Oral Communication in Context

Quarter 2- Week 4
Module 6- Lesson 1: COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES

What Is It

We need to communicate to others to establish a relationship and to have better


understanding. However, there are times when miscommunication occurs. It is important that we know
how to adjust and be able to communicate effectively.

Cohen (1990) states that strategies must be used to start and maintain a conversation. Knowing
and applying grammar appropriately is one of the most basic strategies to maintain a conversation. These
are the strategies that people use:

Nomination – employed when you try to open a topic with the people you
are talking to. You may start off with news inquiries and news
announcements as they promise extended talk. This could signal the
beginning of a new topic in the conversation.
Restriction – refers to any limitation you may have as a speaker. You are
given specific instruction that you must follow. These instructions confine
you as a speaker and limit what you can say.
Turn-taking – pertains to the process by which people decide who takes
the conversation floor. There is a code of behavior behind establishing and
sustaining a productive conversation, but the primary idea is to give all
communicators a chance to speak.
Topic Control – covers how procedural formality or informality affects the development of topic in
conversations. This is achieved cooperatively. When a topic is initiated, it should be collectively developed
by avoiding unnecessary interruptions and topic shifts. You can say “Yes,” “okay,” “go on,” or asking tag
questions to be actively involved without dominating.
Topic shifting – involves moving from one topic to another. You have to be very intuitive. Make sure that
the previous topic was nurtured enough to generate adequate views. You may say, “by the way,” “in
addition to what you said,” “which reminds me of,” and the like.
Repair – refers to how speakers address the problem in speaking, listening
and comprehending that they may encounter in a conversation. For example, if
everybody in the conversation seems to talk at the same time,
give way and appreciate other’s initiative to set the conversation back to its topic.
Termination – refers to the conversation participants’ close-initiating expressions
that end a topic in a conversation. Most of the time, the one who initiated the
conversation takes responsibility to signal the concluding cues. You can do this by
sharing what you learned or complete the discussion of the topic.

If you will be able to use these strategies well, you will be good in handling conversations. You will avoid
miscommunication. However, you must also consider the situation. You must choose your words wisely. What you
say must depend on what the situation calls for.

For example, if you are just talking with friends, then it is alright to be casual and when you start and end the
conversation, you need not be formal. Meanwhile, if you are in a formal situation, you must start and control the
conversation with care. Be polite whenever you can. You have nothing to lose when you do that.
