Oral communication in

CONTEXT

(BASED ON K-12 ENGLISH COMPETENCIES)

Prepared by:
FETTY JAMIS GILO
 INTRODUCTION

A learning Module in Oral Communication in Context for Grade 11 Students is an interactive module

designed to meet the needs of the 21st century learners. It is anchored on a holistic approach in developing the

basic learning competencies of the K-12 Basic Education Curriculum. The lessons per quarter aim to develop the

listening and speaking skills and strategies for effective communication in various situations.

As learners in the K-12 curriculum, they are expected to have effective communication skills in several

languages, primarily English (and Filipino). In this generation, it means being able to say or write the right thing

at the right time, in the right place, and to the right person; thus, Speak right and Make a Difference is the answer

to your needs.

The author’s intent in this module is to design instruction that takes into consideration the core standards

for Senior High School and the College Readiness Standards. Listening and speaking skills will not only equip

learners to succeed in college but also prepare them for the 21st century challenges.
FOR GRADE 11 Nature and Elements of Communication

Communication is very vital to our everyday lives. We cannot live without communicating because we
need to share thoughts, impart information, persuade others in our beliefs, and show our love and affection.
Knowing how to communicate well means knowing where one wishes to go and which road to take to get to their
destination. Effective communication means knowing the reason why we communicate, the need to define our
purpose, and determine the best way to achieve it.
I. Objectives:

A. Define communication,
B. explain the nature and process of communication (EN11/12OC-Ia-2),
C. determine the functions and principles of communication, and
D. discuss the importance of effective communication in the society to enhance learners’ knowledge
about it, spread love, and become well-disciplined.

Let’s get started!

TASK 1

Communication is…
According to Wood (2004), communication is a systematic process in which individuals interact with and
through symbols to create and interpret meanings (as cited in Agnaou, 2012).
Wood’s definition suggests the qualities that are inherent in communication.
1. Communication is a process. It is a creative, continuing condition of life, a process that changes as
the communicator’s environments and needs change.

Many words in English have become obsolete, trite, or altered in their meanings while new words
have evolved. Nowadays we hear previously unheard-of blended words or mash ups, such as chillax
(chill+relax), means “calm down;” frenemy (friend+enemy), “false friend.”

2. Communication is systemic. It occurs within systems of interrelated and interacting parts.

The various components of communication, speaker/sender, listener/receiver, message, medium,

channel, feedback, content, and noise, are linked to one another as parts of one system. The absence
of any one of them can result to ineffective communication.

3. Communication is symbolic. Symbols, verbal (with words) or nonverbal (without words), are the
basis of language.
 Verbal symbols are spoken (using voice and speech sounds) or written (using letters or
characters). Nonverbal ones are employed and perceived through our body language and voice
quality while speaking. Our body language includes our gestures, facial expressions, eye contact,
posture, or touch. The quality of our voice refers to the tone, pitch, rate, volume, and emphasis that
we use.

4. Communication involves meanings. Contrary to what many think or believe, meanings are assigned,
given, or invented, not received.

Flags, crowns, crosses, and traffic signals, for example, do not contain meanings; their
meanings are assigned to them. Our physical and social environments, including the messages
depending on our frame of reference, as well as on whom we are communicating with and what,
when, where, how are communication.

We invent meanings in countless social situations when we talk with people who share or
oppose our purposes.

TASK 3
The Process of Communication

Communication is made up of several components. The process of communication is best understood if

you know how these various components come into play in the stages of any communication situation.

In this part, identify the answers of the definitions given below. Choose the right answer from the box
provided. Write the letter of the correct answer.

Stage 1:

a. Speaker/sender b. Channel
c. Medium d. Message
 1. It is the source of the message that is encoded into symbols that are verbal (with words) and/or
nonverbal (without words).
2. Any information or anything the speaker/sender wants to communicate by using a medium.
3. A form in which the speaker/sender conveys the message, which may probably be speech,
conversation, letter, email, blog, newspaper, book, and the like, through a channel (“The
communication process,”2011).
4. The mode, method, or means of sending or expressing the message, which may perhaps be through
any of the five senses – sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste (Padilla et al., 2011). It may also be
(a) sound and light waves in a face-to-face, “in-person speaking situation,” or (b) digital audio
and video signals in a mediated, “with-a-remote-audience speaking situation” (“Elements of
Speech,” 2015).

Stage 2:

a. Listener/receiver b. Context
c. Noise/Interference/Distraction d. Feedback

1. It gets the message in the medium desired through the chosen channel, and decodes the
message.
2. It is the receiver’s response, verbally or nonverbally – silence included, to the message sent. It
is affected by one’s frame of reference, which is the sum of a person’s knowledge, experience,
goals, values, and attitudes. No two people can exactly have the same frame of reference. It
varies from person to person. Your response might be different from the response of your
classmates, relatives, or even best friend. Silence is considered as well.
3. It is the situation or environment in which communication takes place, which includes time,
place, event, as well as sender’s and receiver’s feelings. Perceptions, beliefs, attitudes, and
relationships (“The communication process,” 2011; Padilla et al., 2011).
4. It is anything that impedes or gets in the way of accurately sending, receiving, and interpreting
the message, whether it be internal – from the sender or receiver, or external – from the
environment (Lucas, 2000).

COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGY
AND SPEECH ACT

To express our thoughts, feelings, and ideas effectively in a language, we need to have not only
grammatical competence but also communicative competence (Hymes, 1966, as cited in Midoul, 2011).
To have communicative competence, your individual manner or style of speaking or communicating, your speech
act, or your communicative strategy varies depending on the occasion, audience, shared experience, subject
matter, and purpose of communication (Shafie, Mustaffa, & Yahya, 2011). And this module will teach you as to
why.

I. Objectives:

A. determine types of speech act,

B. responds appropriately and effectively to a speech act (EN11/12OC-Ifj-20),
C. determine types of communicative strategy,
D. use various communicative strategies in order to avoid communication breakdown (EN11/12OC-
Ia-6),
E. use of communicative strategy in a variety of speech situations, and
F. develop learners' skills in effective communication by exercising self-discipline and enhance its
knowledge to become globally competitive individual.

Let’s get started!

The three kinds of speech act are locutionary act, illocutionary act, and perlocutionary act.

Locutionary Act Locutionary Act Perlocutionary Act

is speaker's is an action or state

is the act of of mind brought
making a intention in about by, or as a
meaningful delivering an consequence of,
utterance utterance saying something

Ex: It's hot in Ex: It's hot in

Ex: It's hot in here. (what we
here. (what we here. (what we
mean when we accomplish by
say) saying it)
say it)
 TASK 1
Hone your skills

Show how each sentence or utterance consists of three related acts: locutionary, illocutionary, and
perlocutionary.
Example:
Locutionary: The popcorn is delicious.
Illocutionary: To invite / offer / state a fact
Perlocutionary: The Listener buys popcorn.
1. Give me the book.
Locutionary: 3. I can’t stand the noise outside the room.

TASK 2
Expand your knowledge
Discourse is a socially and culturally organized way of speaking in which patterns of communication are
used for certain purposes and in particular contexts, and how they come out from the application of
communicative strategies (Schiffrin, 1994, as cited in Raulinajtys, 2011). The communicative strategies are:

1. Topic Nomination is choosing a topic and opening or starting it for discussion.

2. Topic restriction is confining or limiting the development of the topic and keeping it within
bounds. This may be done by interrupting the one speaking or avoiding the topic altogether.
3. Turn-taking refers to the exchange of turns or instances when each speaker talks in an
interaction.
4. Topic Control is directing and regulating the flow or development of the interaction.
5. Topic Shifting means changing the topic or its direction and emphasis.
6. Repair is fixing and correcting anything negative, or providing any kind of amends and remedy
to something that has gone wrong in the exchange between the two speakers.
7. Topic Termination is ending concluding, or closing the conversation or interaction.
 Closing and saying “goodbye,” for instance, are culture-specific. Some cultures have minimal or no
closing requirements, while others, like American English, have elaborate ones.

an explanation about it.
