CO.1. Convey ideas through oral, audio-visual, and /or web based presentations for different
target audiences in local and global settings using appropriate registers.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1.1. Explain key concepts, elements and functions of verbal and non –verbal communication in
various multicultural context structuring of the English language and the use of suitable
maritime communication phrases.
INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITY
Gather your group of participants together and hand out a piece of paper and a pen or
pencil to each player. Tell them you will give them verbal instructions on drawing an object, one
step at a time.
For example, you might give them instructions like:
2. Draw a circle within the square, such that it fits exactly in the middle of the square.
3. Intersect 2 lines through the circle, dividing the circle into 4 equal parts.
As the exercise continues, it will get progressively harder; one misstep could mean that
every following instruction is misinterpreted or misapplied. Participants will need to listen
carefully to ensure their drawing comes out accurately. Once the instructions have all been read,
compare drawings and decide who won.
For added engagement, decide in advance on what the finished product is supposed to
represent (e.g., an anchor or a propeller).
The game is easy to play but not so easy to “win.” It requires participants’ full
attention and active listening. This may bridge the gap to students recalling and
understanding aspects of communication on different phases.

DISCUSSION:
The Africa Mercy Departs Pointe-Noire: Captain Tim Trethway contacts the Chief Officer on the radio in
preparations to leave.
4. Visualizations refers to the use of graphs and charts, maps, logos and other
visualizations can all communicate messages.
2. Receiver is the person who receives the message or for whom the message is meant
for. It is the receiver who tries to understand the message in the best possible
manner in achieving the desired objectives.
3. Message is also known as the subject matter of this process, i.e., the content of the
letter, speech, order, information, idea, or suggestion.
4. Communication channel or the media through which the sender passes the
information and understanding to the receiver. It acts as a connection between the
communicator and the communicatee, i.e., the levels of communication or
relationships that exist between different individuals or departments of an
organization.
4. Style – covers word choice (economy, precision, and specificity of language and
detail; abstract vs. concrete language; action verbs vs. linking or weak verbs with
nominalizations; figures of speech: schemes and tropes); tone (personality and
humor); active vs. passive voice; sentence variety.
The process of communication based on the Model of Osgood Schramm, presents that
the communication process starts with the speaker (left) who is encoding the message. This
message will be then sent to the receiver (right) who is decoding it upon receiving. The message
is interpreted by the receiver, in which feedback will be delivered to the speaker. Thus, the
process will continue on to its cycle, as both speaker and receiver have a common understanding
with each other.
Comprehension Check:
1. Allow the students to elaborate the process of communication. Let them use their
own words as long as they will be able to incorporate all of communication’s
elements.
2. What are the possible factors that may interfere on communication process? Give a
concrete scenario.

Reflective essays are those sorts of essays that seem so easy, and yet so hard to write, all
at the same time. To put it simply, reflective essays constitute a critical
examination of a life experience. It is an essay that is akin to a diary entry,
so it needs to have a great deal of coherence and a good structure.
1. A focus on personal growth: A type of reflective essay often used as a strategy for
helping students to learn how to analyze their personal life experiences to promote
emotional growth and development. The essay gives the student a better
understanding of both themselves and their behaviors.
2. A focus on the literature: This kind of essay requires students to provide a summary
of the literature, after which it is applied to the student’s own life experiences.
1. Introduction must contain both a hook and a thesis statement. The point of having a
‘hook’ is to grab the attention of your audience or reader from the very beginning.
You must portray the exciting aspects of your story in the initial paragraph so that
you stand the best chances of holding your reader’s interest The thesis statement is a
brief summary of the focus of the essay, which in this case is a particular experience
that influenced you significantly.
2. Body lay out the important elements of your experience in a timeline – this will then
help you clearly see how to piece your narrative together. Ensure the body of your
reflective essay is well focused and contains appropriate critique and reflection. The
body should not only summarize your experience, it should explore the impact that
the experience has had on your life, as well as the lessons that you have learned as a
result. The emphasis should generally be on reflection as opposed to summation. A
reflective posture will not only provide readers with insight on your experience, it’ll
highlight your personality and your ability to deal with or adapt to particular
situations.

3. Conclusion provide a summary of both the points made throughout, and what you have
learned as a result. Try to include a few points on why and how your attitudes and behaviors
have been changed. Consider also how your character and skills have been affected, for
example: what conclusions can be drawn about your problem
solving skills? What can be concluded about your approach to specific situations? What
might you do differently in similar situations in the future? What steps have you taken to
consolidate everything that you have learned from your experience?

Questions: Ask yourself questions like ‘what was good about the experience?’ and ‘what was
bad about the experience?’. Asking (and answering) questions can help you get started,
and provide a basis for drawing out your own opinions and ideas.
Stepping stones: Here, the idea is to think of a topic and list several experiences related to the
topic chronologically. This helps you to generate other ideas. The topic could be a
person, a place or an object (Progoff, 1975, as cited in Moon, 1999).
Dialogues: The writer composes a dialogue between himself/herself and another person or part
of self. This could start with a greeting and then develop into a conversation, putting
forward a different viewpoint or exploring a problem. One speaker could give ‘guidance
from wisdom’, i.e. represent someone in the writer’s life who has been a source of
wisdom and influences his/her thoughts (Progoff, 1975, as cited in Moon, 1999).
Double entry techniques: One part of this is descriptive and the other part consists of
reflection on this description (Elbow, 1973, as cited in Moon, 1999). Holly (1984)
suggests using a double page: on the left, description, and on the right, analysis and
reflection. This format lends itself to a series of dated entries.
Free writing: This is when you write for a set amount of time (e.g. 5 minutes) without
planning what you will write or thinking about your spelling or grammar. The idea is to
put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, and simply write. This is a good technique for
times when you feel there is a barrier to writing, because it helps your ideas to flow.
Highlights of the day: Describe and analyze either a high point in your day (Field, 1951, as
cited in Moon, 1999), e.g. a pleasant or rewarding experience, or a negative experience
(Miller, 1979, as cited in Moon, 1999).
Course handouts and readings: Take a look at a piece of material or a short reading from
your unit. Read it closely and use it as a prompt to reflect on how you feel and what you
think about as you read the text. Material such as questionnaires on learning styles and
learning cycles can also be useful to prompt reflection.
Rehearsal: Write about a problem or dilemma which has been worrying you, and visualize and
reflect on possible ways to deal with it.(Moon, 1999).

A. Your Personal Reflection—Explain what you have always known about yourself. What have
you been interested in or involved in since you were a small child?
Example—Future Captain: Ever since I was a young child I’ve been interested in sailing
and oceans. When I was little, I loved helping my brother in his projects and watching
him do it. I especially loved seeing things that embodies vessels in the middle of vast
ocean. As I got older I learned and enjoyed trying new things about maritime.
B. Displays knowledge of your learning style, personality, interests, skills, and values
∙ Skills Example—I have always had good people skills. I like meeting new people and
getting to know them. I get along well with others and this is important when you are

build relationships with other members of the team, in good times and bad. the ability to
handle the burden of being captain while still playing in the team. the ability to inspire
and motivate and raise team morale.
Example: My road to graduation was rough. When I was in elementary school my family
moved four times and I had to change schools. It was hard always being the “new kid” in
class. It seemed like I was always behind. By the time I got to high school I was more
interested in my friends than in school. I had a great time skipping school and fooling
around. That was until I woke up and realized I was failing all of my classes. I always
thought I could get caught up, but I found out I was so far behind that the only way I
could graduate was to leave Bay and start going to Ramon Magsaysay H.S. At first I
didn’t know if I would like it or not, but it has been a good choice. I am actually going to
graduate this year and that makes me happy and my family proud.

Moreso, globalization is the word used to describe the growing interdependence of the
world’s economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and
services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and information. (Peterson Institute for
International Economics, 2019)
The extreme poverty rate has fallen below 8%, the lowest recorded level in
human history. For the first time since the start of the SDGs, the number of people in
extreme poverty in Africa is decreasing. India, once a global hot spot for poverty, is now
on track to end extreme poverty.

Despite these bright spots the world is off track to realize the global goals by the
end of this coming decade. On today’s trajectory, nearly half a billion people will still live
in extreme poverty in 2030: 589 million today compared with 479 million in ten years.
The overwhelming majority of those will be in Africa, affected by a warming planet and
unstable societies.

3. Inequality
The year 2020 marks the ninth anniversary of the war in Syria, and the fifth in
Yemen. Venezuela may very well become the source of the world’s largest and most
underfunded refugee crisis. Lethal violence and violent crime is on the rise, affecting
growing cities in an urbanizing world. The risk of interstate conflicts and geopolitical
strife has taken center stage.
"People of different religions and cultures live side by side in almost every part of the world, and
most of us have overlapping identities which unite us with very different groups. We can love what we
are, without hating what – and who – we are not. We can thrive in our own tradition, even as we learn
from others, and come to respect their teachings." —Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General of the United
Nations

Many companies today hire employees that are located in other countries. Using
communication vehicles such as video calling makes it simple to converse with
colleagues across the globe, almost making it feel as if they are in the same room.
Technology also makes it easier to connect with suppliers and customers all over the
world, and to streamline those relationships through improves ordering, shipment
tracking and so on.
The phrase "global village," coined by theorist Marshall McLuhan has affected
both by globalization and global communication, the global village is created when
distance and isolation no longer matter because people are connected by technology.
Wide-spread telephone and internet access have been life-changing for many people
across the world, especially those in developing countries.
3. Education
To educate someone, we need to communicate the ideas, information regarding
syllabus or the study material to the student. If a teacher is communicating well with his
students, his students will be satisfied with him and they will able to grasp more.
Inefficient communication can lead to transfer of ambiguous knowledge.

DISCUSSION:
Multicultural refers to a society that contains several cultural or ethnic groups. People
have their own way of living – life styles – which are somehow influenced by the other group
of individuals.
Cross-cultural presents a comparison of different cultures. In cross-cultural societies,
one culture is often considered “the norm” and all other cultures are compared or contrasted to
the dominant culture.

Cultural do’s and don’ts are one of the most important parts of diversity in the
workplace training. The customs and rituals involved in greeting someone are often different
from country to country, and unfamiliar customs can sometimes be confusing. Situations get
even more confusing when different greeting gestures are required.
In
Remember!
Gestures can say more than words, and just as we are usually very careful when using
foreign languages, we should consider carefully what hand gestures we should display whilst
in different cultures. The world is indeed full of diversities, so enjoy your learning.
1. Frozen or “static” register | At this level, language is literally “frozen” in time and
form. It does not change. This type of language is often learned and repeated by rote.
Examples include biblical verse, prayers, the National Anthem, and so forth.
2. Formal register | This style is impersonal and often follows a prescriptive format.
The speaker uses complete sentences, avoids slang and may use technical or academic
vocabulary. It is likely that the speaker will use fewer contractions, but opt instead for
complete words. (Example: “have not” instead of “haven’t”). This is the register used for
most academic and scientific publishing.
3. Consultative register | This is the register used when consulting an expert such as a
doctor. The language used is more precise. The speaker is likely to address the expert by
a title such as “Doctor”, “Mr.” or “Mrs.”.
4. Casual register | This register is conversational in tone. It is the language used
among and between friends. Words are general, rather than technical. This register may
include more slang and colloquialisms.
5. Intimate register | The language used by lovers. This is the most intimate form of
language. It is best avoided in public and professional situations.
Remember!
Knowing what the various registers are, how to differentiate between them
and when to use which one increases your chances of being accepted by groups
and speakers in a variety of contexts.

CO.1. Convey ideas through oral, audio-visual, and /or web based presentations for different
target audiences in local and global settings using appropriate registers.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1.4. Evaluate multimodal texts critically to enhance
receptive (listening, reading and viewing) skills
and the suitability of various language forms in different maritime contexts.
Message is the core of the communication process. Once message is evaluated and
interpreted the other way the sender sends it, miscommunication is then expected to happen.
The succeeding topics entail different guidelines necessary on evaluating a message.
1. SIMPLICITY
* In order to ensure that our messages have simplicity, we should
ask ourselves two questions:
– is my purpose evident?
– Is my core message clear?

2. SPECIFICITY
*Refers to our choices of language and its usage on order to ensure
language is specific we may ask ourselves:
– Is my language specific?
– is my language concrete, rather than abstract?
– am i suing words which have additional meanings and could perhaps be misconstrued?
3. STRUCTURE
*Ideas should be organized and easy to follow.
– Does my messages have a STRUCTURE?
– is there a more effective way to arrange my ideas?
4. STICKINESS
Stickiness is how much an idea stays around in our culture and commands our attention. It
combines the idea of being memorable, and staying near the front of our mind. Sticky messages
win the war for our attention, by holding our focus despite the incursions of new messages

▪ introduce yourself
▪ mention the job (or kind of job) you're applying for (or looking for)
▪ show that your skills and experience match the skills and experience needed to do the job
▪ finish with a call to action (for example, asking for an interview or a meeting).
Here are three simple ways to make your cover letter as specific as possible:
▪ Try not to address your letter ‘To whom it may concern’. Find out the name of the person
who will read your application. This might take a little effort, but it's worth it.
▪ If you found the job in an advertisement, it will probably name a person to send the
application to. If it doesn’t, call the employer or advertiser and ask who to send the
application to. Telephone is best, but email them if you can’t find a contact phone
number.
▪ If you find out the person's name, don't use their first name. Use either ‘Mr’ or ‘Ms’ and
their last name instead.
▪ Can you tell me more about the kind of person you're looking for?
▪ Is there a position description I can look at? (Only ask this if the job advertisement doesn’t
mention a position description.)
*Note down the answers to these questions as they can be used in your cover letter
Find out more about the company so you can tailor your cover letter for the job. Here are some
tips:
▪ If you know the name of the company, look for information online.
▪ If the company has a website, visit it (especially their ‘About us’ page).
▪ If the company name isn't in the advertisement, call the recruitment agency or advertiser
and ask who the employer is.
▪ Put your name and contact details at the top of your cover letter. You don't have to give
your postal address, but you do need to include your email and phone number.
▪ Your email address should create a professional impression. Don't use an email address
like yolozapbangpowdude@xmail.com.
▪ If you don't have a professional email address, you can make one with a free email
provider. Make it simple – something that includes your first name and your last
name is a good way to go.
▪ Under your own name and contact details, you should include:
▪ If you're having trouble finding this information, you can call the company to ask who
you should address your application to.
▪ You can also use ‘To whom it may concern’, but it’s best to only use this as a last
resort.

▪ At the start of your cover letter you need to say which job you're applying for.
▪ You can do this on a line by itself (for example, ‘Regarding: Application for Stock
Controller position’).
▪ You can also do this in the opening paragraph (for example, ‘I am writing to apply for
the recently advertised Stock Controller position’.)
▪ Include a brief summary about how your skills and experiences match the job
description. A short bullet list is fine.
▪ If you're answering a job advertisement, there may be a position description that lists
essential skills and experiences. It may also have a list of ‘desirable’ skills and
experience. Your cover letter needs to respond to all of the items on the ‘essential’
list. You should also respond to as many items as you can on the ‘desirable’ list.
▪ Remember that if you say you have a skill or experience, you need to show how you've
used it or how you got it (for example, if you say you've got child-minding skills,
mention some jobs where you've used them).
▪ After listing your skills and experience, you should explain why these mean you're
suited to the job (for example, ‘My ability to get along with anyone and my
experience in solving customer problems in a retail setting make me ideally suited for
this job.’)
▪ Using the same language as people who do a particular job shows that you understand
the industry or field that the employer works in.
▪ Find out what the employer does, and how they talk about themselves. Use this
language in your cover letter.
▪ For example, if there's a tool or software or skill the job requires, like machining tools
or cash handling, mention it in your cover letter (but make sure you mention it
correctly).
▪ Your cover letter should finish by asking the employer to read your resume. It should
also ask them to contact you about an interview.
▪ Try something simple like, ‘I have attached a copy of my resume. I look forward to
hearing from you about this job’.

JP Rizal, Malate Manila
I am extremely interested in submitting an application for the advertised vacant position with John Smith
and Associates Shipping Company for a second engineer.
In November 2015 I have obtained by certification on Merchant Marine Credentials (MMC). This has
given me a range of practical capabilities that will meet the needs of this role. With regard to my ability
to meet the specific requirements of this job as Tanker man:
▪ Ensure that engines, controls, moving equipment, and cargo are prepared and secured in
compliance with trade regulations.
▪ Secure ship to docks and wharves and enact proper docking protocols.
▪ Follow captain’s orders during storms to accomplish safe passage through turbulent waters. ▪
Develop space-saving protocols for loading cargo materials. Have increased available storage space
and brought ship to maximum hauling capacity.
My colleagues and employers have commended me for my high level of interpersonal skills and
naturally engaging personality. My motivations include learning new things and the challenge of meeting
key objectives. My current and previous managers can be contacted to provide more information about
my ability to meet the needs of this job. I understand that you will receive a large number of applications
for this role. I do, however, believe that my motivation, commitment and pre
existing skills will allow me to fit into your work environment and immediately start supporting the
needs of your organization.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my application at an interview. I have
enclosed a copy of my resume for your consideration. I can be contacted at all times on the details
provided above.
