A. Introduction/Rationale
The lesson in this module introduces the learners to the nature and process of
communication that features the basic relationship of language and communication,
including the functions of the language and denominations of language orientation.
B. Desired Learning Outcomes/Objectives
At the end of the module, the learners will be able to:
a. explicate the different language notions through given pictures or images;

b. expound on the functions of the language;
c. create a tabular or diagramic presentation on the comparison between accentual
and syllabic languages; and
d. assess the significance of communication through expounding the quotes in an
essay form.
C. Motivation: Buckling Up
Stimulating Activity: Using the images below, provide a three-sentence explication (in-
depth explanation) of your analysis on language and communication.
Rubrics:
Sentence requirement – 3 points

Grammatical Coherence – 2 points
Content – 5 points
Picture A:
The speaker should always consider relevant information such as the mood,
source, preference, status, and needs among others so that his/her words will be
respectful and it won’t offend the receiver. There is a collaborative exchange of
messages between communicators with the aim of understanding each other.
Insignificant and unnecessary information should be eliminated from the
communication that will be sent to the recipient so that the message will have
conciseness.
Picture B:
Building a healthy relationship with your teenager is very important, you must
communicate with them even in simple ways just like talking to them everyday
and sharing music to them, asking how their day went and knowing what genre
your teenager listens is an act of emotional expression, it facilitates to express
their feelings and emotions. Next, lunch dates and the use of driving time for
conversation should be done with your teenager for it is a social interaction and
also a control where it allows them to interact with you and with others and it also
functions to control their behavior. Last, making a “love is a..” box helps them in
learning all the ways love can be shown and telling them stories from your
childhood helps them realize how was your experience when you were still the
one as a teenager and this will serve as a motivation to encourage them to live
better.
Picture C:
The fundamentals of communication have taken a step in increasing education

about the communication process, and they have taught many new views that
have spread throughout our lives and helped us build a greater understanding of
the value of communication. Our capacity to utilize language to construct words
combines them into meaningful sequences, which we subsequently communicate
through voice. These foundations can help us enhance our self-perception and
communication skills in a range of circumstances.
D. Lesson Proper: Pulling the Yoke

THE LANGUAGE AND ITS FUNCTIONS
LANGUAGE NOTIONS:
a. Language is the most important quality innate among human beings. It is an

assemblage of customary method in conveying thoughts in spoken, written or manual
means.
b. Language is a vital component for social interaction. It is a medium in
transmitting information through the usage of codes, words, pictures, vocal cues, and
symbols.
c. Language can also be considered as an impetus for racial and cultural
understanding. It is a system of interlinking threads of information about a society and
governs the ideas, notions, aspirations, even principles of its people. In other words,
language is reflected through culture.
d. Language is culture. It is the manifestation of collective cultural identity of a race
or any social group.
According to Michael Alexander Kirkwood Halliday, an English linguist, language

is a semiotic system in a sense that it is a pattern of meanings (signifieds) rather than a
system of signs (signifiers). He developed the Systemic Functional Linguistic Model of
Language, which treats language structures as a ‘meaning potential’, or otherwise
known Systemic Functional Grammar (28). Systemic Functional Grammar refers to the
study of the language as an object of analysis integral for social living.
FUNCTIONS OF LANGUAGE:
A. Heuristic
It is the function of the language that seeks to understand the complexities present in
the environment and its nature.
B. Imaginative
It is the function of the language that goes beyond the factual assertions of things as a
tool in telling stories and fun-narratives purposively conveyed to introduce the
unbelievable or non-existing.
C. Instrumental
It is the function of language that is used to express people’s intents to accomplish a
certain task or endeavor.
D. Interactional
It is the function of language that is used to build social ties, connections or a form of
relationship, which is crucial in human development.
E. Personal
It is the function of the language that is used to express intimate emotions such as
feeling of love, concern, trust and care. It also involves sharing of opinion, and showing
individual identity.
F. Regulatory
It is the function of the language that is used to give instructions or command as
mandated by an authorized body or person in power to tell others what things to do.
G. Representational
It is the function of the language that is used to persuade or lure the listener to believe
in the source’s remarks in conveying facts and information about a certain topic.

LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION:
Language is an essential means for effective communication. It is a standardized

system of grammar, sounds and meanings used by people for the general purpose of
understanding. It is characterized by integrative patterns of letters and words
(morphemes) and phonemic units (sounds) to develop a certain level of social
intelligibility.
Communication refers to any platform used in the exchange of comprehensible,

decodable and meaningful pieces of information.
While language is most commonly concerned with the employment of words and
sounds to transmit information, communication is largely characterized by facial
expressions, mimicry, dramatic and theatrical artistry, bodily gestures, vocal cues,
phoneme-morpheme structures, even nuances. Therefore, language is considered as
one aspect of communication.
In a parabolic sense, communication is the vehicle, and language is the road.

Hence, a vehicle (communication) can traverse a different road (language) with the
intent to arrive at a certain destination. This destination is metaphor for the term
‘understanding’.
In general, English is a toned language; thus, it belongs to an accentuated

language orientation. For most Asian countries, the language orientation is syllabic.
ACCENTUAL VS. SYLLABIC LANGUAGE:

A. Accentual Language Orientation – emphasis on fixed number of stresses in

every line regardless of the number of syllables that are present. It is common in
languages that are stress-timed, such as English. The verses involved in the utterances
are attributed with flexibility in unstressed syllables, and a normal speech pattern among
the sentential elements is articulated as if the components belonged to one successive
phonetic unit.
B. Syllabic Language Orientation – primarily concerned with the constrained or

fixed number of syllables in every line rather than focusing on the stress, tone, quantity
that play minimal role in the utterance. This language orientation is syllable-timed
exemplified in the modern French, Finnish and Japanese languages.
FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION
A. FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION
1. INFORMING
This function of communication involves dissemination of information or data to clarify

things out, to facilitate knowledge acquisition, and to give directives.
Examples:
a. Downward moving communication – data that come from superior towards the
subordinates
b. Upward moving communication – data that come from the subordinates towards
the superior
c. Horizontal moving communication – data that travels among subordinates to
subordinates or peer to peer
2. PERSUADING
This function of communication involves the shaping of the beliefs or thoughts of people
to agree with the speaker or source. This has something to do with the ability to change
the perception, behavior or attitude of the person addressee or receiver.
Factors of Persuasion:
a. Credibility of the source – the personal reputation or character
b. Effectiveness of emotional appeal – suitable remarks to affirm listeners’ approval
c. Logic and Sensibility – coherence of ideas and state of social relevance
3. MOTIVATING
This function of communication involves processing of interest or stimulating thoughts in

order to achieve a certain goal. This further entails the effort of a person to ignite
desired behavior to another person, and put this behavior into practice.
Basic Divisions of Motivation:
a. Positive motivation - reward for better performance

a.1. Factor of Material participation
a.2. Factor for Moral value

a.3. Factor for Self-realization
b. Negative motivation – the power factors

b.1. Factor of Existence
b.2. Factor of Fear
4. REGULATING
This function of communication refers to administering or facilitating a process in order

to impose control or manage a certain system.
Elements of Regulatory Functions:
a. To meet the needs of a person;

b. To lead others for a person to meet his needs; and
c. To maintain personal comfort.
5. INTERACTING
This function of communication refers to the social inclinations of the individual to build
relationships, mutuality and friendship.
Components of Interaction:
a. Approval
b. Permission
c. Counselling
d. Data-gathering
e. Soliciting opinions
f. Confiding feelings
g. Expressing desires
6. EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION
This function of communication pertains to establishing rapport and building trust with
the person or among the people engaged in the communicative activity.
Means of Emotional Expressions:
a. Vocalizations—sounds, grunts, unintelligible speech, shouts

b. Echolalia – repetition of other’s words or components in the sentences
c. Behavioral— pacing, self-injurious behavior, picking at sores, stripping off clothes
d. Body language—facial expression, going limp or rigid
e. Gestures - headshake, point, push away, or made-up gestures
f. Sign language—whether correctly signed or not, patterns of sending information
g. Communication display—a point to, or exchange of picture, or word card
h. Communication device—electronic display that produces vocal and visual output
i. Handwriting or computer typed messages – personal calligraphy or encoded
form
B. EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS

1. Active Listening
Hearing and listening are two opposing terms. A person can hear things with the use of
the natural functions of his ears, even without understanding or processing what the
external stimulus has brought in by the process. However, listening refers to the
detailed dissection of the information brought forth by a stimulus into the ears in order to
purport mental processing of the ideas stored by such stimulus.
2. Body Language Skills

The person’s ability to communicate properly has a lot to do with how he projects his
body, the manner of walking, the way he stands, the posture when he sits, the
movement of his hands, even the stamping of his feet.
3. Asking Questions
Language has always been a significant component in communication. The language
specifically focused in this context is the ability to process information, and to ask for
information the most suitable way possible. Apart from seeking information, asking
questions can be a very good indicator of a person’s level of understanding.
4. Being Clear and Succinct

Most linguists consider language to be intertextually connected. Meaning, thoughts
could be formulated in various ways, in different moods and in numerous media. The
most important thing is that the language is understood on the standpoint of the listener.
This simply means that the source of the message should secure that the receiver could
easily understand his meanings however the modes or means used. Although not
conclusive, but the simplicity of the language usually comes along with its brevity or
conciseness.
5. Clarifying and Summarizing

The basic ability to understand is consequently reassessed with clarificatory questions
in order to know if the information relayed is interpreted the way it was intended. Upon
formal conversations or after a familiar and intimate talk, one of the indicators of
understanding is when the person can summarize or at least paraphrase the ideas or
information transmitted.
6. Being Empathetic
Two of the seven C’s in communication are courtesy and consideration that have very
much to do with being empathetic. This implies that the source should put himself on
the shoe of the person listening. Ideally, the source must balance the level of
communication skill he has with that of the person he is relaying the message to. Too
much usage of hifalutin language or verbosity may lead to miscommunication. It is
suggestible that the source should tone down the level of vocabulary and idiomatic
expressions to level the listener’s communicative ability.
7. Providing Feedback
More than just summarizing certain story or a piece of information gathered, it is equally
important to give response by a humble suggestion or recommendation, or just merely
to provide a reflection of the information with its relevance to the life of the person
listening.
8. Developing Trust and Rapport

Opening a conversation to people is one way to feel comfortable with them. Whether it
is about shooting the breeze or carrying an interesting topic over a cup of coffee is an
effective way to build linkages and start a good bond.
9. Being Present
One of the most effective non-verbal gestures to prove a person’s sincerity to his
friendship or intimate relationship is his presence. Although most people proverbially
believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder, the person’s presence makes the
heart feel cared and loved.
E. Performance Task/Learning Activity: Flying Straight and Level
BUCKET MEAL: PRE-TASK ASSESSMENT
Directions: In five minutes time, the students should be able to explain in their own
words at least five major concepts of communication discussed in the LESSON
PROPER.
1. Language and Its Functions

Heuristic — A problem-solving strategy that employs a practical shortcut.
Imaginative - It may be used to construct imagined worlds or it can come
from stories.
Instrumental - Its purpose is to meet a specific requirement.
Interactional - It allows humans to convey knowledge, skills, and
information through their linguistic talents.
Regulatory - It influences others' conduct and facilitates interaction.
2. Functions of Communication
Informing- It entails telling, imparting knowledge, or providing information.
Persuading - It is the process of persuading someone to believe in the
speaker or the source.
Motivating – It stimulates ideas to achieve the goal.
Interacting – It can build a connection with listeners.
Emotional Expression – It serves a channel to release tension and
nervousness.
3. Effective Communication Skills
Active Listening - It is a linguistic gadget that allows you to maintain a
good connection with your conversation partner.
Body Language Skills - It may transmit signals that are more powerful than
words spoken aloud.
Asking Questions - You get answers, insight, and maybe acceptance for
the message sender by asking questions.
Being Clear and Concise - By writing clearly and concisely, you will get
right to the point in a way that your readers will understand.
Being Empathetic - Empathy is essential since it is utilized to comprehend

what a person is feeling at any given time. As a result, it aids in the
communication of our concept to others.

Air Pocket 2: Contemplative Essays:

Directions: Expound the following quotes in an essay form with no less than three
complete sentences. Each item is worth 5 points.
1. According to Emery et al., “Communication is the art of conveying ideas,

attitudes and information, from one individual to another.”
Communication is a process of sharing and conveying messages or

information from one person to another within and across contexts, media,
and even cultures. Communication also needs feedback, without feedback
the speaker will not know whether the receiver understands the message
or not. There must be a collaborative exchange of messages between
communicators with the aim of understanding each other.
2. According to Theo Haiman, “Communication means the simple act of expressing
thoughts to be understood.”
Communication should be complete and it should include everything that

the receiver needs to hear for him/her to respond and react properly. The
sender must also be an effective communicator so that it will be easily
understood, the sender should recognize barriers that hinder the
communication process. Also, correctness in grammar eliminates negative
impact on the audience and increases the credibility and effectiveness of
the message to be understood.
3. According to Elliot Jaquer, “Communication is the cumulative sum of desires,

feelings and opinions directly and indirectly, consciously an unconsciously
relayed.”
A communication should require understanding of the relationship

between words and sentences and the message they represent for it to be
successful. To have an effective communication, we should always
consider relevant information about our receiver such as race, background,
feelings, education, status, and opinions among others. It is therefore
important for us to acknowledge and understand the many communication
patterns present in other cultures.
4. In the opinion of Weihrich and Koontz, “Communication aims to have a common

understanding of the sender and the receiver.”
The sender and receiver should have the same interpretation about the
message so that both of them will understand each other. The sender
should show courtesy in communication by respecting the culture, values,
and beliefs of the receiver. Insignificant or redundant information should
be eliminated from the communication that will be sent to the receiver so

that misunderstanding will be prevented.
5. Newstrom and Davis stated, “Communication is a way of reaching others to

touch their lives, extend notions and impose directives.”
We should be congruent and confident as we communicate so that we will

be as certain of ourselves and our suggestions as we can be so that we will
have a connection with the receiver. Communication is a complex process,
and it is difficult to determine where or with whom a communication
encounter starts and ends. It is important to recognize that the
environment within the formal organization structure will affect the
successful transmission of concepts and ideas from the appropriate
sender to the receiver.
6. In the words of Trewatha, “Communication is the act of transferring symbols to

other people for them to interpret and analyze.”
Communication can take the form of words, actions, or both at the same
time, with the sender encoding and the receiver decoding. As a result,
communication is defined as the act of assigning and conveying meaning
in order to reach a common understanding. This process necessitates a
diverse set of intrapersonal and interpersonal processing skills, as well as
listening, watching, speaking, questioning, and analyzing abilities.
G. Formative Assessment: Approaching the Ground
Directions: TRUE OR FALSE: Write T if the statement is True and F if the statement is
FALSE.
T 1. ‘Personal’ is a function of language that is used to build social ties, connections or

a form of relationship, which is crucial in human development.

projects his body, the manner of walking, the way he stands, the posture when he sits,
the movement of his hands, even the stamping of his feet.
T 20. ‘Imaginative’ is the function of the language that goes beyond the factual
assertions of things as a tool in telling stories and fun-narratives purposively conveyed
to introduce the unbelievable or non-existing.
H. Summative Evaluation: Hurdling Turbulence
Directions: Using carefully chosen words to fit a five-sentence paragraph, expound on

the following language notions in terms of meaning, functions and significance in
communication:
1. Echolalia
People who have echolalia repeat the noises and emotions they hear. They may be
unable to communicate effectively because they find it difficult to express themselves.
This is a common occurrence in children, but it becomes pathological in those with
Autistic Spectrum Disorder. It can be used to affirm, call, inquire, transmit
information, execute verbal scheduling, and provide instructions by those who are
extremely introverted. Most specialists agree that echolalia makes a difference in
communication when a specific task of communication cannot be determined.
2. Communication Device
A communication device is a device that allows people to communicate with one
another. Repeater, bridge, switch, portal, center, server, switch, LAN card, and
modem are all examples of communication equipment. A communication device is a
device that is used to send any type of message from one person to another. It's a
device that aids in the transfer of data. A communication device might be a lifeline for
people who operate in a single zone.
3. Gestures
A signal is a type of nonverbal or non-vocal communication in which
apparent significant actions transmit particular messages, either as part of
or in addition to the conversation. People use signals to express a wide
range of emotions and thoughts, from contempt to approval and
friendliness and they frequently use body language in addition to words
when they talk. Gestures put people at ease or create trust in the message
you're trying to convey. If you know how to communicate successfully
using gestures, you may be able to fascinate someone. This is important in
communication because it helps us to express our thoughts before we say
them out loud.
4. Vocalizations
For people, having a voice is important. Vocalization refers to any sound
generated for communicating. They are how we communicate with the
outside world: our ideas, of course, as well as our feelings and identities.
The speaker's voice is a special symbol, permanently woven into the
texture of speech. Our voices are used in a variety of ways by each one of
us. As a result, vocalizations are the most common mode of
communication.
5. Sign Languages
Sign Language is a visual form of communication in which someone
communicates through hand gestures and movements, body language,
and facial emotions. For many deaf and hard-of-hearing persons, sign
languages is a very important means of communication. Although sign
languages are predominantly used by deaf individuals, they are also
utilized by non-deaf persons who can hear but cannot speak. The
development of this linguistic concept aided those who had difficulty
hearing and communicating. It built a bridge that allowed everyone to
express their views and feelings, regardless of their circumstances or
current status.
Be guided by the criteria. Attached is the 10-point rubric for your reference.
Rubrics:
Sentence requirement – 2 points

Grammatical Coherence– 1 point
I. Reflections, Core Values, Insights, & Feedback: Airmen’s

Learning Log
CORE VALUES
Indiana Aerospace University adheres to these core values:
- Doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way

- Professionalism
- Pro-activeness
- Teamwork and collaboration
- Dignity of Work
- Respect for the integrity of life
- Loyalty
Directions: Among all the IAU Core Values, choose a minimum of two and a maximum
of four core values that are manifested in this module. Explain why these values are
most likely reflected in the different academic activities presented.
Example:
A. Professionalism – contemplating on the barriers of communication, it is very

important for people to understand the concept of professionalism in dealing
with different cultures as the manner of communicative channel and choice of
verbal and non-verbal forms of communication could affect the outcome of
the message exchange process. One could be misinterpreted to be rude,
offensive or indecent if one does not value professionalism in dealing with
cultural differences.
B. Pro-activeness – as the concept of communication reaches to the depths of

transmitting information in the most effective manner, pro-activeness has
been incorporated in this module since every person who communicates with
other people needs to apply positivity and jollity in order to provide a
meaningful and dynamic discussion instead of a blunt and dull one.
C. Teamwork and Collaboration – despite the challenges of distance learning,

the students are still engaged in collaborative activities where they can share
insights and aspects of their creativity through the stimulating activity and
even in the course of the modular lecture.
Start here:
 Teamwork and Collaboration – Just like what I did with my first module, I applied
teamwork and collaboration. We must work collaboratively to achieve our goals.
Communicating with my other classmates can help me if there are things I don’t
understand and I will also do the same thing to them.
 Doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way – All of us students do their way of

working something and to excel we just need to do our work exceptionally. For me to
learn, I need to adapt to the new environment and the new normal. I will encounter some
barriers in communicating through virtual but I must still live life just like everyone but
in an extraordinary way.
Rubrics:
1. Explains the concepts of communication and applies it in professional and
academic activities as a self-motivation in future business or career (5 pts)
2. Uses correct grammar, punctuation and spelling (3 pts)
3. Encodes font entries with accuracy and proficiency abiding by the following:
Times New Roman Font Style, 12 Font Size, 1 inch border per side (2 pts)
