You are attending an online class with your Oral
Communication teacher; however, you cannot
hear the teacher properly due to the road
construction happening outside your house.
What is the barrier and how can you avoid it?
 You were asked by your teacher to call your
classmate who's not been attending school since
yesterday. The moment they received the call, you
heard people cheering and having fun at the
background. You wanted to ask them why they did
not go to school, but the noise is too loud. Where do
you think your classmate is? How will you address
the barrier?
 You are in a sidewalk waiting for your
transportation to arrive. A girl your age
approached to ask you for directions, but due
to the noise of car horns around you, you
cannot hear them properly. What can you do
to hear the girl properly despite the noise
around you?
 Also called the "mental
barriers." These are the
social and personal
issues of a speaker
towards communicating
with others.
Your teacher asked a question and you know
the answer. However, you just whispered it
because you thought it was wrong. Turns out,
the answer you were thinking was correct.
How did you feel afterwards?
Have you ever been into an argument where
you were really mad?
How did you express your thoughts?
Do you tend to say something you do not
mean?
Were you able to listen?
 You were asked to deliver a speech for the
Buwan ng Wika celebration. When you saw
the huge crowd, you suddenly felt sweaty and
you were shaking. How would you deal with
your fright? If it's your friend who experienced
it, how can you help them?

intrinsic values, beliefs
and traditions in conflict

 Your friend is very curious about your religion
because you mentioned that you are okay with
eating blood or pork. You did not want them to
feel that you are imposing your religion, but
you wanted them to know why. How will you
explain your belief to them?
 Have you ever been into a household that
exercises a practice you've encountered for the
first time?
How did you react?
How were you able to understand that
practice?

depending on who you are talking to?
How do you figure out what speaking manner
is best for a certain scenario?
How do you adjust to the people around you?

word meanings. This also

and connotative
meanings which causes
misunderstandings and
confusions.
A Korean tourist asked you where the comfort
room is. Surprisingly, you understood what
they said but you don't know how to speak
their language. What are the ways for you to
help them find what they are looking for?
You have a friend who has speech defect. You
have been having a hard time in
communicating with them since you could not
