This infographic is just one of the many ways the health experts and
government officials can reach people to be informed of the health guidelines and be
convinced to stay at home and to stay healthy. Reaching out to people is an example
of communication. Everything that revolves around the world is communication. So,
what is communication? How is communication important for you? What are some
factors to be considered when we communicate? Why should we learn to communicate

you!

Warming Up
Compare love songs of the 80s with those which are popularized in the 2000s. You
may specify a song from the 80s and another from today’s generation Using the
Venn diagram, identify their common and unique features like:
1. The message of the songs
2. For whom are these songs dedicated to
3. The language used
4. Your personal point of views about the two songs

Write your answers in the Venn Diagram

1980s songs 2000s songs

Establishing links
From your answers in the Venn Diagram, what realizations can you derive from
the activity? Which music era do you think has a more meaningful way of
communicating its message? Why did you say so? Perhaps your answers would vary.
This variation would entail that men have different principles about their typical songs.
Whatever that may be, recognizing such principles is essential. Since songs are
communication platforms just like the usual conversation to a friend, a songwriter
considers principles about how he should communicate to his listeners.

Applying your Learning

Plan making a two-stanza poem. In your planning, consider the principles of
communication discussed in this lesson
Principles Your considerations

you!
Warming Up
Mention a famous speaker (he or she could be a local or an international speaker).
Enumerate the things you like and dislike about that speaker (i.e. the way he/she
talks). Use the graphic organizer below and write your answers on the worksheet.

Establishing links
From the lists of your likes and dislikes about your identified speaker, why did
you arrive at such impressions? Are there more likes over the dislikes? Or the other
way around? Is the speaker admirable in general or not?
Perhaps the comments or impressions you gave to the speaker tells about how
good or bad he is as a communicator. Being good or bad to a certain degree may entail
something about the nature of ethics. And, in this issue of communication, ethics is but
a powerful agent for one to be called an effective communicator.

Applying and Evaluating your Learning

From the different ethical standards discussed in this lesson, assess yourself by
filling in with some items from the list that you think need to be improved in you as a
communicator.

Establishing links
From the video clip you have chosen, what were your observations of the four
English speakers? Describe their accent or pronunciation. How different is the word
choice among the four speakers? Do they have unique gestures and expressions when
they speak? All these questions lead us to the idea that truly English is dependent as
to how a person has been taught or exposed to the language. Also, geographical
issues contribute to how English has become for the people in the area. True enough,
there is no correct nor perfect English. That is the idea of the World Englishes came to
birth. However, two from these different Englishes make impact to the world –
American English and British English.

matter? What is its impact to our venture of becoming effective and purposeful
communicators? We shall find out the answers to these questions in this lesson.

account or who is just plainly not a fan of social media. Create at least five questions
about why that person does not like to communicate using social media.

Establishing links
Summarize the answers of the interviewee from the activity above. What is your
general reflection about the views of the interviewee? Why does he or she not like the
idea of using social media? Could there be an instance that he or she had a negative
experience in the social media like being bullied? Or could he or she be a victim of
fake news posted in social media? Whatever the reasons the interviewee has about
social media, it is necessary to consider that there are still many other people who
have the same sentiments about the use of social media. Perhaps, using social media,
and not social media alone is the problem. Hence, knowing the proper use of social
media should be known and followed by netizens.

Applying your Learning

Search on the internet about “Law on Cybercrime”. Pick out from the law at least 5

Given the COVID-pandemic we are in, the most common mode of communication we
have is through online platforms such as SNS sites like Facebook, Twitter, and
Instagram. Open the messenger app in your phone and find the following

Compare your entries from the two conversations. Do they differ or are they
quite similar? In what way?
The way you communicate with someone involves a lot of factors to consider
(eg. relationship, age gap, etc.). When you communicate with someone in the
workplace, you take into account his or her position in the company, your level of
intimacy, and the subject of your conversation. Usually, you maintain a level of respect
and formality when talking to someone you consider a senior or from higher positions.
On the other hand, with close peers, informality can be observed in your conversations.
