MODULE IN ORAL COMMUNICATION

Context in speech is the situation that brings people to a conversation or a speaking
event. It also involves the particular time and place of communication. It also includes
the shared understanding of the communicators on the topic of the communication. It is
important for communicators to understand the environment and situational context of
the speech they are delivering or listening.

TYPES OF SPEECH CONTEXT

1. Intrapersonal

Interpersonal is a type of communication that centers on one person

where the speakers act both as a sender and receiver. This message is made up
of your thoughts and feelings. The channel is your brain which processes what
you are thinking and feeling. There is feedback in the sense that as you talk to
yourself, you discard certain ideas and place them with others. (Hybels and
Weaver,2012,p.16)
Humans are constantly involves in thinking, dreaming, imagining and
worrying about different happenings in their surroundings. This communication is
intrapersonal when person communicates within himself or herself. Experts
believe that effective communication with others must start with effective
communication with oneself.

Example:
1. You spent the night thinking and analysing why a student from the other
class talked to you on the way home and you decided it probably meant
nothing!
2. You felt happy while thinking about how your teacher appreciated you for
submitting your project before due date and you reflected on why this was
so.

Dimensions of “Self” (Steinberg, 2007)

MODULE IN ORAL COMMUNICATION
PREPARED BY: MRS.MARNIE GODIENESS & MS. MAE JOY M. ESTERA
1. Physical self- is a material body with the internal functions and outward
appearance. Aesthetic appearance oftentimes communicates the personality
of a human being. Accessories or the things that go with their bodies
establish the status or preference of people.
2. Emotional self- is the affective side of people. People show their emotional
self when they decide on circumstances based on what they feel rather than
what they think. However, people are reminded that emotional responses to
situation are often temporary and should not be the basis of generalization.
3. Intellectual self- is the cognitive part of a human being. This is the way a
person processes his/ her reasoning, analysis and logical thinking. People’s
view of their intellectual ability may determine their confidence on
understanding things.
4. Moral self- is the ethical beliefs and values being observed by people. Their
morals reflect on their behaviour towards different situations or other people.

2. Interpersonal

A type of communication between and among people and establishes

personal relationship. According to Solomon and Theiss, 2013: “inter”- highlights
how interpersonal communication connects people “personal”- unique qualities
as a person matter during interpersonal communication.

Humans are naturally social beings; they are made to interact with others
at any given chance according to a number of tourist, Filipinos are hospitable
and friendly perhaps because they are good in interpersonal communication.
This speech context is examined between two people or more, especially among
strangers who are developing and maintaining a communication rapport.

Effects of Interpersonal Communication

 LEARNING It allows people to gather information about themselves,
other people, past, present or predicted or events; beliefs and attitudes.
 HELPING It provides people advice, emotional support, assistance that
can help them personally or others with problem.
 INFLUENCING It allows people to persuade another person to provide
help, share an activity, change in attitude, counsel a relationship, give
permission or fulfil an obligation.
 RELATING It allows people to experience closeness or distance,
agreement or disagreement, equality or inequality with others.

celebration, or pass time or coordinate fun activities.

more than twelve people engaging in a face-to-face interaction to achieve a
desired goal. In this type of communication, all participants can freely share
ideas in a loose and open discussion.

3. Public – This type refers to communication that requires you to deliver or

send the message before or in front of a group. The message can be driven by
informational or persuasive purposes. “In public communication, unlike in
interpersonal and small group, the channels are more exaggerated. The voice is
louder and the gestures are more expansive because the audience is bigger.
The speaker might use additional visual channels such as slides or a Power
Point presentation.” (Hybels & Weaver, 2012, p 19)

Example:
 You deliver a graduation speech to your batch.
 You participate in a declamation, oratorical, or debate contest watched by
a number of people.

Benefits of Public Speaking

1. Career Advancement
Effective public speaking skills can help career advancement, as they
indicate creativity, critical thinking skills, leadership abilities, poise, and
professionalism, qualities which are very valuable for the job market.
Speaking at events and conference is a good way of building credibility.

achievements to your resume.

2. Boost Confidence
Public speaking can significantly boost your confidence. Overcoming
the fears and insecurities that accompany public speaking is empowering.
Furthermore connecting with audiences can be strong reminder that you
have valuable insights and opinions to share with the world.
Your confidence levels will grow as you go from speaking to small
groups of people up to large audiences. This will benefit you not just on
stage, but in everyday life as well, whether it be in a meeting or on a date.

3. Critical Thinking
Public speaking is an excellent way to build critical thinking skills.
Writing a speech requires a great deal of careful thought, from the audience
analysis to the closing sentence. It’s not enough to have a message. You
also need to figure out how to tailor the message to fit the need of your
audience.

4. Personal Development
Communication skills are crucial for personal and professional success
and improving this area is one of the greatest benefits of public speaking.
Preparing a speech forces speakers to take a step back and think critically
about effective ways to communicate . In everyday life, it’s easy to fall back
on communication habits we formed many years ago.

5. Improve Communication Skills

When you write a speech, you have to think carefully about the best
framework, persuasive strategy, can diction to communicate your message
to the audience. This type of thinking can help you improve your
communication skills in other areas of your life.

6. Make New Social Connections

Public speaking engagements are good places to meet other people
who share you interests. You’ll find that people approach you after your
presentation to engage conversation. It makes it much easier to make new
social connections. Try to mingle with the audience for as long as you can
after your speech, answering questions and seeking fresh perspective on
your topic.

7. Learn to Persuade
Public speaking has a long history as a catalyst for nonviolent activism
and political change. It is powerful way to unite people under a common
cause and motivate them to take action. It’s no secret that people
throughout history have used the power of public speaking to make
differences.
You will hardly ever have a better opportunity to speak to a captive
audience about what really matters to you. You will get a chance to
influence your peers. You won’t change the world with speech, but you can
easily impact someone in some small way.

8. Develop your Vocabulary and Fluency

You will know the effect of the words you choose to express your
message and you will also know they need to be different for different
audiences. As well as having a flexible vocabulary, you will no longer use
common filler words we hear in everyday conversation indicating that the
speaker may be unsure about what they are saying or anxious about
speaking.

9. No Fear of Impromptu Speaking

8
MODULE IN ORAL COMMUNICATION
PREPARED BY: MRS.MARNIE GODIENESS & MS. MAE JOY M. ESTERA
 When called upon to say a few words at a moment’s notice at a
wedding, awards ceremony, or other special occasion, your heart will not
pound. Instead you will find yourself graciously accepting the opportunity for
an impromptu speech. This is a huge benefit of public speaking and you will
stop constantly worrying at formal events about being asked to speak.

4. Mass Communication – This refers to communication that takes place

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

A few centuries ago people knew only a few kinds of communication. They
could speak to each other, they could send their message from one place to
another by smoke signals. Later on, they also had some newspapers. The first
expansion of media was when the radio and television were invented. The second
and the biggest boom started in the 1960s when the first communication satellite
was launched into orbit.
Media are very important for us. They give us big amount of information
that help us to understand things, they say that media are very good teachers
because it helps to educate people by giving necessary information about certain
things.
There are four mains means of mass communication: Newspaper, TV, Radio and
the Internet.

a. Newspaper
Newspapers are the oldest kind of communication but we can say that they are
today quite old-fashioned. It is a periodical publication containing written
information about current events and is often typed in black in with a white or
grey background. Newspaper publication usually issued daily, weekly, or at other
times that can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports and
art and often include materials such as opinions, columns, weather forecast,
reviews of local services, obituaries, birth notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons,
comic strips and advice columns. Traditional newspaper have been published in
print. However today most newspaper are also published on websites as online
newspaper, and some have even abandoned their print versions entirely.
Nowadays you can read newspaper in the Internet too.

b. Radio
The radio is the greatest invention on earth. The radio was discovered in 1904 by
an Italian inventor named Guglielmo Marconi. Radio is the technology of signalling
and communicating using radio waves. Radio is the second oldest kind of media
and it has lots of advantages, you can take it nearly where you want, it is mostly
used for listening to music it is very good for relaxing.

c. Television
Television (TV), sometimes shortened to tele or telly, it is a telecommunication
medium used for transmitting moving images in monochrome (black and white)
or in colour, and in two or three dimensions and sound. Television is a mass
medium for advertising, entertainment, news and sports. TV is the most
widespread media cultivated countries. It is a media with the biggest strengths
because it can influence us very much because of its moving pictures. With
coming of communication satellites you can choose from variety programs (news,
children’s programs, programs with lot of films). The television set has become
more a commonplace in many households, businesses and institution.

d. Internet
The internet is the wider network that allows computer network around the world
run by companies, government, universities and other organizations to talk one
another. The result is a mass of cables, computers, data centers, routers, servers,
repeaters, satellites and Wifi towers that allows digital information to travel
around the world.

Example:
 You are a student journalist articulating your stand on current
issues through the school’s newspaper.
