BEGIN
Hello learner!
We communicate to express our thoughts
and feelings to other people. However, the
language that we use and how we use it vary
according to different situations.
We use different approaches when we talk
to different kinds of people. The way we
communicate to an elderly may vary greatly to the
way we communicate with our peers. It could
either be formal or informal.
In communicating, it is very important that
we consider the nature of our audience, the
situation where the communication takes place
and our credibility as speakers. And you will be
learning these all in this module.
Happy Learning!

KEEP THIS IN MIND
Nice job! Now that you have tried your best in

answering the activities above, I hope that
somehow you have already established ideas
about speech context .Learn more about it as
we continue the discussion.
People communicate with each other with varying number of

participants, channels, environment and context.
Context refers to an external and personal or public

considerations that help people understand the true meaning
of any utterance or discourse.
I. Intrapersonal Communication involves talking to oneself or a communication process

that takes place within one person. Talking to oneself is one of the things that others
consider as a necessary part of their daily routine.
This does not only allow you to audit how your day has happened; it also allows you to
affirm yourself for the good things you have done, or to remind you on the learning points you
gained from an event or situation. This is the context in which verbal and nonverbal
communication should be minimized.
Examples:
Contemplating on the course you

want to pursue.

(EN11/12OC-Ifj-15)
Congratulating yourself for a job well
done.
Having committed a serious mistake

and wanting to appease yourself
Thinking about a perfect place for a

first date.

(EN11/12OC-Ifj-15)
Recounting your experience in your
diary
Reflecting on an issue
II. Interpersonal Communication involves talking to one person or a limited number of

people. This requires you to adjust your speech to suit the character and personality of
the person or people you talk to. Since you are communicating with a limited number of
people, the opportunity for feedback and clarification is much greater.

(EN11/12OC-Ifj-15)
Two (2) types of Interpersonal Communication
1 Dyad Communication is an interpersonal communication that takes place between two

persons.
Examples:
Two classmates working together on

an activity given
A daughter sharing her first day of

school experience to her mother

(EN11/12OC-Ifj-15)
A customer asking the salesperson for
the price of a fruit
2. Small Group
When interpersonal communication is between three or more (as large as 15) people, it
is considered a small group. In a small group communication, you often have one who acts as
a leader or facilitator. This person can be appointed by the group or initiated by a person who
has the ability to facilitate the discussion among the participants. It is also often utilized by most
organizations for resolving and managing conflicts, for building consensus and for participatory
decision-making.
Examples:
A group consisting of members

discussing the points to highlight in
their thesis defense

(EN11/12OC-Ifj-15)
Few homeroom officers exchanging
ideas on how to make their
Christmas party fun.
III. Public Communication
Public communication involves communicating to a wide group of people with very

varied traits, backgrounds, interests, and persuasions. It, therefore, requires a lot of
background explanation in expressing your ideas. Engaging in this type of communication
means avoiding specialized language such as jargon or slang.
This type of communication also requires you to avoid topics or discussions that may
be understandable to only a select few. In addition, when communicating publicly, you avoid
any comment that may be prejudicial to a particular group of people. Public communication
also limits the opportunity for feedback and clarification due to the large number of
participants.
Examples:
Delivering a graduation speech to

your batch

(EN11/12OC-Ifj-15)
Joining in speech competitions
such as oration and declamation
or debate
Delivering your campaign speech

during the SSG election grand
rally.
IV. Mass Communication
This refers to communication that takes place through television, radio, newspapers,
magazines, books, billboards, internet, and other types of media.
Examples:
An activist expressing his sentiments

about social issues through a TV
interview

(EN11/12OC-Ifj-15)
Listening to the latest weather
update from a radio station
SUM UP
You are almost done with this module.

You have identified and distinguished the types
of speech context .This time, we need to recap
important details that you have learned in this
module.
Many think of communication as public speaking or a situation in which one speaker

addresses many listeners. Others think, it involves only two people talking to each other, but
communication can involve more than two people or an audience. I t can be a group discussion
on a certain topic, a radio or TV show focused on COVID 19, or it could even be a showcase
of different culture from all over the world.
Indeed, communication may be classified into different types based on the number of
participants in the process.
