- #18: A speaker pause for longer than usual after an important utterances in order to produce emphasis and to sink in among the listeners Also a speakers signal to the audience whether they understood what was spoken or not. (Specially the word uttered was difficult to hear, comprehend or accept).
- #19: An adept speaker (Sanay) knows when to raise or lower his or her voice. In some cultures, speaking loud is appropriate in emphasizing a point. However, in other cultures speaking softly shows that a speaker is emphasizing a point. *Other example, using soft voice can be a speaker’s way of showing that what is being expressed is something of intimacy or heartfelt.
- #20: A good rhythm catches and holds listener’s attention. The rhythm employed by the speaker must be appropriate to the content and context of his/her message. For example: - A sing-song rhythm is not acceptable in academic discussion because academic discussion is intended to be devoid of emotion (walang emotion)
- #21: Other way to foster understanding of a complex or difficult idea is to rephrase. For this purpose, the expressions “in other words”, “that is” are very useful. Example of Rephrasing -His kids click through Web sites = his children are surfing the Web
- #22: Listeners certainly do not appreciate an insolent (walang pakundangan) or impolite (bastos) tone. Tone of voice must be matched to other elements of communication like the topic, degree of formality, and emotions associated with the situation or topic.
- #23: A speaker must know which register to use and the elements of that register when speaking to a specific audience. For example: -when a doctor speaks to an audience of doctor, he or she as a speaker may use medical jargon, which are words or terms specific to the field of medicine. -However, when the doctor speaks to an audience not composed of doctors, he or she may not use medical jargon because this is unknown to the general public. *Register may also change because of a shift in topic or setting. For example: -during a conference of doctors, a speaker must use formal language -but during their entertainment night , the speaker must use informal language because the topic is not academic but about entertaining stuff.
- #24: This is especially true when there is a difference between the culture of the speaker and the listeners. For example: - In some cultures, gesturing using hand signals can mean that the speaker is being impolite (bastos).
- #25: For example: When a speaker describes something as being tall, the speaker may raise his or her hand to add emphasis to what is being spoken. In addition, a speaker may use hand gestures to try to visualize the physical appearance of what he or she is describing. *A speaker must take extra care in his or her gestures *must be sensitive enough to the reaction of his or her audience to the way he or she execute them.
- #26: -lack of eye contact on the part of the speaker can mean several things. -it could mean that the speaker is unsure of what to say or that he or she does not clearly remember what to say. -Worse, it could give the impression that he is inventing falsehood in speaking to his listeners.
- #27: In some cultures, there are postures that are unacceptable Because they seem to be too relaxed when the setting calls for seriousness.
- #28: For example: When the topic is something serious, the speaker must also maintain a grim (malupit) expression. For discussing academic topics, a speaker may have a pleasant or smiling facial expression only to the extent that it does not distract the listener. *In informal and non-academic situations, smiling, laughing, and other facial expressions can help develop rapport with an audience.
- #29: PROK-SIIII----MIKS One indication of distance is the closeness of the speaker to his or her listeners. A distance of 3 arms length - is used between people who do not now each other well. A distance of 2 arms length – is used between people who have known each other for some time. A distance of 1 arm strength – is used between people who are close to each other. A distance shorter that 1 arm’s length – is used between people who are very close to each other.
