c. Lesson
For students to be equipped with proper knowledge, values and skills, a field of
experience and social interaction is necessary. In the many models of communication, the
Interactive Model is also a representation of this purpose. It presents that communication is not
only a two way process but it has a “field of experience” which includes our cultural
background, ethnicity, geographic location, extend of travel and -general personal experiences
(http://iact.com/?q=models).
4. Anticipate objections
- You cannot expect everybody to easily agree with you on certain matters. It is a
normal thing to notice some people who would go against you with what you are
saying.
Communication Techniques:
1. The Good Old Boy is referred to the experienced speaker who the audience is familiar with.
He may deliver good information but at times he may poorly delivered it.
2. The Entertainer is the speaker who uses anecdotes or hilarious stories in delivering
messages.
3. The Academic is the speaker who keeps an eye on the precision of the presentation. He uses
an organized outline and delivers the message as planned.
4. The Reader is the one who reads his script word for word. The speaker is prepared of the
message but at times, it can be technical, boring and difficult to understand.
5. The Snail is the one who drags his speech in a seemingly endless manner. He tends to discuss
each item thoroughly. He can be too detailed of the message but he would not notice the time
consumed for each discussion anymore.
6. The Gadgeteer is the person who uses every gimmick and technique in the presentation. Too
much visual aid, the speaker may lose sight of the message.
