Communicative strategies are techniques on how to deal with difficulties encountered when
communicating. It can be a vehicle to employ verbal and non-verbal cues for communicating an idea.
Here are the seven communicative strategies:
1. Nomination - collaboratively and productively establishing a topic with the people you are talking
to. The act of putting forward or suggesting a topic for conversation.
Example: “Have you heard about the rising Covid-19 cases in our community?”
2. Restriction - refers to any limitation you may have as a speaker. This is the act of limiting what
will be said about the topic.
Example: “Let us discuss about the topic Consumer Health”
3. Turn-Taking – this is the way people engaged in a conversation manage their turns to speak.
Example: Can we all listen to the one who talks in front of us?
4. Topic Control – this is the ability to maintain the focus of the discussion on the current topic. This
only means that when a topic is initiated, it should be collectively developed by avoiding
unnecessary interruptions and topic shifts.
Example: Can we go back to the topic about Covid-19?
