    Lesson 1: Types of Communicative Strategies

    Activity

    • Communication is important for daily interaction.
    • Communication is important for work/study.
    • Communication is important for interpersonal relationships.

    Nomination

    • A strategy to collaboratively and productively establish a topic.
    • Used at the beginning of an interaction to set the purpose of conversation.
    • Examples:
      • Inquiry: Have you read the novel "Things Fall Apart"?
      • Compliment: Your profile picture is dazzling.
      • Inquiry/Request: What can you say about the exam results?
      • Request/Help: Can you help me with this problem?

    Restriction

    • Limits what a speaker can say by confining responses to specific categories or instructions.
    • Prevents unnecessary interruptions or topic shifts in the conversation.
    • Examples:
      • Brainstorming historical significance of a novel without having read it yet
      • Responding to questions about an accident without knowing the facts

    Turn-Taking

    • The process of deciding who speaks in a conversation.
    • Allows all participants a chance to speak.
    • Avoids one person dominating the conversation.
    • Examples:
      • "What do you think?"
      • "Do you want to say something?"

    Topic Control

    • How procedural formality or informality affects the development of a topic in a conversation.
    • Used to control interruptions and prevent topic shifts.
    • Examples:
      • Presiding officer in a senate session
      • Asking permission before speaking

    Topic Shifting

    • Involves moving from one topic to another.
    • Used to change the topic to a new one to maintain communication.
    • Requires good timing. Make sure the previous topic is adequately discussed.
    • Examples:
      • "Before I forget..."
      • "Now, let's talk about our new project in Oral Communication."
      • "This time, let me tell you about..."

    Repair

    • How speakers address problems in speaking, listening, and comprehension.
    • A self-righting mechanism in social interaction.
    • Used to prevent communication breakdowns from problems that may arise
    • Includes recasting the message, repeating statements, addressing physical or physiological issues
    • Examples:
      • "What I mean is..."
      • "Let me repeat myself."
      • Clarifying questions, requests for repetition, or requests for definitions

    Termination

    • Initiating expressions to end a topic in a conversation.
    • The topic initiator often takes responsibility for closing the conversation
    • Examples:
      • "It's nice catching up with you. I must be going."
      • "Thanks for your time. See you around."
      • "Regards to your wife. See you soon."
