kung paano natin naipapahayag ang ating mga gustong
sabihin sa pamamagitan ng Voice)

listen to you and it varies with Profile, Interests and
Education. (Ito yung mga tao na makikinig sayo at
nakadepende ka dapat sa kanilang Interest, Katayuan at
iba pa.)
Accept Cultural Settings - By immersing ourselves in
other cultures beyond our own, we can learn about each
other. (Hindi lahat tayo ay pare-parehas ng kultura, kaya
dapat i-accept natin ang kanilang kultura and kung paano
sila gumamit ng salita.)
11 Specific Objectives of Technical Communication
● Truth and Honesty - From the word itself, It
means telling facts should be must in Technical
Communication. (Kelangan totoo at honest ang
mga binibatawang salita o mga sinusulat).
● Listen actively, Read progressively - from the
word itself, Listen actively means listening by
applying it to yourself and Read progressively
means reading it as you mean it. (Kung makikinig
tayo dapat alam natin yung pinapakinggan naten,
hindi dapat puro kinig lang at basa lang).
● Avoid being judgemental - Avoid being
judgemental (Di ko na need i-explain, alam naman
natin lahat kugn ano meaning neto).
● Speak factually - Just like Truth and Honesty
(Kelangan totoo at honest ang mga binibatawang
salita o mga sinusulat).
● Avoid Negative tone - We should avoid doing it
because it has a bad effect on communication.
(Kelangan nasa positive tone of communicating
tayo palagi when communicating.)
● Use receivers preferred channel of
Communication - It is one of the important, asking
the receivers what they preferred. (Tanungin natin
sila kung mas gusto ba nila na Email, Text or Call
nalang kung mag co-communicate it is a sign of
respect).
● Avoid Interruption - We should avoid it also
because it is a form of respect. (Wag natin putulin
or i-interrupt yung nagsasalita, it is a sign na
nirerespeto natin yung kausap natin.)
● Civility don’t indulge in falsehood - From the
word itself (If alam mong hindi totoo, wag mo
panigan or paniwalaan).
Proving (Not sure if this is also a part of Fundamentals
and Properties) - It means asking questions related to the
topic (Ibig sabihin kelangan mo mag tanong ng related sa
topic)
