III. PROCEDURE

A. Preliminary Activities
Teacher’s Activity Student’s activity
“Good morning, class!” “Good morning, ma’am!”
“Before we will start our class, let us pray…”
Please make sure to pick up trashes and arrange (students will follow)
your chair properly before sitting.
(Checking of attendance) (The class’ secretary will tell who’s absent for
the day)
“So, how’s your day? “It was great ma’am!”
“That’s great!”
Be reminded with our class rules:
 First, refrain from doing unnecessary movement
and noise. Stay focused.

during class unless you are instructed to.
 Third, listen and participate.
 Last, if you have any queries, raise your hand
so you will be acknowledged.
Am I making myself clear? “Yes ma’am”

B. Review and Drill

Before we will proceed for today’s discussion, let’s
have a quick review of what we talked last time, but
let’s put some twist on it. Let’s call this game as
“Let’s Get the Ball Rollin’”. I will play music while
passing the ball; you will continue to pass the ball
to your classmate not until the music will stop.
Whoever has the ball will answer my question. Are
you ready? “Yes ma’am”
So, let’s get the ball rollin’!
What did we discuss last meeting? “We discussed about conditionals.”
That’s right. What is a conditional sentence? “Conditional sentences are statements
expressing the result of a particular condition,
using an “if/when” clause and a “result”
clause.”
“That’s correct! And how many conditionals are “four”
there again?
“Exactly! There are four conditionals. What are the The four types of conditionals are: the zero
four types of conditional? conditional, first conditional, second
Very Good. Those are zero conditional or factual conditional and third conditional”
conditional, first conditional or possible
conditional?, second conditional and third
conditional”
Impressive! “I’m glad you learned a lot from our
discussion last meeting. To wrap up, conditionals
may be helpful in persuading others to move or act
and even change their thoughts.”
Alright class, before we will proceed to our I can employ the appropriate communicative
discussion, let us first unpack important terms used styles for various situations.
in today’s objective. Kindly read our learning
objective ____.
What can you observe in our learning objective? “There are underlined words ma’am.”

What does employ mean? “use”

What comes to your mind when you hear the word message, to talk, to speak, conversation,
communicative/ communication? speech…
How about style? way, form, manner, version, technique,
method
So, after this discussion you are expected that you
can use the appropriate speech techniques for
various situations.
“Alright! So now, let’s move on to the next topic and (students will follow)
begin this with an activity!
Clap once if you hear me.
Clap twice if you’re ready.

C. Motivation
The teacher will give random pictures with speech bubble to every row. The first group will start
the conversation by writing a dialogue in the speech bubble they have and post it on the board. The
other group will write any appropriate response using the character they have. Same goes to the
other group until the class creates a conversation. As a challenge, the teacher will set only five
minutes to the task. (If internet connection is possible, the teacher may introduce Witty Comics, a
website which provides a set of pre-designed characters, scenes and dialogue boxes to write a story.
Log in at http://www.wittycomics.com). Afterwards, they will read their outputs.

IV. ACTIVITY
This time, I will be telling a story. Do you know her? “Yes, ma’am”
(show a photograph) Who is she? “She is Alex Gonzaga”
That’s right. This is Alex G and she likes to visit
Sultan Kudarat.
She wishes to have an adventure in Bansada for
her vlog. Do you like to go with her? “Yes, ma’am”
So you and Alex go to Bansada and while you are
there you meet some people.
I want you to imagine what you or Alex says and
how you say it as soon as you meet each of them.
First you meet… ( show a picture of Alex’s friend)
Do you know him? Who is he? “Yes. He is Luis Manzano.”
That’s correct he is Alex’s best friend; Luis
Manzano. What do you think Alex will say as soon
as they meet? (Student will answer any dialogue)
Then, as you roam around you notice that there is a
wedding happening at the venue. What does priest
or pastor usually say in the wedding ceremony? (Student will answer any dialogue)
Exactly. So after the long trip, you were very tired
and starting to feel weak and dizzy, so you decided
to visit the hospital before going home.
What will you say to the doctor?
And what would the doctor say? (Student will answer any dialogue.)
That’s very polite. Now, i would like to ask anyone (Student will make an ending of the story.)
from this class to make an ending of the story. (The
teacher will call one student to do the task.)
That’s fabulous ______!
V. ANALYSIS
Alright. Have you ever noticed the way you talk to “Yes, ma’am”
your friends compared to the way you talk to other
people?
How do you converse or talk to your friends? (students answer)
How about to other people?
Definitely, yes. For instance, you don’t say Hi/Hello
to your best friend instead you say “hey”, or calling
their nicknames like “What’s up, dude?”, “hey
BROOO” or “sizzt”
I’m sure you don’t greet other people like that, right?
With that, would anyone guess what our lesson is? “communicative style”
Why do you think so? (students answer)
That’s a great idea___!
Alright class, now let’s go over the dialogue you Alex: Hey brooo! My handsome Kuys! You’re
made in our story a while ago. Let’s start with the here! What’s up?
first one. Kindly read. Luis: Oh, sizzt! I’m doin’ alright, just chillin’ as
always.
Who are the speakers in the dialogue? What have (students answer)
you noticed in that conversation?
Excellent. That’s an example of a casual
communicative style.
Let’s see the second situation. (student reads)
Priest: Ken, do you accept Karen as your
lawful wife?
Ken: Yes, father, I do.
What have you observed in that conversation? How (Students answer)
about the speech or the language used?
Fantastic. That conversation is an example of
frozen communicative style.
Let’s proceed to the last one. Alex: Good morning, Dr. Canlas. I felt weak
and dizzy after a long trip. I also often have
colds. What medicine can i take?
Dr. Canlas: Take vitamin C, drink plenty of
water, eat lots of fruits and get enough sleep.
How about in this situation, what have you noticed? (Students answer)
Certainly. It seemed that there was a consultation
happening. And that’s an example of consultative
communicative style.

VI. ABSTRACTION
You’re doing a great job, class. Now, why do you
think we need to use appropriate communicative
styles for various situations? Let’s try to look out our
dialogue excerpts from our story a while ago.
 “Oh, sizzt! I’m doin’ alright, just chillin’ as
always.”- to a friend
 “Yes, father, I do”- to a priest
 “Good morning, Dr. Canlas. I felt weak and dizzy
after a long trip. I also often have colds. What
medicine can i take?” – to a doctor
What can you say about the language used? (students answer)
Exactly. As you can see there is appropriate degree
of formality applied when the speakers are talking to
a specific person. But what if we do not use
appropriate communicative styles. What will
happen? Let’s try to mix them up and see how
mess up it could be.
 “Hey, father! I’m doin’ alright, just chillin’ as
always.”- to a priest
“Yes, dude, i do”- to a priest
“Hey sizzt Dee. I’m not doin’ alright. What medicine
can i take?” – to a doctor
How about this time, what can you say? (students answer)
I guess you get what I mean by now. Speech style
refers to the form of language that the speaker
utilized which is characterized by the level of
formality. We have five types of communicative
style but for today, we’ll just focus on the first three;
casual, frozen, and consultative.
Alright, let’s have another example. Observe the
language or the style used in the following
dialogues. Identify the speakers and situations.
Then create dialogue in the empty speech bubble to
complete the conversation.
I need three volunteers to read the first Earl: Sizzt! Are you free on Saturday?
conversation. (The teacher will choose three Dee: What d’ya have in mind?
volunteers) Earl: How about sleepin over at your place,
Dee?
Michelle: Yeah! That’s so lit! I’m in!
Dee: I’d want to… but my parents---
Michelle: Sizzt, c’mon! Dzuhh
Who are conversing in the dialogue? “Earl, Dee and Michelle who are best friends”
Impressive. How do you know they are friends? (Student answers)
You got that right. How about the language used? “The language used was casual style.”
What style is employed?
Correct. Casual style also known as informal style,
it is usually used between friends, peers,
colleagues, or family who share a common
knowledge or interest. As you can see nickname,
contraction, ellipsis, and slang language were used.
Make a dialogue to fill in the empty speech bubble. (Students will make dialogue to complete the
conversation.)
Now let’s go to the next type. But before that, I (students will follow)
have some questions. What are you going to do is,
you show me a thumbs up if your answer is yes and
thumbs down otherwise. Clap twice if you’re ready.
Let’s get started.
 You can sing our national anthem alone or (students answer)
without your classmates.
 You can recite the mission and vision of the
school.
 You can recite the preamble of Philippine
Constitution.
That’s great! Now let us take a look of the following
terms mentioned in the questions.
(national anthem, mission and vision, and the
preamble of Philippine Constitution)
Why do you think we’re making emphasis to these
terms?
Kindly read the dialogue. Kim: Why am I being arrested?
Policeman: You have a warrant out for you
arrest. A bench warrant.
Kim: What does that mean?
Policeman: You missed a court appearance.
Mr. Kim you have the right to remain silent. If
you do say anything, it can be used against
you in a court of law.
Who are the people talking in the dialogue? “Kim and the policeman”
Certainly. It’s the policeman and the suspect. What “ I think the policeman was arresting a
do you think is the situation? suspect”
Yes, as you can notice the policeman was stating
the Miranda right to Mr. Kim as what you usually
hear to a policeman arresting a suspect in the
movie.
What have you noticed with the language used? “The language used in the conversation was
somewhat formal and scripted”
Very good. This type of speech is frozen or fixed
speech; it is the highest form of communicative
style which is often used in respectful situations or
formal ceremonies. Frozen means a language that
does not change. Speech is “set” which is often
scripted like the Miranda right.
What do you think are the examples of frozen style? (students answer)
Fantastic. Other examples of these are prayers and
speeches in weddings and funerals, pledges,
national anthem, school creeds, constitution, oath
and more.
Make a dialogue to fill in the empty speech bubble. (Students will make dialogue to complete the
conversation.)
Excellent! So let’s proceed to the next one. Have (students answer)
you ever heard of the term “two-way”? What does
the word “two-way” mean? Two-way means
allowing or involving movement or communication
in opposite directions. Like a two-way radio which
can both transmit and receive message. In this
generation, both transmitting and receiving
message are possible because of our technology;
we have cellular phones and computers unlike a
regular radio or television, we, listeners only receive
the information because we cannot have a
conversation to a radio DJ or TV host.
Are you playing badminton? Communication is like
playing badminton or volleyball; it’s pointless to play
it alone. Try to imagine playing badminton; you
throw the shuttle cock up on the air with full force
and focus and it only falls on the ground. What a
waste of effort, right? We need to have somebody
to hit it back to us just like good communication, it is
a two-way process.
Now, why are we talking about two-way (students answer)
communication? The third type of communicative
style is consultative style. What do you mean by
consult? That’s correct! It means to ask an advice
or opinion.
Please read the dialogue. Teacher: Is there something wrong, John?
Student: Ma’am, actually I want to say that
English is a little tough for me. That’s why I’m
still confused about the lesson.
Teacher: Why haven’t you told me this
before? I would have helped you. Now don’t
worry. I will help you with the basics.
Who do you think are having the conversation? “The speakers are a teacher and a student”
Great. What do you think is the purpose of the (students answer)
student? Wonderful. The purpose of the student is
to consult about what he is experiencing in English
subject. So, the purpose of this type of speech style
is specifically to ask for help about something.
Exactly. So what speech style is utilized in this “The speech style utilized in the conversation
example? was consultative”
That’s impressive. This is precisely an example of
consultative communicative style wherein a two-
way communication is present. It is basically
unplanned speech since the speaker uses the
participation and feedback of the listener.
Could you give me other situations which (students answer)
consultative style may be used? Why do you think
so?
Very good. “Other examples are business
transactions, doctor-patient conversations, lawyer
talking to the clients or teacher to the students,
expert to apprentice and more.”
Make a dialogue to fill in the empty speech bubble.
(Students will make dialogue to complete the
conversation.)
“Well done, class!” Do you have any questions? (students say no or ask questions)
Any clarifications?
Great! What are again the types of communicative (students answer)
styles? There are five types of communicative
styles but today’s discussion we only focused on
the three types and leave the two for tomorrow.
How does casual, frozen, and consultative style
differ?
Do you have any questions or clarifications?

VII. APPLICATION
The students will be divided into eight (8) groups. The teacher will assign each group a
certain type of communicative style. The groups will think of a situation and make a comic strip
using proper communicative style. Thereafter, the groups will post their comics on the board
and the teacher will choose a group to present the output.

VIII. EVALUATION
Write a dialogue between the participants using the proper communicative styles.
1. Between a pediatrician and a baby’s mother
2. Between a teacher and students
3. Between childhood best friends
4. Between a priest and parishioner
5. Between a lawyer and a client

IX. ASSIGNMENT
Choose a certain situation. In a short bond paper, write the dialogues of your characters. Use
the appropriate communicative styles for your chosen situation. You may add pictures or drawing to
make your story creative.
