Module 4
Lesson
Functions of
1 Communication

What’s In

You might not have noticed, but every time you communicate with people around
you, your manner of speaking, your tone of voice, and even your choice of words
largely depend on the context and the person or people you are talking to. You
adjust and adapt to suit the needs of the moment. It is important to note that
those are forms of communication strategy to avoid misunderstanding and
communication breakdown.
This time around, you will explore the reasons why people communicate in
specific ways. In the succeeding activities, you will get a chance to explore
different situations to learn the various functions of communication and their
relevance to your daily interactions with people. By observing how people
communicate, you will find out what type of approach works best in a
communicative scenario. In the process, it is with high hopes that this self-paced
learning module would help you become a more effective communicator
wherever you may go and in whatever situation you may be.

Module 4
What’s New

Look closely at the five pictures below. Imagine what goes on in their
conversation, then, write a one or two-sentence description inside the box below
each picture, describing how the people talk and the purpose of their
conversation.

4 CO_Q1_Oral Communication SHS


Module 4
In the previous activity, you were asked to describe what is happening in each of
the pictures and how they communicate. Below are five boxes containing the
definitions of communicative functions. Read each carefully and choose the picture
from the previous page that best illustrates the function. Write the letter that
corresponds to your answer inside the circle.

CONTROL AND REGULATION

Communication functions to regulate and control the


behavior of a person or group of people.

SOCIAL INTERACTION

Communication functions as a means to casually interact


with other people.

MOTIVATION

Communication functions to inspire or motivate a person


or people to be or do better.

INFORMATION DISSEMINATION
Communication functions as a way to share information
or data in order to educate.

EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION

Communication functions as a way to connect to a


person or people for the purpose of affecting them
emotionally.

5 CO_Q1_Oral Communication SHS


Module 4
What is It

Are you done matching the function of communication with its corresponding
picture? Let us check if you correctly identified it in each picture.

Functions of Communication
Picture A shows a mother explaining something to her child who needs to be
reprimanded because of something she did. As suggested by her behavior, the
child listens attentively to what her mother is telling her. The mother’s facial
expressions also suggest that she is serious about what she is telling her child.
The picture shows control and regulation as a communicative function.

Picture B shows a group of friends who are casually talking with each other. It
suggests a very relaxed atmosphere as they hang out and probably share their
funny stories. As you might have guessed, social interaction is the function of
communication shown in this picture.

Picture C takes you inside a classroom where the teacher explains the lesson to
her eager young learners who are all absorbed in the discussion. In this context,
information dissemination is shown because the teacher’s primary goal is to
share important information regarding the topic.

Picture D shows an image of a mother who is trying to console her child who
might be sharing her problems. Evidently, communication functions here as an
emotional expression since both speakers use nonverbal cues - such as tone of
voice, body movement, and facial expression - to connect and properly express
one’s feelings and emotions.

Picture E gives you a closer look at a sports fest in a school. The speaker in the
picture, who is possibly the school principal, talks in front of the students to do
their best in the games. Properly selected words and phrases are essential for
motivation because this function of communication is all about persuasion and
inspiration for the listeners to move and act.

Module 4
What’s
More

What is It

Verbal and Nonverbal Communication

Verbal Communication refers to the use of words to convey a message. This


type of communication can be regarded efficient and successful if the receiver
can easily process the message delivered by the sender.

15 CO_Q1_Oral Communication SHS


Module 4
Here are some of the aspects that you need to consider in this type of
communication.

1. Appropriateness
It pertains to the use of suitable language form applicable to the nature of the
event or context of situation (i.e. whether formal or informal).

Formal communication is the type of communication used in formal,


ceremonial or dignified gatherings. Here, the exchange of information is
controlled, well-thought out, and prepared. It also conforms to certain rules
and conventions as defined by the goals and values of particular groups or
organizations.

Types of Formal Communication


 Meetings
 Interviews
 Conferences
 Formal One-on-Ones
 Speeches
 Presentations

Informal communication is characterized by free, casual and spontaneous


exchange between two or more persons. The exchange is a kind of interaction
that is unrestrained by rules and conventions. It is also the type of
communication that occurs in everyday life.

Types of Informal Communication


 Casual Conversations
 Gossips
 Tales
 Inter-relational Activities
 Family Social Communication Culture
 Inter-relational activities outside of the formal

Key Difference Between Formal and Informal Communication


Criteria Formal Informal
Reliability More reliable Less reliable
Speed Slower Very quick/
Instantaneous
Time-Consuming Requires a number of Requires very little
different process process
Information Flow Through pre-defined Moves freely
channels
Secrecy Maintained Hard to maintain

16 CO_Q1_Oral Communication SHS


Module 4
2. Brevity
Speakers frequently opt to use simple and precise words in delivering their
message. This is brevity. It can be achieved by using more direct and clear
words and avoiding beating around the bush. It is saying more with less words.

3. Clarity
Clarity refers to using simple yet exact words that directly express your
thoughts and emotion. It warrants that the purpose of the message will be
successfully delivered to the audience. Through this, communication
breakdown like misinterpretation may be avoided by the receivers.

4. Ethics
Ethics pertains to moral standards that need to be considered when delivering
a message. The audiences’ background such as their age, gender, race, social
status and personal convictions shall be given due importance for speaking
purposes.
As a speaker, one of the prerequisites that you need to do is to know your
audience first. By doing so, discriminatory acts leading to bias judgment that
may unintentionally be committed by the speaker will be avoided.

5. Vividness
Vividness refers to words that make the conversation or exchange of information
lively and vibrant. The purpose of this aspect of communication is to simplify
thoughts for the audience to easily grasp the message through the use of
distinctive language. This language should appeal to the senses so the speaker
can elicit an active and vigorous response.
Also, to achieve vividness, speakers use situations that are within the audiences’
level of experiences to establish connection.

Nonverbal communication refers to a collaboration of movements that does not


require any spoken words in order to convey a message. This incorporates
actions such as hand gestures, body language, facial expressions, stance,
appearance and others in order to convey a message. Some of the commonly used
nonverbal means of communication are:
1. Bodily Kinesthetic
1.1. Head Movement
1.2. Eye Movement
1.3. Facial Expressions
1.4. Sitting
1.5. Standing
1.6. Walking
1.7. Hand Gestures
2. Attitude and/or Behavior to specific situations
3. Manner of Dressing
4. Tone of Voice

17 CO_Q1_Oral Communication SHS


Module 4
Importance of nonverbal communication:
 Makes the message more meaningful.
 Expresses message without the use of words.
 Makes audience more enthusiastic.
 Defines the kind of speaker one is.
 Makes one a dynamic speaker.
 Gives confidence to the speaker.
 Adds color to a speech.
 Connects the speaker to the audience.
 Gives the speaker a variety of ways to deliver his/her message.
