Research Purposive Communication: A Personal Narrative Experience of Non-Teacher

Title Education Students Fahad

To start with, this research-based article discusses the impact of purposive

communication on the non-teacher education students. According to their research, the purposive
communication course has a lot of benefits for non education students as it trains communication
skills, critical analysis, and improves the students’ vocabulary. Although it is not their main course
related to their programs, it has an advantage in different fields of programs as English language
communication is considered the standard for how people communicate around the world.

Haerazi et al., (2022), have affirmed that in the 21st century, students must possess the
ability to think critically, collaborate effectively, express themselves creatively, and communicate
effectively in order to be successful in both national and international competitions. Furthermore, it
has been demonstrated that a significant number of students from the Philippines participate in
national competitions, regardless of whether they are competing in a sport or an academic field, and
that communication skills have a significant influence on their performance.

According to, Loyola (2018) that traditional methods and techniques in the
Philippines, especially in the teaching of communication and other English courses to develop the
necessary skills, have not yet produced proficient English speakers or readers who can speak and
read English fluently and independently outside the classroom. In fact, learning a program that
complements the abilities of the non-educational students in which it improves their curriculum skills
can lead to a huge number of opportunities in their desired career fields, which will make them
knowledgeable and confident and stand out independently in local or international contexts with the
learnings in practical communication ahead of them.

According to Teodoresco (2010), Purposive communication courses focus on specific

learning results for each topic that is covered in the syllabus. Whereas, in general English courses,
the focus is on all 4 language skills (Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing), in the former ESP,
and now in Purposive, the focus is only on the skills that are relevant to the student's intended
profession. This means that the learner is specific and outcome-oriented. Purposive is intended for all
general programs because it teaches relevant related context in each program, whereas the learnings
in Purposive are not as traditional in programs that are not education teacher students. This strongly
supports the importance of PC, although some students find it difficult because they are not used to
speaking in front of many people as it is required in this course. Purposive Communication not only
develops the students' communicating skills but also develops the students' different capabilities such
as 'voice outing' and 'conquering the fears' and making it as part of the vocabulary' so that students
can use it in their perspective of dream professions.

In conclusion, this program may not be their primary course of study, but it will enable
them to accumulate a wealth of knowledge in their respective fields of expertise. It will challenge the
student's ability and strengthen it. I believe that Purposive Communication has played a significant
role in the teaching process, as it enables the learner to become the knowledgeable individual they
are expected to be.
