Now, what do you think this phrase means?

Very well said. To communicate.

No, Ma’am because talking is just the act of

Why do you say so? Let’s say you are doing a

It will be broken, Ma’am.

In contrast, what usually happens when there is
no good communication or there is always
misunderstanding between them? What will
happen to their family?
Good relationship, Ma’am.

Absolutely. Again, effective communication often

leads to what kind of relationship with others?

even the fire fighters for more information.

If a reporter needs to gather information about

while delivering a speech?

Very good.

(Students’ answers may vary)

Delivering a speech, ma’am.

Conducting Interview

Two groups having a debate.

Conversation with friends.

Can you give me other examples of verbal
communication?

When a person stands straight and his chin is

up while walking, we can say that he has high self-
esteem.

When a person nods his head to express that

he agrees with somebody.

(Students’ answers may vary).

Verbal communication ma’am because it will be

easier for people to understand each other if they
speak or use spoken words.

Can you give me specific examples when a Non-verbal communication, Ma’am, because you

understand you.

In your opinion, which interpersonal

communication strategy is better to use? Which is
easier? Verbal communication or non-verbal
communication?
Yes, Ma’am because with the use of both verbal
and non-verbal communication, the message will
 become clearer and easier to understand.

Bright ideas, class! Your answers are all true

and correct.

But do you believe that we can achieve effective

communication with the use of both (verbal and
non-verbal) at the same time? Why? Why not?

Thank you! That’s right.

picture is trying to tell us?
(Students’ answers may vary).

What do you think is the message behind this The picture is trying to tell us that disability is not a

The picture tells us that sometimes people with

disability have the urge to work or persevere more
than normal people.

In your opinion, is visual communication the
easiest way or strategy to use for effective
communication? Why or why not?
The message of the picture is that we shall not
underestimate people with disability because
sometimes they are better than many normal
individuals because of their positive view and
response in life despite their condition.
(Students’ answers may vary).

Yes, Ma’am because visual communication does

not require you to speak but rather the illustration,
drawing, or visual will explain the message itself.

No, Ma’am because it may result to different

interpretation or understanding from the people
who will going to see it.
