LESSON
For this lesson, we will focus on three communicative strategies and how
they are used in different situations.
NOMINATION
A speaker employs nomination to collaboratively and productively open
or establish a topic. When this strategy is used, the speaker opens a topic with
the people they are talking to. Ideally, the presented topic is clear, truthful, and
relevant.
Formal Situations:
In a meeting, the agenda is given for the participants to discuss.
“Today we will talk about…”
In class, a teacher will start the discussion about a topic.
“Our lesson for today is…”
Informal Situations:
Every time you start a conversation with a family or friend.
“Hey, have you heard?”
“Listen, I have something to share.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“How are you? I haven’t heard from you for a while.”
A quick conversation with a stranger may also be established.
“Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the library?”
“I’m here to share the message of God, would you care to give me a few
minutes to tell you about His promise?”
RESTRICTION
A restriction in communication refers to any limitation one may have as
a speaker, constraining the response or reaction within a set of categories. This
strategy constrains or restricts the response of the other person involved in the
communication situation. The receiver is encouraged to respond only within a
set of categories, instructions, or preference that is made by the sender.
Formal Situations:
Restriction can be shown when one person controls the topics to be
discussed and sets boundaries in the communication situation.
“Leave the questions for later, let us listen for now.”
“Please don’t ask about sensitive topics.”
“I know you’re emotional, but please maintain respect as you speak.”
“Only discuss how your group can improve the 2nd chapter of your
research paper”
Informal Situations:
When talking with family or friends, one can set the rules.
“Please don’t shout. Let’s talk this through.”
“Just be honest and don’t sugarcoat anything.”
“Just answer with a Yes or a No.”
TURN-TAKING
The communicative strategy turn-taking is the process by which people
decide who takes the conversational 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. Someone involved in the
communication situation must be able to recognize when and how to speak.
Knowing when to speak depends on watching out for verbal and nonverbal cues
that signal the next speaker that the previous speaker has finished, or that the
subject being discussed is done and a new topic can be introduced.
Formal Situations:
In meetings, people could take turns sharing their ideas.
“Who wants to share their thoughts next?”
“I’m done, go ahead.”
“I’ll let you finish, let me explain it after.”
“Without further ado, let’s now listen to…”
There will be times when no words are necessary, just the gestures and
expression can signal another person to speak.
Informal Situations:
In casual conversations.
“What do you think? What are your thoughts about it?”
“Tell me about it, I’ll listen.”
“Guys, let’s hear what she’s about to say.”
