What’s New

Activity 2 Fill in the Information

This time, you will provide an information for each situation in the box.

DIRECTIONS: Fill in the information that can be contained in each of the following
types of communication. Fill in the graphic organizer with the information needed.
Answer in ten minutes only.

So, what do you think of each of the situation? They actually talk about
speech context. Get to know speech context in “What is it?”

10
 What is It

The situations you have encountered in the previous activity are called types of
speech context.

Type of Speech Context

1. Intrapersonal – This type of communication refers to the communicator’s internal

use of language or thought. It is the communication with oneself where the
communicator is both the sender and the receiver of the message. The channel
is your brain, which processes what you are thinking and feeling. Talking to
yourself is the feedback in this situation (Hybels & Weaver, 2012, p 16).
Examples:
A student thought of strategies on how he should do his report in class and
spent time thinking what his teacher would say after the report.
Jungkook was practicing in front of a mirror what to say to Lisa for his
marriage proposal. He was asking what Lisa would probably say after such
proposal.

2. Interpersonal – This type of communication occurs between two or more people

who exchange information, feelings, and meanings using of verbal and non-verbal
messages. Solomon and Theiss (2013) states that the word ”inter” emphasizes how
people connect while the word “personal” refers to the unique qualities as a person
has during such communication (p. 5).

Types of Interpersonal Context

11
 Dyad Communication – communication that occurs between two people
Example:
You comforted your friend who was just heartbroken.
A husband and wife talked about their child’s achievement.

Small Group – This type of communication has at least three, but not more than
twelve people involve in a face-to-face conversation. The participants in this
communication are open to ideas and discussions to achieve their goals.

Example:
You are participating in a group meeting on how the assigned task be done
successfully.
You are having a meeting with your fan club on how to give gifts to your
idols.

3. Public – This type of communication happens when the person is engaged in a

dialogue before or in front of the audience. The speaker’s voice is louder and the
gestures are more expansive because the audience is bigger. Additional visual
channels like slides or a Power Point presentation may also be used for the
audience to better understand the speech.” (Hybels & Weaver, 2012, p 19)

12
 Example:
A valedictorian delivered her speech during their graduation day.

Lisa participated in a declamation contest watched by several people.

5. Mass Communication – This type of communication uses mass media to large

segments of the population through television, radio, newspapers, magazines,
books, billboards, internet, and other types of media.

Example:
A politician is interviewed live on television about his stand on Anti-
Terrorism Law.

A student’s post on Facebook looking for her biological mother went viral.
