There is never a day that you do not
communicate. It could be a group discussion,
Facebook status update, dinner conversation with
someone you are interested in, or small talk with a
family member. In this case, it is necessary for you to
understand the concept of speaking in a variety of
communication situation and the number of people
you are communicating with.

Context when referring to speech
communication is the surroundings, circumstances,
environment, background or setting that determine,
specify, or clarify the meaning of an event.
(LumenLearning.com/Elements of Communication).
According to DeVito (2005), “Context refers to the
setting in which the communication takes place.
Context helps to establish meaning and can influence
what is said and how it is said.”

Read and carefully evaluate the statements
written inside the circle, then select from the given
communication contexts what you think matches the
phrase. Choose the letter of the correct answer.

Speech Context is important because it helps you
communicate appropriately, understand the meaning
of any message conveyed, and respond accordingly.
In order for you to have a clear grasp of what Speech
Context is, its types are discussed below.

1. Intrapersonal – This refers to a type of
communication that is focused on one person, where
the speaker acts both as the sender and as the
receiver of the message. The message is made up of
thoughts and feelings while the medium is the brain
that processes what you think and feel. (Hybels &
Weaver, 2012, p 16)

Examples:
• 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.
• 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.

In order to successfully communicate with
others, you must first learn to communicate
with yourself. Intrapersonal communication is
the most basic level of communication. You
must understand who you are and what you
think of yourself.

Self-talk is the inner speech that includes the
questions and comments you make to yourself. It is a
powerful influence. You use it when you:
• Think things through Interpret events
• Interpret messages of others
• Respond to your own experiences
• Respond to your interactions with others

Research has show than positive self talk increases
focus, concentration and performance.
• If you believe you cannot do something, your brain
will tell your body and it will shut down.
• When you stay encouraged and positive, your body
will also respond in a positive way.

Perception Process
• The process you use to assign meaning to data
about yourself or the world around you is called
perception.
• People seldom share precisely the same
perceptions because we are unique.

Three steps involved in Perception
1. Sensory perception - the physical process of taking in
data through the senses.
• How do you know when to go to school?
• How do you know if you need to wear a jacket?
2. Selective perception - the mental process of choosing
which data or stimuli to focus on from all that are
available to you at any given time.
• This means we have to make decisions on which things
we focus on or ignore.

The following can influence you perception choices:
• Intensity - the more intense or dramatic the stimulus, the
more likely we are to notice it.
• Example: someone screaming all of a sudden
• Repetition - the more we are bombarded with messages -
the more it sinks in and we believe it.
• Advertising messages
• Uniqueness - things that are new, unusual, unexpected &
unique are often noticed.
• Relevance - noticing things that mirror our own interests,
needs & motivations.

To manage selective perception you should:
1. Stay alert
2. Make conscious choices about what is important
data.
3. Screen out distractions & noise that may interfere
with concentration.
4. Monitor the way you select data and improve your
weaknesses.

Third step in perception process:
3. Personal perception - your own understanding of
reality. It becomes the basis for your judgments
and decisions you make. It also determines
appropriateness of your communication choices.
• How you talk or express yourself (dress, act,
perform, etc.) are choices you make based on your
perceptions.

Factors that influence personal perception

Values -reflect your priorities and what you think is
important.
Beliefs - what one believes to be true that often helps you
decide what to accept or reject
Culture - family, community, or organizations to which you
belong
Bias- consistent attitude, viewpoint or pattern of perception.
Prejudice - preconceived judgment (to pre-judge on opinion
rather than facts)
Attitude- powerful influences that can be positive or

Expectations - basing a judgment on what is
expected rather than what actually happened.
Knowledge - what you know influences how your
organize & interpret information.
Communication skills - if you are lacking in part of
the communication process, you may have difficulty
in understanding and being understood.

In a 1 half sheet of paper, write a letter
addressed to yourself and it will be opened after
the first semester.

2. Interpersonal – This refers to the type of
communication that takes place between and
among people and creates a personal relationship
between and among them. Normally, it includes
two individuals, and it can vary from casual and
very personal to formal and impersonal.

2 Types of Interpersonal Communication

1. Dyad Communication – communication that
happens between two people.
Examples:
• You consoled your brother who was feeling down.
• A conversation between your father and mother
about the latest announcement of your Barangay
Chairman.

Purpose of Dyad Communication:
• To exchange ideas or information directly
• To express emotions or personal opinions
• To solve problems or make decisions together

1. Formal Dyad Communication
• Occurs in professional or structured settings
• Example: Job interview between applicant and HR
officer
• Example: Student-teacher consultation
2. Informal Dyad Communication
• Happens in casual or personal situations
• Example: Two friends talking about their plans
• Example: A child telling a story to their parent

2. Small Group – This applies to interactions
involving at least three but not more than
twelve people engaged in face-to-face
interactions to achieve the desired goal. In
this type of conversation, all participants can
freely express their ideas throughout the
discussion.

Examples:
• You are having a discussion with your two
brothers about the surprise party you are
planning for your Mom’s birthday.
• Kathlyn who came back from the United States
called her three brothers and four sisters and
announced that she is getting married.

Purpose of Small Group Communication:
• To collaborate and share multiple
perspectives
• To generate creative solutions or ideas
• To build teamwork and leadership skills
• To make decisions based on group consensus

Common Settings Where It Happens:
• Classroom – Group activities, debates, or
presentations
• Church – Cell groups or planning committees
• Community – Barangay meetings or team-
building tasks
• Workplace – Staff meetings or collaborative
planning sessions

3. Public – This type refers to a communication that
enables you to send or deliver a message before a
crowd. The message can be transmitted for
informative or persuasive purposes. "In public
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
& Weaver, 2012, p 19).

Examples:
• Delivering a graduation speech to your fellow
graduates.
• You were elected as the new SSG president of
your school and were given a chance to
deliver a message of gratitude to your fellow
students.

Purpose of Public Communication:
• To inform (e.g., lectures, seminars)
• To persuade (e.g., campaign speeches, religious
preaching)
• To entertain (e.g., hosting events or storytelling)
• To inspire (e.g., motivational talks or advocacy
campaigns)

4. Mass Communication – This refers to communication
through television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books,
billboards, the internet, and other types of media.
Examples:
• You are watching a televised briefing of IATF on COVID-19.
• You have recorded a commentary for your school’s Online
Discussion of the pandemic and uploaded it in your social
media account.
