FIRST AND FOREMOST, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT DIFFERENT SPEAKING

CONTEXTS REQUIRE DIFFERENNT COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES . FOR EXAMPLE, THE WAY IN

WHICH ONE COMMUNICATES IN A PROFESSIONAL SETTING WILL LIKELY DIFFER FROM THE

WAY IN WHICH ONE COMMUNICATES IN A CASUAL SOCIAL SETTING . IN A PROFESSIONAL

SETTING , IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE FORMAL LANGUAGE AND GESTURES TO CONVEY THEIR

MESSAGE .

ONE TIME I HAD TO EXPLAIN A MESSAGE IN TO DIFFERENT INSTANCES WITH VARYING

CONTEXT WAS WHEN I HAD TO EXPLAIN A SCIENCE REPORT ABOUT THE EXPERIMENT . IN ONE

INSTANCE , I HAD TO EXPLAIN IT IN A MORE CASUAL SETTING , LIKE CONVERSATION WITH MY

GROUP MATES . AND IN ANOTHER INSTANCE , I HAD TO PRESENT THE REPORT IN A FORMAL
SETTING , LIKE EXPLAINING THE REPORT IN FRONT OF THE CLASS OF STEM 11 OF SINDANGAN
NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL .

IN THE CASUAL SETTING OF A CONVERSATION WITH MY GROUP MATES , MY COMMUNICATIVE

STRATEGY WAS MORE RELAXED AND INFORMAL . I USED A CONVERSATIONAL SPEECH STYLE

AND SPEECH ACT, TAKING ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING RELATABLE AND ENGAGING AS

A SPEAKER . MY MESSAGE DELIVERED IN A MORE CONVERSATIONAL TONE , USING PERSONAL

EXAMPLES TO MAKE THE REPORT MORE RELATABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE TO MY GROUP

MATES . I ALSO USED HUMOUR AND STORYTELLING TO KEEP THE CONVERSATION LIGHT

ENGAGING . MY RESPONSIBILITY AS A SPEAKER WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT MY GROUP MATES

FELT INFORMED .

IN THE FORMAL SETTING OF A CONVERSATION WITH MY CLASSMATES , MY COMMUNICATIVE

STRATEGY WAS CHANGE TO BE MORE FORMAL AND STRUCTURED . I USED MORE

PROFESSIONAL SPEECH STYLE AND SPEECH ACT, TAKING ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING A

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND AUTHORITATIVE SPEAKER . MY MESSAGE WAS DELIVERED IN A CLEAR

AND CONCISE MANNER , EVIDENCE AND STATISTICS TO BACK UP MY POINTS . I ALSO USED
PERSUASIVE LANGUAGE THAT ENGAGED AND PERSUADED THE AUDIENCE. TOGETHER WITH
MY GROUP WE USED A VISUAL AID TO CONVEY THE MESSAGE EFFECTIVELY TO THE

AUDIENCE . AS A SPEAKER I WANTED TO ENSURE THAT THE AUDIENCE UNDERSTOOD THE

MESSAGE AND INFORMATION SO WELL.

OVERALL, THE ADJUSTMENTS IN EACH SPEAKING CONTEXT , SPEECH STYLE AND SPEECH ACT,

AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS A SPEAKER WOULD RESULT IN A DIFFERENT DELIVERY OF THE

MESSAGE . IN THE FORMAL SETTING , MY MESSAGE WOULD BE DELIVERED WITH AUTHORITY

AND PERSUASION , WHILE IN THE CASUAL SETTING , IT WOULD BE DELIVERED WITH

RELATABILITY AND ENGAGEMENT . BOTH INSTANCES REQUIRE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATIVE

STRATEGIES TO EFFECTIVELY CONVEY THE SAME . AS A RESULT , MY RESPONSIBILITIES AS A

SPEAKER , THE MESSAGE ITSELF , AND MY DELIVERY ALL DIFFERED IN THE TWO VARYING

CONTEXTS . IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ADAPT MY COMMUNICATION TO EFFECTIVELY CONVEY THE

MESSAGE AND ACHIEVE THE DESIRED OUTCOME IN EACH SITUATION .

THE SPEECH STYLE AND SPEECH ACT RESPONSIBILITIES , SUCH AS INFORMING AND
PERSUADING , UNDERGO ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON THE SPEAKING CONTEXT . SPEECH STYLE
REFERS TO THE MANNER IN WHICH LANGUAGE IS USED INCLUDING THE LEVEL OF

FORMALITY , TONE , AND VOCABULARY CHOICES . AS A SPEAKER , IT IS ESSENTIAL TO

RECOGNIZE THESE DIFFERENCES AND ADAPT COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES ACCORDINGLY

TO EFFECTIVELY ENGAGE AND CONNECT WITH DIVERSE AUDIENCE IN DIFFERENT SETTINGS .
