In Lesson 1, we defined communication as a systematic process through which individuals interact


through symbols to create and interpret meaning.

Engaging oneself in communication is beyond the definition given above. Communication is about
understanding the emotions and intentions beyond the information said. Effective communication is
also a two-way street. It’s not only how you convey a message so that it is received and understood by
someone in exactly the way you intended, it’s also how you listen to gain full meaning of what’s being
said and to make the other person feel, heard and understood. (OLFU- Oral Communication Workbook)

A social experiment is used in the fields of Psychology and Sociology wherein the goal is to test a
human’s reaction to a certain situation or event.

In this activity, the students are tasked to conduct a social experiment in a random area wherein they
are going to interact with five (5) strangers using a language different from English and Filipino. They are
to observe how the subjects respond and write annotations about social experiment.

The following questions should be answered:

1. What is/are the scenario/s?

2. Where did the group conduct the social experiment?

3. How did the group prepare form the social experiment? What considerations were made?
