People communicate every day to build and maintain

relationships, recognize and understand themselves, and find


meaning in daily situations.
A process that takes part when a person wants to convey a
message. This is what connects us as human beings. Society
cannot function without communication whether face-to-face
or video conferencing across international boundaries.

Declarations

people communicate with others.

speak depending on the situation.

Frozen Style Casual Style


Formal Style Intimate Style
Consultative Style

enables the Message and its Delivery to be adjusted/modified.

of the speech purpose but also the improvement of the speaker's
and listener's communication experience.

forms that reflect the types of competencies. (Lander, 2016.)

sentence structures.
2. Informal -> allows the use of nonstandard English forms and typically shorter
sentence structures
Colloquial / Casual -> commonly used in everyday, unconstrained conversation
3. Slang -> a vocabulary that is used between two people who belong to the same
social group and who know each other well.
4. Jargon -> refers to the specialized language of a professional or occupational
group. While this language is often useful or necessary for
those within the group, it is usually meaningless to outsiders.

It is defined as the length or time of the

intent of the communication

reminisce experiences or reflect personal decisions

DURATION OF INTERACTION IN
COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES
Common strategies in communication such as NOMINATION, TURN-
TAKING, TOPIC SHIFTING, and REPAIR do not require significant
time.

TOPIC CONTROL
may be too lengthy in controlling the topic
the speaker must ensure that during the entire process of
communication, the discussion of the topic does not go beyond the
indicated agendum.
When there is a particular connection between the speaker
and the receiver.
Bond between the encoder and decoder which may affect
depend on how the discussion relate to receivers' interests
and knowledge.
Establishing a strong-positive relationship with the audience is a vital aspect of
the communication process. However, this may also be affected if the speaker
may abruptly shifts in strategy without considering the nature and profile of the
audience.

Generally, the speaker is expected to create positive relationships


among his/her listeners. Positive relationship does not mean having


an intimate or familial relationship with everyone. This means
creating an acceptable, desirable, recognizable, reputable, and
respectful image among the receivers/listeners/audiences. This
lessens emotional barriers like envy and hatred but develops a positive
and accepting atmosphere on the part of the receivers of the message.
Creating positive relationships begins even
before standing on a stage. This can be done
by smiling, greeting someone, and reflecting

on humble and polite characteristics.


Having a positive relationship is applicable
and advisable across speech acts, speech
contexts, speech styles, and
communicative strategies for effective
communication.
A change depending on your listener and the context. If
you are a child to your parent, you are a student to your
teachers.
Foremost role is to clearly send the message to the
intended receiver
The speaker’s foremost role is to clearly send the message to the intended
receiver. Except in intrapersonal communication and most frozen styles,
the speaker can interchange roles as both the speaker and the receiver but
not at the same time. He can use various speech acts and communicative
strategies to successfully relay his intended message and receive acceptable

feedback.

In public speaking and mass communication, it is the responsibility of


the speaker to be credible, presentable, friendly, and enthusiastic, relay
accurate facts, relay to the listeners’ situations, feelings, and motives,
make the topic relevant, and properly observe ethics with positive
intentions for the audience.
The core concept of the interaction.
Statement conveyed from one person or group to
another.

How does shifting of

communicative strategy

affect the delivery?


When we interfere a discussion in the middle or

there is a shift in the communication strategy, it

affects the communication a lot in terms of

information, speech context, speech style and

many more. The message delivered is also

stopped and some other conclusion is drawn.


How does the shift of speech

context style and strategies

affect the way you

communicate?
When we change the any of the four, speech

style, speech context, speech act and

communicative strategy, it affects the

language a lot. It gives a completely different

impression to the listener and changes the

duration of interaction considerably.
