Today’s Lesson TYPES OF ORAL COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

What I Need to Know?

Communication is one of the essential components of the foundation of the personality. We need it
everywhere and every time, so it also becomes an important part of social skill. Especially the games and
activities that promote teamwork would automatically improve the communication, so the activities should be
performed in a group rather than doing it alone for fast learning.

Oral communication is the process of verbally transmitting information and ideas from one individual or group
to another. Oral communication can be either formal or informal. Here are the types of oral activities that can
be tailored for the purpose of different courses across disciplines. Most of these oral activities can be adapted
for individual or group completion.

Today’s Lesson

SPEAKER’S STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

What I Need to Know?

. Good group /public speaking skills are essential in other areas of your life. You might be asked
to make a speech at a classmate’s birthday, give a eulogy for a loved one, or inspire a group of
volunteers at a charity event. In short, being a good public speaker can enhance your reputation, boost your
self-confidence, and open up countless opportunities.
However, while good skills can open doors, poor ones can close them. For example, your boss might
decide against promoting you after sitting through a badly-delivered presentation. You might lose a valuable
new contract by failing to connect with a prospect during a sales pitch. Or you could make a poor impression
with your new team, because you trip over your words and don't look people in the eye. The good news is
that speaking in public/ group is acquirable skill. As such, you can use the following strategies to become
an effective speaker and presenter.

What I Know

In your own perspective, what do you think are the characteristics of a goof speaker? Design a
concept web on how will you present it clearly.

What is it?
Here are 10 strategies to be a good speaker, whether you are presenting in front of the class,
school activities, seminars, talking to potential clients or receiving an award.

1.Have a Message

What is the one thing that you want the audience to remember from your presentation? Put it into one sentence and you
have your message – the whole point. Say it clearly and repeat it so the audience remembers it. And make sure that every example,
story and statistic relates to it.

2. Focus On Your
Audience

Why should the audience care about what you are saying? Think about your message from the audience's point of view
and then target your presentation to their needs. Remember, it's not all about you – it's about them.

3. Organize Your
Material

One of the easiest ways to improve your presentation skills is to organize your material clearly. Your presentation should have
an introduction, body and conclusion. The body, or main part of your presentation, should consist of related material arranged
according to some organizational principle, such as a number of points, chronology, pros and cons, etc. Be sure to have a clear
transition from one section of the body to the next.

4. Slide May Not

Be Necessary

Too many presentations are full of crowded, hard-to-read slides with too much disorganized information thrown onto them. Before
you create slides, think about whether they're really necessary. How will slides make your presentation better? You are the
presentation and the slides are just the visual aid.

Name of Teacher : ______________________________ Grade : ________________

5. Watch Your
Time

Never go over your time limit. No one will complain if you finish a few minutes early but things go downhill very fast
once you go one minute beyond your time limit.

6. Make Eye
Contact

When you're speaking, make eye contact with everyone in the audience – or if it’s a very large group, with all sections of the
audience. It helps you connect to the audience, engage them and gauge their reaction. Hold eye contact for three to give seconds
and then move onto another person.

7. Use
NonVerbals

Non-verbal communication includes elements such as facial expression, voice, eye contact, gestures, posture and movement. The
key is for your non-verbals to match the message you are conveying or it will confuse the audience and distract from your message.
So if you want to convey a message with confidence, stand up straight with your shoulders back and your weight evenly distribute
on both feet, smile, make eye contact with the audience and speak in a loud, clear voice.

8. Smile

Facial expressions fall under non-verbals but a smile deserves its own category. Smiling can relax you, which in turn, can relax
the audience and help you be more engaging. In most public speaking situations, a smile is appropriate, but nerves or a misplaced
sense of seriousness prevent speakers from smiling; instead, they look gloomy or bored.

9. Be Confident

If you are nervous about public speaking, join the club that will develop your speaking skills. There is organization or clubs in
school which helps learners to improve their public speaking skills through regular meetings of prepared and extemporaneous
speeches. The practice and the feedback that you'll receive will help you overcome your fear.

Name : _________________________________________ Strand : ________________

Name of Teacher : ______________________________ Grade : ________________

10. Practice

There is no substitute for practice. If you're not used to public speaking, it's going to be almost impossible to be as good as you
could be without practice. How should you practice? Say the words out loud, in as close to the real environment as possible, with
particular focus on your opening, closing and key points. It's also helpful to record yourself or get feedback from trusted colleagues.

What I Can Do?

Your task: You are going to watch the following videos with anyone of your siblings, then you have to
discuss what are the weaknesses of the speaker and what would be your recommendation to improve her/his
speaking and presentation skills. Here are the links:

MODULE IN ORAL COMMUNICATION

First Quarter/ Week4/ Day 4

ESSENTIAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Ascertains the verbal and nonverbal cues that each
speaker uses to achieve his/her purpose

Today’s Lesson

VERBAL AND NONVERBAL CUES

What I Need to Know?

We all use verbal cues everyday, but how well do we recognize them as listeners? Through
this lesson, you'll learn what defines verbal and nonverbal cues and explore some examples of
different types and their purposes. When it comes to communication, cues are prompts that people
use to indicate that they expect a response or reaction. Speakers use non- verbal cues all the
time through body language or tone, but they might also deliver cues verbally. A verbal
cue is a prompt that is conveyed in spoken language from one person to another or a group
of people. For example, if you were listening to a lecture, the instructor might say something like,
'Does anyone know why this happened?' In this case, the instructor is obviously looking for
one or more people to respond to the question with an answer.

Verbal and nonverbal cues are common when teaching children and, like the one in the
previous example, are usually pretty easy to spot because they are clearly articulated, such as,
'Does anyone know…?' This, however, doesn't mean they're always so apparent or direct. In
fact, they can come in many different forms, and a strong communicator knows how to
recognize them all.

What I Know?
Creativity and Critical thinking learning skills

Your Task: You have to observe your family members and create a list of all nonverbal cues you
can record. Explain why you considered them as nonverbal cues.

What is it? Verbal Cues

Broadly speaking, there are two main types of verbal cues under which other sub-types
fall. The first, direct verbal cues, are clearly articulated statements of instructions. These are
probably very familiar to parents, who often have to repeatedly give children directions like, 'Go
clean your room' and 'Go brush your teeth.' Direct verbal cues are used to make very clear that
the listener is expected to do or say something in response.

The second of these types, indirect verbal cues, are prompts that tend to be less obvious
about what is expected and might come in the form of a question. For instance, the earlier
example of being in a lecture illustrates the use of an indirect prompt. In that case, the instructor
has indicated that he or she is looking for a response, but is not specific about what he or she wants
to hear.

Direct verbal cues leave little doubt about what is expected because it is the responsibility
of the speaker to clearly state what he or she wants from the listener. Indirect verbal cues, on
the other hand, place considerable responsibility on the listener, who is to deliver the desired
response based on the prompt. That might sound complicated, but consider this: if the
aforementioned child cleans his or her room as requested, the parents might follow that by
saying, 'Alright, then what else were you supposed to do?' This is an indirect verbal cue because
it implies that they expected something else, like 'Brush your teeth,' requiring the child to think
back over the other parts of the conversation to remember that other expectation.

❖ Direct Verbal Cues

Are short and concise phrases that
are used to direct and prompt
learner.
❖ They are used to direct, motivate
and guide learners
❖ Verbal cues should not suggest
reward-driven demands like “win”
or “lose” Some Examples: Bend your Knees, Good
Eye, Good Pass, Excellent Move, Keep it Up,
Go clean your room

❖ Indirect Verbal Cues

These prompts tend to be less
obvious about what is expected
and might come in the form of
questions.
Using questions “Now what?”, “What’s
next?” What else are you supposed to do?”
What I Can Do?

Your Task: Your best friend will be joining Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant, however she
has no confidence and trust to herself. As a best friend, how would you apply direct verbal cues to
boost her confidence?

Non-Verbal Cues

Nonverbal cues include “all the communication between people that do not have a direct
verbal translation.” They are “body movements, body orientation, nuances of the voice, facial
expressions, details of dress, and choice and movement of objects that communicate.” Time and
space can also be perceived as having nonverbal cues. It simply putting nonverbal cues all the
ways you present and express yourself, apart from the actual words you speak.
The way in which you say
Paralanguage word: volume, pitch, speaking
rate, voice quality

Example: You can say, “You

are beautiful.” In a sarcastic
manner to a girl

Giving Flowers The use of flowers based on the

meaning of each type of flower

Example: You may give roses to express

admiration or love to a girl

The use of colors based on the

meaning of each hue

plops down in her chair and glares out the window. You ask, “Are you all right?”
She/ he snaps back in an angry tone, “I’m fine!”
