EMPLOYING VARIOUS
COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGIES IN
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS

are ways of sharing information which are
used to achieve particular social, political,
psychological or linguistic purposes.

COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES
1. Nomination.
When you employ this strategy, you try
to open a topic with the people you
are talking to.
Nomination, as a communicative
strategy, can also be applied any
time during an interaction as a way
of continuing the communication.
COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES
1. Nomination.
When this strategy is used, the topic is
introduced in a clear and truthful
manner, stating only what is relevant to
keep the interaction focused.
You may use expressions such as: “Let’s
talk about…” “Do you know…?” “How
about…?”

2. Restriction.
S T RAT E G I E S
This communicative strategy refers to
any limitation you may have as a
speaker.
On some cases of communication,
there
are instructions that must be followed.
Those instructions confine you as a
speaker and limit what you can say.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
2. Restriction.
S T RAT E G I E S
You may consider the following
expressions for restricting a topic: “May
we just talk about this matter and lay
aside other matters?” or “Please just
expound on the topic and nothing
else.” or “This is the only topic we need
to cover today.”
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
2. Restriction.
S T RAT E G I E S
Example: “They say that
Philippine economy is getting
better. Do you agree?”
In the sample statement you were
only
limited by answering either with a Yes or
a No response.

2. Restriction.
S T RAT E G I E S
Example: “They say that
Philippine economy is getting
better. Do you agree?”
In the sample statement you were
only
limited by answering either with a Yes or
a No response.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
2. Restriction.
S T RAT E G I E S
The teacher instructed: “Brainstorm with
your pair about Philippine economy at
present and then deliver a speech
about it.”
In the second example, you are
restricted with a single topic and you
are confined to discuss only on matters
about Philippine economy.

3. Turn-taking.
S T RAT E G I E S
This communicative strategy pertains to
the process by which people decide
who take the conversational floor.
Primarily, the idea is to give all
communicators a chance to speak.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
3. Turn-taking.
S T RAT E G I E S
Upon speaking, remember to keep your
words relevant, short, and precise to
express your view and ideas.
Be polite and avoid monopolizing the
conversation and talk incessantly
without letting the others air out their
own ideas.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
3. Turn-taking.
S T RAT E G I E S
To acknowledge others, you may employ
visual signals like a nod, a look, or a step
back, and you could accompany these
signals with spoken cues such as “What
do you think?” or “You wanted to say
something?”
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
S Turn-taking.
3. T RAT E G I E S
Examples:
“May I have
the floor,
sir?”
“Excuse me? I think we should speak one
at a time, so we can clearly
understandwhat we want to say
about the topic.”
"Go on with your ideas. I'll let you finish
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
4. Topic Control.
S T RAT E G I E S
It should be remembered that when a
topic is initiated, it should be collectively
developed by avoiding unnecessary
interruptions and topic shifts.

can make yourself actively involved in
the conversation without overly dominating
it by using minimal responses like “Yes,”
“Okay,” “Go on”; asking tag questions to
clarify information briefly like “You are
excited, aren’t you?”, “It was unexpected,
wasn’t it?”; and even by simply giving non-
verbal cues.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
S T RAT E G I E S
4. Topic Control.
Examples:
“Proper communication would lead to
harmonious social environment and
we all do not want misunderstandings,
do we?
“Misunderstandings happen when there’s
barriers in communication. You
experienced this also, right?”
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
5. Topic Shifting.
S T RAT E G I E S
This involves the shift or move from one
topic to another.
To simply understand, topic shifting is
where one part of a conversation
ends and where another begins.
This strategy works best when there
is follow-through so that new topic
continues to be discussed.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
5. Topic Shifting.
S T RAT E G I E S
When shifting from one topic to
another, you must be very intuitive.
Make sure that the previous topic was
nurtured enough to generate adequate
views.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
5. Topic Shifting.
S T RAT E G I E S
You may also use effective conversational
transitions to indicate a shift like “By the
way,” “Inaddition to what you said,”
“Which reminds me of,” “we can also
include”, and other topic shifting
expressions.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
S T RAT E G I E S
5. Topic Shifting.
Examples:
“By the way, there's a new update
regarding on our new school set-up.”
“In addition to what you said about our
new mode of learning, is that even
possible?”
“Excuse me, can we talk about Philippine
economy, instead of American economy.”
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
6. Repair.
S T RAT E G I E S
This communicative strategy refers to
how a speaker addresses the problems in
speaking, listening and comprehending
that they may encounter in a
conversation.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
6. Repair.
S T RAT E G I E S
Repair, as a communicative strategy, is
the self-righting mechanism in any social
interaction (Schegloff, et. al., 1977).
If there is a problem in understanding
the conversation, speakers will always try
to address and correct it
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
6. Repair.
S TExamples:
RAT E G I E S
"Excuse me, but there are five
functions of communication not four."
"I'm sorry, the word should be
pronounced as pretty not priti."
“You said perfect. Did I get it right?”
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
7. Termination.
S T RAT E G I E S
This refers to the conversation
participants' close-initiating expressions
to end a conversation.
It uses verbal and non-verbal signals or
messages that both speaker and listener
send to each other.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
7. Termination.
S T RAT E G I E S
Sometimes the termination is quick
and short.
Sometimes it is prolonged by clarification,
further questions, or the continuation of
the topic already discussed, but the point
of the language and body movement is
to end the communication.
C O M M U N I C AT I V E
S T RAT E G I E S
7. Termination.
Examples:
"Best regards to your parents! See you
around!
“It was nice meeting you. Bye!" "That is
all for today class, goodbye!"
