Teaching Strategies (Guided Discovery Approach, Constructivism and Cooperative learning)
a. ACTIVITY ACTIVITY 1: What are the different types of Media Language?
Strategy: Individual Activity

In some types of media, there are elements that makes it usable

and functional as a form of media. Here some of those elements:
- subtitles - background music - facial expressions
- captions - musical scoring - ending credits
- costumes - dialogue of characters - script
- location - gestures - props

Using this table, classify these elements according to its category

below:
Visual Aural Written Verbal Nonverbal

 The students will write this on a one-whole sheet of paper.

 The teacher will reveal the answers while discussing the
importance of the elements on their respective media type.

b. ANALYSIS  The teacher will discuss these terms to the students:

Media Language - is the way in which the meaning of media text
is conveyed to the audience to convey meaning through SIGNS
and SYMBOLS suggested by the way a scene is set up and filmed.
 There are different types of Media Language. These are:
1. Visual Language – is what is
seen on the screen specifically
chosen to generate meaning.
These are the visual elements in
any type of media.
Ex: costumes, props, color,
pictures etc.
2. Aural Language – these are sounds
we hear in any form of media. It
helps create a scene and construct
environment.
Ex: In motion pictures, background
music is used to create atmosphere
in every scene.
There are two kinds of sounds used in media: diegetic and non-
diegetic sounds.
3. Written Language - this is print-based media. Media language
that generates meaning. Captions makes a photo meaningful.

Ex: for photos, captions are used; for films, subtitles are
included to further understand the scene.

4. Verbal Language – pertains to the dialogue or lines in TVs, radio and

means the way it is delivered and its
context
Ex: dialogues by the characters
in a film, lines delivered by
news anchors in the radio.

Prepared by: Edel J. Vargas

 5. Nonverbal Language – these are
body language, gestures and
actions observed in media forms
(e.g. TV advertisements, films,
music video etc.)

Media Text – these are text utilized elements used to depict any
media item like programs, photos, adverts, newspaper.

Codes and Conventions

Codes - are systems of signs which create meaning to
communicate ideas and impressions for audiences, producers
and other stakeholders. Codes can be technical, symbolic or
written.
Conventions - are generally accepted ways of doing things.
c. ABSTRACTION

 To further deepen the discussion these questions will be asked to

students

1. How do each media language differ from the other?

2. What is the importance of media text in media?
3. Why are codes and conventions important in media?
 Then, the students will be given an activity.
ACTIVITY 2: Media Languages
Strategy: Individual Activity
(The teacher distributes the given materials to be use in the group
activity.)
Materials: DLP SHEET
Directions: Think of an example of a media language found in a media
form aligned with it. Use the table below:
Media Language Media Form Example
Ex:
Visual Language Books Pictures in some pages
1. Visual language Print ad posters
2. Aural Language Horror movies
3. Written Language Photographs
