Speech Context
Is about the environment where the communication happens and how the message is relayed
during the process. This refers to any aspect of an occasion in which a speech-act takes place. It
may be formal or informal, personal or impersonal depending on the relationship of the
communicators and the context.

Context when referring to speech communication is the surroundings, circumstances, environment,

According to DeVito (2005), “Context refers to the setting in which the communication take place.
Context helps to establish meaning and can influence what is said and how it is said.”

Types of Speech Context

1. Intrapersonal
• Centers on one person where the speaker acts both as the sender and the receiver of
message.
• Communication with one’s self.
Example:
a. There is a voice within you that tells you, “It’s okay, you can still do it! You can make
it!” when you are losing your drive to finish the task that you are doing.
b. When you told yourself not to talk to your friends when you have read in a Facebook
post that they were in a party and you were not invited.
2. Interpersonal
• types of communication between and among people and establishes personal relationship
between and among them. Normally, it includes two individuals, and it can vary from casual
and very personal to formal and impersonal.

Types of Interpersonal Communication

Example:
1. You consoled your friend who was feeling down.
2. A conversation between the husband and wife regarding their vacation plans.
b. Small Group - refers to communication that involves at least three but not more than
twelve people engaging in a face-to-face interaction to achieve a desired goal.

Example:
1. Meeting of the teachers of grade 11 about the preparation for celebrating the
English week.
2. Catherine call her parents and her four siblings to announce her forthcoming
promotion at work .

3. Public Communication
• Communication that requires you to deliver or send the message before or in front of a
group.
• The message can be driven by informational or persuasive purposes.
• In this type of communication, a speaker addresses to group of listeners collectively known
as AUDIENCE.
 • There is no interchanging of a speaker and listener roles. Majority of public speaking
communication are formal.
• The speaker is well prepared, the speeches are well-thought, the speaker are dressed
appropriately and the listeners are sat to listen to the message.
• In this communication, unlike interpersonal and small groups, the channels are more
exaggerated. The voice is louder and the gestures are more expansive because the
audience is larger.” (Hybels and Weaver, 2012, p 19) Example:
1. Delivering a graduation speech to your fellow graduates.
2. You were acknowledge and recognized for your contribution to the success of the
commmunity project in your baranggay, and asked to deliver a message of
gratitude during Gawad ng Pagkilala.

4. Mass Communication
 This refers to communication that takes place through television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books,
billboards, internet, and other types of media.

Example:
1. You are watching a televised speech of President Bong Bong Marcos durin his SONA.
2. You are a student journalist articulating your stand on current issues through the
school news paper.
