browsing my Facebook like all the other 3
students at the table were doing while waiting
for the program to begin. “Hey, have you
heard
that Maymay Entrata will host this event?” All our attention went to her as
she broke the silence. I noticed at once how pretty she is with her long black
hair draping her shoulders. “Really? As in Maymay Entrata, the winner in the
reality TV show Pinoy Big Brother?” asked the boy in heavy glasses. She
nodded. “Besides being a reality show winner, Maymay is also a singer,
actress, composer, model, and writer.” “Wow! Are you a fan? You know
many things about her,” she replied with a grin and amazement to what I
said. “Well, I am a fan too!” said the other boy in our group and we all
laughed. “By the
way, I am Anne. I am from Batangas,” she finally introduced herself. I was
really waiting to know her name. Everyone in our table started to introduce
themselves, including me.

What is It
The following are some strategies that people use when communicating:
1. Nomination
Aspeakercarriesoutnominationtocollaborativelyandproductively establish a topic.
You use this strategy to open a topic and start a conversation. Nomination is
usually employed at the beginning of interaction to set the purpose of
conversation.
Examples:
You may start off with making inquiries, giving compliment, asking for
opinion, or offering help. This could efficiently signal the beginning of a new
topic in the conversation.
• “Have you heard about “the new normal”?
• “I saw your TikTok post on Facebook. It’s really great.”
• “What can you say about our new plan for the project? Do you think it
will work?”
• You are the new student, right? Would you like me to tour you around
the campus?
Remember to avoid questions that are too personal like asking about how
much money the person or his parents are earning. This may make the
person you are talking to uncomfortable and may refuse to talk with you.
Topics like politics and religion should also be avoided because these may
cause quarrel or disagreement.

2. Restriction
Restriction in communication refers to any limitation you may have as a speaker.
Examples:
3. Turn-taking

Examples:
• You can employ this strategy by making your response shorter yet
informative enough to express your ideas and feelings.
•

cue that will do as well.
Remember to listen to the other person talking instead of just waiting for
your turn to talk. This way, you can have a meaningful and productive
conversation. Also, always show politeness when you need to take the
conversational floor from the person currently speaking.

Examples:
5. Topic Shifting
Topic shifting involves moving from one topic to another.
This strategy is used to change the topic to a new one which helps
communication keep going.
Examples:
• You may use conversational transitions that indicate a shift like “By
the way...”, “Before I forget...”, “Which reminds me of,” and the like.
• In a report presentation you may use expressions like “Moving on to
the next topic…”, “Now, let’s talk about…”, “This time, let me tell you
about…”
Remember that Topic shifting requires a good timing. So, make sure
that topic is adequately discussed before changing it to another one.
There may be a need to shift topic when there’s a pause in
conversation, minimal response like nodding and smiling.

This strategy is used to end an interaction or close a topic. Most of the time,
the topic initiator or the person who opened the topic takes responsibility to
signal the end of the discussion as well.
Examples:
In other situation, you may end the topic by sharing what you learned from
the conversation.
