Topic 1: What is purposive communication?

Purposive communication is described as the use of language to write, speak, and present to
different audiences and for various purposes. This course aims to develop the competencies of
students in the field of communication. Through purposive communication, the students can
hone and improve their awareness in the cultural and intercultural aspects that will enable them
to communicate efficiently and appropriately to a wide variety of audience either in a local or
global context. In a previous knowledge, language is used professionally and academically. It is
important to know and gain knowledge about the purpose of communication seeing that this
may become a vital part in the academic endeavors of the students, their chosen disciplines, as
well as their future careers.

On one hand, a purpose of communication is for the academics. This pertains to the use of
language in research studies, thesis, and other academic papers. The flow of communication is
smooth since the language used is familiar to everyone. It is common to the academe and is
easily comprehended and understood. Language, on the other hand, is also used professionally,
wherein the jargons or lexicons are used. Jargons are special words or expressions that are used
by a particular group or profession and are difficult for others to understand. For example,
engineers use the word blueprint to pertain to a design or pattern of an infrastructure or
building to be followed. Acute in medical terms is different from acute in mathematics. The
purpose of communication does not merely stop on the abovementioned but extends to the
nature, elements and functions of verbal and non-verbal conveyance in a diverse and all-
inclusive context. It also helps in determining culturally appropriate terms, expressions, and
images. It also aims to give knowledge about the principles of academic text structure.

Purposive communication plays an important role in the context of today’s era. One should be
aware and knowledgeable of the varieties and registers of the language and communication.
One of the most important factors that would meet the goals and aims of communication in
terms of its purpose is when one is able to identify their audience, may it be in terms of their
social status, background and the like, and be able to convey and communicate efficiently and
appropriately through the use of accepted terms and expressions. Communication is
rudimentary to the life and
success of humanity. It is the process of generating and exchanging ideas, opinions, feelings and
knowledge for the purpose of achieving a shared understanding among the people.
Communication is a necessity to the human being hence, being knowledgeable enough about
the purposes of communication is a must.

Topic 2 : What is the most important lesson you have learned from purposive
communication?

I learned what communication is and how the communication exist in other country. Also, I
learned that communication has a process,a process of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
In which the macro skills holds with it. However,I found out in this subject that speaking and
writing is under productive skills, that this skills are the one who send a messages or the one
who produce information. While listening and reading,on the other hand is under receptive
skills. This skills is the one who receive a messages. In addition, communication has 8
components and different kinds of principle of communication though we focus only on the
principles of communication by Michael Osburn 2019 which states in his theory that there is
only principles of communication.

So purposive communication is a communication or thing that is focused on doing

and helping to create interactions between individuals and groups, which uses information to
connect with the surrounding environment.Communication is a process, what is meant by
process here is an activity that takes place continuously on an ongoing basis. There is no
standard form for a process, as well as communication which is always changing according to
variations and the elements that make it up. And as a process, communication also demands
the result of the process, namely change.

Communication can occur intentionally or unintentionally, intentional communication occurs

because the message sent by the communicator has a specific purpose for the intended
recipient.Ideally, this should have the desired effect. But it is not easy, many factors influence it.
Communication can also occur accidentally, but can be received intentionally by anyone who is
currently within reach.Based on the principles mentioned above, we can conclude that
communication that occurs is a process that takes place continuously and involves elements of
communication as a whole. This process is said to be successful if in the end there is a change in
the recipient of the message, as expected by the sender of the message and will ultimately
create interaction between those involved in the process.

Topic 3: What are the benefits of effective communication?

Effective communication is an art, there’s always room to keep learning, growing, and
developing our talents. This is why we always need to be continuously developing this skill. The
benefits of having good communication skills are enormous and will have a positive influence on
both your personal and professional life. A business that promotes the benefits of good
communication will result in employees understanding their roles and responsibilities, and help
to build trustworthy and positive colleague and client relationships. And in turn, these skills can
help in reducing errors or failures.

Trust: The ability to listen to others, discuss options/opinions and embrace conversation
demonstrates to others that you are wanting to make the best decisions for your group or
business. Communication can also build trust between an employee and their manager as they
accomplish tasks, deliver opinions and ideas, and set goals for themselves (and the business).
This is true in both trusting the people that you work with but also the trust that is required
between an employee and their clients or customers.
Team building: Whether it is dividing the responsibility of tasks among multiple people or
making sure one person knows that it’s their responsibility, trust and communication is key so
all team members have the same understanding of the expectations and duties of the team.
Communication within a team creates a more positive working environment for your staff and
what’s more, if your team feels like they can talk to the more senior staff about any
concern/queries too, this creates trust and loyalty.
Better relationships: This is true in both your personal and professional lives! But in the
workplace, listening to what someone is saying, offering feedback, providing suggestions or
simply replying to an email demonstrates mutual respect and helps people feel heard.
As well as the above, one of the biggest parts of business is the retention of customers and the
referral they can give, and if you make a positive impression on your customers because of the
communication they’ve had with you - the better their referral and the more likely they are to
stay with you!
Increased job satisfaction: An employee who feels trusted and works with others who also
practise effective communication at work are more likely to experience increased job
satisfaction. The environment you create for your team members will have an impact on how
engaged employees are in their roles
Increase productivity and engagement: By providing employees with the tools to work
confidently so that they know what is expected of them, they will be more likely to engage with
their work and workplace as a whole. What's more is that staff who are engaged in their roles
and have a good understanding of their duties and responsibilities are less concerned with other
workplace issues and distractions and can focus on their tasks at hand, therefore increasing
productivity.
Problem-solving: Communication is one of the most important parts of solving and preventing
problems. You should make sure all staff are heard and everyone involved has a chance to
speak, and come to a solution that everyone agrees to and resolves the problem.
Handle conflict

More often than not, conflict will happen because of poor communication. Open communication
between all employees is essential in preventing misunderstandings and conflict. So you might
find that you have to adjust your communication style to individuals to have more positive
relationships.
Remember, there’s no such thing as a perfect communicator. No one will get it right every time,
and that’s not a bad thing. Just remember that all experiences are an opportunity for employees
to develop their skills. Both the personal and professional relationships of staff will improve and
become much stronger and healthier because of it!
Communication Skills Training: Our Communication Skills Training Course is perfect for all levels
of staff and it is something that every employee should practice. The course will cover the
different ways we communicate; what effective communication looks like; and what some of
the barriers are that stand in our way. Users will also learn more about simple strategies to
overcome those barriers and improve their communication skills.

Topic 4: Compare then and now on the use of technology and how does it
help us.

As time moves forward, everything around us changes. We have become a generation almost entirely
dependent on technology, and it goes without saying that things were done very differently decades ago
than they are now. But as much as some people like to say our reliance on technology hinders us, we
can’t deny that it’s made life a lot simpler!Here are a few things technology has made so much easier for
us!

Communication
Then: Snail mail was a primary source of communication then, as opposed to today, where it is the
primary source of junk mail. I remember having pen pals in elementary school and being incredibly
excited about writing letters and buying stamps. While there’s something very romantic about the idea
of snail mail, it’s called snail mail for a reason—it’s slow and ultimately, inconvenient.
Now: Today, we use literally anything else but snail mail to communicate with each other. Whether it’s
email, text, video chat, fax or instant messaging, we have an arsenal of technologies that allow us to
contact each other without having to find a mailbox. Technology has successfully shortened
communication from several days to mere minutes.
Transportation
Then: There’s nothing more inconvenient than horse buggies, ships and those little covered wagons you
used to drive on that dreadful Oregon Trail game. Forget about the ridiculous amount of time it takes to
get everywhere, talk about uncomfortable! People regularly died trying to get from point A to point B.
Now that’s inconvenient.
Now: Our modes of transportation today are the definition of glamorous. From the first class plane rides
to the flashy sports cars, everything today is about speed, safety and comfort. Even if all we can afford is
a plane ride in coach or a ride in a 90s Honda, it still beats taking months to go a few states over.
Entertainment
Then: Plays are definitely still a great source of entertainment today, but its medieval counterpart isn’t
all too great. Even if special effects were a little better, let’s remember that women were played by
men because the stage was “no place for a female.” Let’s leave the outdated ideals in the past, shall we?
Now: Thank goodness for the movie theaters, cable television, Netflix, video games and phone apps! Not
only are things a little more fun than they were back then, we’re also starting to get more diverse media
representation whether it’s gender, race, religion or sexual orientation. Now that’s what I call progress.
Sure, technology sometimes makes us complacent (especially as college students; we’re too eager to
procrastinate with some Orange Is the New Black on Netflix). But without the awesome progression of
technology, we’d still be using outhouses and screaming out our windows to talk to our friends. Our
dependency on technology isn’t such a bad thing.

Topic 5 : Cite a problem you encountered on miscommunication or

misunderstanding .How did you solve it? Intervention done?
Miscommunications can be funny, frustrating, or upsetting. If you want to decrease miscommunications,
speak clearly and remove your assumptions. Check in with the person to make sure you’re understood.
When communicating electronically, be clear, concise, and informative. Being a good listener can help
avoid miscommunications, too. When you put some effort into your conversations, you can lower your
risk of miscommunicating.

Think before you speak. Thinking about your words allows you to organize your thoughts and prepare
to say something meaningful. Especially if you’re about to have an important conversation, make sure
your words are organized so that you can say what you mean.
Remember that your attitude and tone can communicate quite a lot. Keep your focus narrow and try not
to get off topic.
If you have trouble saying what you want to say, write down some bullet points to make sure you cover
all you want to say.
Take an intentional pause before speaking. Very often the instinct is to hurl headlong into a discussion.
But purposefully putting in pauses and taking a moment to compose your thoughts before speaking will
make it more likely your communication is clear, and your audience ready to listen.
Get their attention. Having a person's attention means making sure they are listening and
understanding the words you say. Make eye contact and check in to make sure they are listening. If the
other person is distracted or in the middle of doing something else, either get their attention or try
another time. If they seem distracted by other things, ask for their attention by saying, “I need to make
sure you understand this” or, “I’d appreciate your full attention.”
If the person seems distracted, say that you’ll talk later when they are more available.
For example, if you need to talk to someone yet they’re in the middle of something, let them know that
you need to talk and want their attention.
Avoid calling out or yelling at people to get attention--go up to them and speak face to face whenever
possible.
Understand body language. Much of communication is nonverbal. Pay attention; it can be very
important. Maintain eye contact and notice any changes in your eye contact or the other person’s eye
contact. Notice a person’s posture and facial expressions and see if there are any inconsistencies. If you
do notice differences, ask a question again or seek clarification
Avoid interrupting. If someone else is speaking, do your best not to interrupt them. Let them complete
their thoughts before adding to them or saying something else. This shows that you’re listening and care
about what they are saying. If you tend to interrupt people often, they may feel frustrated in talking to
you and may not communicate all they wish to say.
Letting someone complete their thoughts means that you’re fully listening and are not preoccupied with
your own words. This way, they will feel more comfortable in sharing everything and won’t miss
something they meant to say because the conversation got sidetracked.
Organize information. If you're trying to communicate information, you need to be sure the information
gets to the person effectively. For example, if you're planning an event, you need to give important
details: place, time, and what people need to bring. Spell out any directions or steps people need to take
and make sure the information is clear.
Before you send the information or invitation, check to make sure it has all the information necessary.
Get right to the point. While it’s okay to start your emails with, “How are you?” or another pleasantry,
don’t spend too much time talking about something unrelated from what you want. Zero in on your
NAME: MANAYSAY, ADRIEL M. DATE: FEBRURAY 18, 2023
YEAR&SEC: BSTM 2-1A PROF: MRS.IMELDA GENOVATE

request or information you want to share with the person. Don’t dance around it or provide a lengthy
lead-up. Instead, get to the point of what you want to or have to say
