 Lesson
Cohesion in Spoken Texts
1
Spoken texts include oral stories, interviews, dialogues, monologues, phone conversations,
discussions, role plays or any other piece of spoken language (Poetsch, 2013). When people are
speaking to each other, their interaction is made up of series of utterances, for example questions and
replies, comments and suggestions, requests and responses. When we speak or write, we expect that our
listeners or readers understand the message we try to convey. Having cohesion through the use of
conjunctions help us to communicate our message. Though it is not easily achieved, constant practice in
using these conjuctions is helpful. Its main goal is to equip you with communication skills to become a
well – rounded individual.

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

A. use conjunctions according to their function;
B. compose a letter using conjunctions; and
C. appreciate the importance conjunctions in spoken texts.

What’s New
In order for a reader to progress from one idea to the next idea, he/she must learn to use
words to connect sentences. Thus, he/she must learn to build clear and cohesive sentences.

Directions: Read the sentences below and study the function of the underlined words.

1. She was early in accomplishing the modules and passed her answer sheets on time.
2. I listened to the video attentively for I am attending an online lesson.
3. The teachers do not expect students to be late nor do they expect to be
disobeyed.
4. I started singing when I was five years old.
5. I will tell her my secret if she will promise not to tell others.
6. I respect my parents because they give me life.

Process Questions:

1. What do you think is the function of the underlined words in the sentences?

2. How do these highlighted words connect the ideas in the sentences?

 What Is It

Cohesion is a text quality where words and sentences stick together. This word originated from
the term ‘cohere’ which means ‘to stick together’. It is important to achieve cohesion since it will direct
listeners’ or readers’ thoughts and interests to the development of the presented argument. To link
together the part of text (words, sentences, and paragraphs), conjunctions as cohesive device can be
used (Abdul, 2013).
In the previous activity, the identified words are what we call conjunctions. Conjunctions are
words that act as a glue that hold words, phrases and clauses together (grammar.yourdictionary.com,
2020). There are different kinds of conjunctions serving their own distinct purpose, but all working to
connect words together. A spoken text contains conjunctions to make it cohesive. In evaluating a
spoken text, it is vital to look into this quality.
There are two types of conjunction: coordinating conjunction and subordinating conjunction.
Coordinating conjunctions connect two independent clauses while subordinating conjunction links
dependent clause to an independent clause. The common examples of coordinating conjunction are for,
and, nor, but, or, yet and so. On the other hand, subordinating conjunctions have the following
examples like if, when, because etc.

What’s More
Directions: Your friend Joseph, sent you an e-mail after the community quarantine was lifted.
Write your reply to him by using conjunctions to achieve cohesion in your letter.

My dearest friend,

How are you? It has been awhile since we last had our exchange of hellos and news
from one another. It has been months since we talked. The quarantine protocols we
experienced limits our movements and we are not able to visit each other. Can you tell me your
experiences during the quarantine period?
I am looking forward to hearing your stories. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Your
friend,
Joseph
 What I Have Learned

What I Can Do

Directions: Read the excerpt of a news story regarding the opening of classes this school year. Give
your reaction on the statement of DepEd Secretary Briones. Use conjunctions in presenting your idea
and reaction.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 14) — Basic education classes will resume on October 5
as President Rodrigo Duterte ordered a six-week-long postponement amid the coronavirus crisis.

Department of Education Secretary Leonor Briones, in a surprise online press conference on Friday,
announced that the President approved her recommendation to move the school opening which was earlier
set for August 24.

Briones revealed she made the proposal as early as August 6, citing logistical limitations brought by the
imposition of modified enhanced community quarantine in Metro Manila and in the provinces of Bulacan,
Cavite, Rizal, and Laguna.

“We shall use the deferment to provide relief to the logistical limitations faced by the areas placed under
MECQ and to fill in the remaining gaps of the school opening that we are currently addressing,” Briones
said.

She said there are millions of learners in the MECQ areas, which are under the second strictest community
quarantine status until August 18.

Other areas in the country are ordered to push through with their preparations, including orientations, dry
runs, and delivery of learning resources.

Lawmakers and several groups have been calling on the government to push back the academic year 2020-
2021, saying the schools, teachers, and learners are not ready, even for blended learning which does not
require face-to-face classes (Santos, 2020).
 Lesson Fluency Awareness
2 in Spoken Texts
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:
a. use correct punctuation marks in ending a sentence; and
b. value the importance of fluency in producing effective written outputs.

What’s In

In the previous lesson, you have learned about the role of conjunctions to achieve cohesion in spoken
texts. Achieving cohesion both in spoken or written text makes texts easier to understand.

Directions: Fill in the table with the correct examples of coordinating and subordinating
conjunctions.

Coordinating Conjunctions Subordinating Conjunctions

What’s New
Below is an excerpt taken from an article published in the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention website (CDC, 2020). Try to comprehend and go over the two paragraphs below and be
able to answer the process questions that follow.

Paragraph A
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for people Fear and
anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in
adults and children Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and
lonely and can increase stress and anxiety However these actions are necessary to reduce the spread of
COVID-19 Coping with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about,
and your community stronger
 Paragraph B
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for people. Fear and
anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in
adults and children. Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and
lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. However, these actions are necessary to reduce the spread of
COVID-19. Coping with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about,
and your community stronger.

Process Questions:

1. Compare the two paragraphs.

What is in paragraph B that is not found in paragraph A?

2. Which of the two paragraphs contains a clearer message? Why?

What is It

Writing Fluency refers to a student's ability to write with a natural flow and rhythm.
Writers achieve fluency using appropriate punctuation marks (Hossain, 2015). The appropriate use of
punctuation marks is essential in achieving clearness of ideas expressed in the sentence. To attain
fluency in spoken texts, a learner needs to have full knowledge on sentence endings.
Three of the fourteen punctuation marks are appropriate for use as sentence endings.
These are the period, question mark, and exclamation point.
A Period (.) is placed at the end of declarative and imperative sentences.
A Question mark (?) is used to indicate a direct question when placed at the end of a
sentence.
An Exclamation point (!) is used when a person wants to express a sudden outcry or add emphasis.

What’s More
Directions: Use the appropriate punctuation marks in the dialogue below.

Anton: Hi there, Miguel Miguel: May I know who is this Anton: This is Anton
Miguel: Oh yes How’s life there in Ilocos
Anton: We are fine The situation gets better somehow What about there in Manila
Miguel: Oh I just hope the curve of the pandemic is flattened so we may live back with our normal lives

LAURA
Translated by Morris Bishop

She used to let her golden hair fly free She did not walk in any mortal way,
For the wind to toy and tangle and molest; But with angelic progress; when she spoke, Her
eyes were brighter than the radiant west. Unearthly voices sang in unison.
(Seldom they shine so now.) I used to see She seemed divine among dreary folk
Pity look out of those deep eyed on me. Of earth. You say she is not so today?
(“It was false pity,” you would now protest) Well, though the bow’s unbent, the wound I had
love’s tinder heaped within my breast; bleeds on (Mr. D's Literature Class, 2011). What wonder
that the flame burned furiously?
Process Questions:

1. Which lines from the poem indicate positive emotions?

2. What is the attitude or emotion implied in the poem?

What is It

The tone of a piece of writing is its general character or attitude of a writer toward a subject or
an audience. Writers have to convey meaning by choosing the specific words so that readers will
understand our intent and intonation. Tone can range from sarcastic to humorous, from serious to
informal, or from questioning to persuasive or informational. In this lesson, you will learn about the
basic types of tone in writing.

9 Basic Types of Tone in Writing

1. Joyful: This tone in writing focuses on the positive emotions that are experienced in the moment of
an action. If you eat something you like, then you feel joy. When you experience reciprocal love, you
feel joy. Writers use this tone to create relationship-building experiences between their readers and their
characters.

2. Serious: This tone in writing creates a level of suspense within the reader. It increases their focus
because the concepts being offered are important.
3. Humorous: Being funny does more than make people laugh. It also makes them begin to think
about difficult concepts in a way that feels safe. This tone in writing is often intended to draw the reader
into a story or narrative so they can engage with certain facts or opinions the author feels are important
to share.

4. Sad: Sadness is a very real part of the human condition. In many ways, our saddest days define who
we are as people. When incorporated as a tone in writing, the reader become sympathetic with the
characters or the author and this empathy will keep them engaged with the narrative.
5. Formal: This tone in writing is often seen from an academic standpoint. It requires structured
language, higher reading skills, and presents more facts that can be proven than the opinions of the
writer.
6. Informal: The goal of this content is to have an informal tone. It’s conversational, but still conveys
a certain sense of expertise within the subject material.
7. Optimistic: There’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world today. Yet there is also a belief that the
world can and will be a better place one day if we’re willing to work for it. This would be an example
of an optimistic tone.
8. Pessimistic: When there’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, it can feel like that bad stuff
will only get worse. That kind of tone would be an example of being pessimistic. Pessimism is not
realism. Being pessimistic means having a belief that something will never get better, even if the facts
may seem to indicate otherwise.
9. Horror: This tone of voice is threatening in nature. It speaks to the core fears that people have and
forces them to confront those fears (Wilson, 2020).

What’s More

Word choice plays a major part in the tone of a spoken text. Word clues are used by writers to
convey tone in writing. In this activity, identify key words and the tone conveyed by the following
spoken texts. The first item is already done for you.
1. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. I remain positive that this pandemic will
come to an end.

 Lesson
Correctness in a Spoken Text
4
The effectiveness of spoken texts can be assessed in terms of cohesion, fluency, tone and
correctness. The first three concepts were already discussed in the previous lessons.
In like manner, the correctness of a spoken text contributes to its effectiveness. Correctness
refers to the mechanics of language characterized by clear and articulate speaking or writing, free from
grammar errors and misspelled words and appropriate to the situation or context

After going through this lesson, you are expected to:

a. assess the correctness in spoken texts; and
b. appreciate the importance of correctness in spoken texts.

What’s In

In the previous lessons, you have learned about achieving cohesion in spoken texts. One of the
best ways to do this is by having enough knowledge on conjunctions. Conjunctions help us connect
ideas clearly and coherently. Fluency, on the other hand, refers to the student’s ability to write with a
natural flow and rhythm. Tone is also an essential quality of a spoken text. In our discussion, it refers to
the attitude of the author in writing that he or she wants to convey to the readers.
Directions: List down the types of tone in writing. Write your answers in the box below.

What’s New

Here is an excerpt from The Analects’. Indicate your observations in the text by checking either
yes or no and provide details or issues about it.
 From the Analects
by Confucius
translated by Arthur Waley

The Master said, “To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt, is that not after all a
pleasure? Those friends should come to one from afar, is this not after all delightful? To remain
unsoured even though one’s merits are unrecognized by others is that not after all what is expected of a
gentleman?”
The Master said, “A young man’s duty is to behave well to his parents at home and to his
elders abroad, to be cautious in giving promises and punctual in giving them, to have kindly
feelings towards everyone, but seek the intimacy of good. If, when all that is done, he have any energy
to spare, and then let him study the polite arts (Mr. D's Literature Class, 2011).”

OBSERVATION Yes No Justifications/ Details Found

1. The text is free from grammatical

errors.

2. All words in the text are correctly

spelled.

3. The idea presented is clearly and

coherently written.

4. The use of language is

appropriate to the situation.

What is It
Spoken texts include oral stories, interviews, dialogues, monologues, phone conversations,
discussions, role plays or any other piece of spoken language. When people speak to each other, their
interactions are made up of stories of utterances like questions and replies, comments and suggestions,
requests and responses.

Hossain (2015) suggests that the correctness of a spoken text can be assessed in terms of the
following areas:

1. Clarity. The clarity of a spoken text refers to its quality of being easily understood. Clarity is a
characteristic of spoken or written text that communicates effectively with its intended
 audience. In general, the qualities of clearly written texts include a carefully defined purpose, logical
organization, well-constructed sentences, and precise word choice.
2. Articulateness is the ability to express thoughts and feelings easily and clearly. We can say that a
text possesses this quality if it expresses an idea in a clear and effective manner.
3. Spelling. This is a set of conventions that regulate the way of using graphemes (the smallest
functional unit of a writing system) to represent a language in its written form. Simply put, spelling
is the rendering of speech sound into writing.
4. Language Appropriateness. This quality is evident in a spoken text if it uses a language that is
fitting or suitable to the situation or purpose. In linguistics and communication studies,
appropriateness is the extent to which an utterance is perceived as suitable for a particular purpose
and a particular audience in a particular social context.
5. Grammar. This refers to the set of rules that explains how words are used in a language.

What’s More

Here is an interview news story from tribune.net.ph (2020). Indicate your observations in the
text by checking either yes or no and provide details or issues about it.

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) on Sunday formally introduced Miss Universe 2018
Catriona Gray as its new ambassadress as it boosts its information campaign to fight off the
coronavirus pandemic.
“Cat is the perfect advocate to show that there is a silver lining in what we are going through
with this pandemic,” PRC chairperson, Senator Richard Gordon, said.
“You are a universal person. You won the Miss Universe, now you are serving the universe
as a humanitarian,” Gordon told Gray during an online program.
Gray expressed her excitement about her new partnership with the private humanitarian
group.
The beauty queen would be responsible for communicating the importance of following the
health protocols to avoid acquiring COVID-19.
In getting tested, Gray told the public that getting tested for COVID-19 is something that one
should not be terrified of.
“It’s nothing to be feared. It’s just slightly uncomfortable but having that sureness, knowing
your status and result allow you to take proper actions, not just to protect yourself but also the people
around you,” said Gray.
Gray hopes that this partnership will help promote the call for donations to allow testing to
be accessible to every Filipino.
“It’s very critical to make testing accessible and affordable for every Filipino,” Gray
said.
She added that as PRC’s representative, she will be utilizing her platforms to call for
blood donations as well.
