The Seven Effective Communication Strategies

Definition

  • A communication strategy is a method to convey information effectively, serving as a blueprint to express information related to specific events, situations, or audiences.

Types of Communicative Strategies

  1. Nomination

    • Establishes a topic for conversation.

    • Introduced clearly and truthfully, focusing on relevant information.

    • Examples:

      • "I was late for class again! The LRT stopped midway. What is wrong with the LRT?"

      • "Have you heard the news about the militarization of Lumad schools? What can you say about that?"

      • "Have you noticed the weird weather lately? Is this because of global warming?"

  2. Restriction

    • Limits response possibilities of the other participant.

    • Examples:

      • Homily during a commencement graduation.

      • Political speeches during rallies.

  3. Turn-Taking

    • Mechanism by which participants regulate who speaks when.

      • Informal Approach: Jumping in to speak.

      • Formal Approach: Requesting permission to speak.

    • Types:

      • Turn-Getting: Initiating a move to gain attention to speak.

      • Turn-Keeping: Demonstrating the ability to maintain the floor.

      • Turn-Yielding: Passing the floor to another speaker.

    • Examples:

      • "May I have the floor, sir?"

      • "Excuse me? I think we should speak one at a time."

      • "Go on with your ideas; I’ll let you finish first."

  4. Topic Control

    • Limits conversation to acceptable topics for participants.

    • Examples:

      • "This might not be the best venue for a discussion."

      • "I'd like to remind our participants to keep to the conversation."

  5. Topic Shifting

    • Useful for introducing a new topic; follows up to continue the discussion.

    • Examples:

      • "By the way, there’s a new milk tea shop opening at the mall."

      • "In addition to what you said about the beautiful girl, she is also smart."

  6. Repair

    • Addresses issues in speaking, listening, and comprehension.

    • Techniques used:

      • Code-switching, paraphrasing, repeating.

    • Examples:

      • "I’m sorry, the word should be pronounced as pretty not priti."

      • "Wait, do you mean...?"

  7. Termination

    • Concludes discussions and prevents conflicts.

    • Examples:

      • "That is all for today class, goodbye!"

      • "Never mind, it doesn't matter. Let's not talk about it anymore."
