttering or saying something. This act happens with the utterances of a sound, a
word or even a phrase as a natural unit of speech.
For the utterances to be a Locutionary Act, consider the following:
• It has sense, and mostly importantly, for communication to take place.
• It has the same meaning to both the speaker and the listener.
• Utterances give rise to shared meaning when it is adjusted by the speaker for the listener.

Examples of Locutionary Acts:

• “Dah!” (favorite expression of TV cartoon character Homer Simpson)


• “Wow!” (When someone is amazed)
• “Hello!” (greeting someone)
• “Get out!” (a strong command)

48
2. Illocutionary act is the social function of what is said. In an illocutionary speech act, it is not just saying something
itself but with the act of saying something with the intention of:
• stating an opinion, conforming, or denying something;
• making a prediction, a promise, a request
• issuing an order or a decision; or
• giving advice or permission.
This Speech Act uses the Illocutionary Force of a statement, a confirmation, a denial, a prediction, a promise, a request,
etc.

Examples of Illocutionary Acts


• It’s more fun in the Philippines. (opinion)
• I’ll help you clean the house tomorrow. (promise)
• Get my things in the office. (order)

3. Perlocutionary act refers to the consequent effect of what was said. This is based on the particular context in which
the speech act was mentioned. This is seen when a particular effect is sought from either the speaker or the listener, or
both. The response may not necessarily be physical or verbal and is elicited by:
• inspiring or insulting
• persuading/convincing; or
• deterring/scaring
The aim of Perlocutionary Speech Act is to change feelings, thoughts, or actions.

Examples of Perlocutionary Acts:


• “We can do this. We heal and win as one!” (inspiring)
• “It is crucial that we give all our collective efforts to fight against this pandemic. We must start working
together” (persuading)
• “Smoking destroys your health, certain as it brings diseases, it kills – you, your loved ones, and others!”
(deterring)

TOPIC 2: TYPES OF PERFORMATIVE


PERFORMATIVES
Consider again the quotation at the beginning of the paragraph or sentence.: “It is, of course, not really correct that
a sentence ever is a statement: rather, it is used in making a statement, and the statement itself is a ‘logical construction’
out of the makings of statements” (Austin, 1962, p. 1).
Again, What Austin is trying to say here is that the speaker – instead of just saying something or presenting a
sentence as a statement – will actually perform, or perhaps even, is performing in that very moment, an action that
accompanies that statement. This action is called a Performative. Some examples of Performatives are:

o Getting married
o Appointing someone to a professional/social position
o Placing bets
o Offering and making promises
o Congratulating someone
o Giving warnings
o Apologizing
o Threatening
o Saying thank you
o Giving orders or command

49
Performatives come either Implicitly or Explicitly:
o Implicit
The utterance, “I’ll see you later,” is an example of an Implicit performative because the speaker does not
specifically indicate his/her intentions. This means that you must assume the speaker’s intention, based on his/her
tone of voice and your relationship together.
o Explicit
If the speaker adds more information, saying, “I promise, I’ll see you later,” or, “I’m warning you, I’ll see you
later,” then it’s usually pretty clear what the speaker is trying to do. This is an Explicit performative, as there is a
performative verb inserted into the statement. Performative verbs are verbs that perform an action.
o Example – Accept, declare, command, announce, answer, excuse, fire, forbid, hire, grant, etc.

TYPES OF PERFROMATIVES

Directives
Directives are performed when you issue a demand or a request.
Example – “Hey, will you tell me where our final exam is?” You’re requesting for the listener to answer your
question.
Example – When you demand your listener to carry out the action you desire, such as, “Leave town
immediately!” or “I order you to leave town immediately!”
Commissive
Commissive occurs when you commit yourself to a future course of action.
Example – When you say, “I will repay the kindness you have shown me,” or, “I promise to repay the money
I borrowed.” In both of these instances, you are making a commitment to pay the debt that you owe.
Example – When you say, “I swear to tell the truth,” you’re making a commitment to be honest when you
speak.

Searle’s Classification of Speech Act

As a response to Austin’s Speech Act Theory, John Searle (1976), a professor from the University of California,
Berkeley, classified illocutionary acts into five distinct categories.

1. Assertive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker expresses belief about the truth of a proposition. Some
examples of an assertive act are suggesting, putting forward, swearing, boasting and concluding.
Example:
No one can love you better than I do.

2. Directive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker tries to make the addressee perform an action. Some
examples of a directive act are asking, ordering, requesting, inviting, advising, and begging.
Example:
Please maintain the cleanliness of our school.

3. Commissive – a type of illocutionary act which commits the speaker to doing something in the future. Examples of
a commissive act are promising, planning, vowing, and betting.
Example:
From this moment on, I will love you and honor you for the rest of my life.

50
4. Expressive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker expresses his/her feelings or emotional reactions.
Some examples of an expressive act are thanking, apologizing, welcoming and deploring.
Example:
Thank heavens, you came to save me! I owe you my life.
5. Declaration– a type of illocutionary act which brings a change in the external situation. Simply put, declarations
bring into existence or cause the state of affairs which they refer to. Some examples of declarations are blessing,
firing, baptizing, bidding, passing a sentence, and excommunicating.
Example:
You are hired!
By saying that someone is hired, an employee causes or brings about the person’s acceptance to job; consequently,
this changes his external situation
