CONTEXT
Context referring to speech
communication is the surroundings,
circumstances, environment, background or
setting that determine, specify, or clarify the
meaning of an event.
According to DeVito (2005), “Context refers to
the setting in which the communication takes
place. Context helps to establish meaning and
can influence what is said and how it is said.”
1. INTRAPERSONAL
 This refers to a type of communication that is
focused on one person, where the speaker acts
both as the sender and as the receiver of the
message.
 The message is made up of thoughts and
feelings while the medium is the brain that
processes what you think and feel. (Hybels &
Weaver, 2012, p 16)
Examples:
 There is a voice within you that tells you, “It’s

okay, you can still do it!You can make it!” when
you are losing your drive to finish the task that
you are doing.
 When you told yourself not to talk to your friends
when you have read in a Facebook post that they
were in a party, and you were not invited.
2. INTERPERSONAL
 Thisrefers to the type of communication
that takes place between and among
people and creates a personal relationship
between and among them.
 Normally,it includes two individuals, and it
can vary from casual and very personal to
formal and impersonal.
TYPES OF INTERPERSONAL

COMMUNICATION
Communication – communication
that happens between two people.
Examples:
• You consoled your brother who was feeling down.
• A conversation between your father and mother
about the latest announcement of your Barangay
Chairman.
 Small Group– This applies to interactions involving at least three
but not more than twelve people engaged in face-to-face
interactions to achieve the desired goal.
-In this type of conversation, all participants can freely express
their ideas throughout the discussion.
 Examples:
• You are having a discussion with your two brothers about the
surprise party you are planning for your Mom’s birthday.
• Kathlyn who came back from the United States called her three
brothers and four sisters and announced that she is getting married.
3. PUBLIC
 Thistype refers to a communication that enables
you to send or deliver a message before a crowd.
 The message can be transmitted for informative
or persuasive purposes.
 "Inpublic communication, unlike interpersonal
and small groups, the channels are more
exaggerated. The voice is louder and the gestures
are more expansive because the audience is
larger” (Hybels & Weaver, 2012, p 19).
Examples:
• Delivering a graduation speech to your fellow

graduates.
• You were elected as the new SSG president of
your school and were given a chance to deliver
a message of gratitude to your fellow students.
4. MASS COMMUNICATION
 This refers to communication through

television, radio, newspapers, magazines,
books, billboards, the internet, and other types
of media.

freely share ideas in a loose and open discussion.

story telling activity is an example of small group
communication.

be yourself while you are on stage and speak in the way
that you will easily be understood by your audience.

in public communication should not be exaggerated.
