STRATEGY
ve
IT IS A WELL-PLANNED SERIES OF ACTIONS AIMED AT
ACHIEVING CERTAIN OBJECTIVES THROUGH THE USE
OF COMMUNICATION METHODS, TECHNIQUES, AND
APPROACHES.
COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGIES
THESE ARE THE MEANS USED TO OVERCOME
VARIOUS PROBLEMS IN COMMUNICATION WHICH
MAY ARISE FROM LINGUISTIC LAPSES OR LACK
OF UNDERSTANDING (MARIANI, 2010).
 TYPES OF

C o m m u n i c a t i
STRATEGY
ve
1. NOMINATION
THIS IS A strategy of collaboratively and productively
establishing a topic by proposing or telling the other person what
we would like to talk about, thereby initiating the conversation.
EXAMPLE
1. Today, we will be discussing...
2. It would be nice to talk about...
3. Have you heard about...
4. There’s a new project in science class that I find intriguing. Would you like
to brainstorm ideas together?
5. "I noticed the library is organizing a book club. How about we talk about
which book we'd like to read?"
2. RESTRICTION
IT REFERS TO LIMITING THE TOPIC OR SUBJECT IN
CONVERSATION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE PERSON
WANTS TO FOCUS ON A CERTAIN ASPECT OF THE ISSUE
UNDER DELIBERATION OR WHEN THE TIME TO
DISCUSS IT IS VERY SHORT.
EXAMPLE
1. Let us focus on...
2. Why not concentrate on...
3. Can we just focus on...
4. Please refrain from discussing personal matters during our group study
session; let's stay on task.
5. I propose we limit our discussion to the current chapter of the textbook to
ensure we cover all the material.
 3. TURN - TAKING
IT INVOLVES THE ORDERLY EXCHANGE OF SPEAKING
TURNS BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS IN A CONVERSATION.

SPEAKERS USE VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL CUES TO

INDICATE WHEN THEY HAVE FINISHED SPEAKING AND
WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ANOTHER PARTICIPANT
TO TAKE THE FLOOR.
EXAMPLE
1. May I share my thoughts about this project?
2. Could I add something about what you share?
3. I’d like to hear what others think about our topic.
4. I’ll pass the floor to you for your input.
5. What do you think about this? Would you like to share your opinion?
6. We haven't heard from you yet. Do you have anything to add?
 4. TOPIC CONTROL
THIS STRATEGY INVOLVES MANAGING THE DIRECTION AND
FLOW OF THE CONVERSATION.

SPEAKERS MAY ASSERT CONTROL OVER THE TOPIC BY

INTRODUCING NEW IDEAS, ASKING QUESTIONS, OR
STEERING THE DISCUSSION BACK ON TRACK IF IT
DIGRESSES.
EXAMPLE

1. The real question here is...

2. Go on...
3. Let us talk about something I am more familiar with...
4. Before we move on, does anyone have any questions about the English
homework?
5. We've covered the basics of the topic. Now, let's delve deeper into the key
concepts.
6. It was unexpected, wasn’t it?
 5. TOPIC SHIFTING
IT OCCURS WHEN SPEAKERS TRANSITION FROM ONE TOPIC
TO ANOTHER DURING A CONVERSATION.

This strategy allows for flexibility and adaptation to changing dynamics

or interests within the interaction.
EXAMPLE
1. By the way…
2. Going back…
3. Talking about…
4. Speaking of vacations, have you decided where you want to go for your
next trip?
5. Since we're done discussing the English project, did anyone catch last
night's basketball game?
6. Before we move on to our next activity, has anyone signed up for the
educational trip?
6. REPAIR
THIS REFERS TO STRATEGIES USED TO CORRECT
MISUNDERSTANDINGS OR ERRORS IN
COMMUNICATION.

SPEAKERS MAY EMPLOY REPAIR STRATEGIES SUCH

AS CLARIFICATION, REPETITION, OR REPHRASING
TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.
 EXAMPLE

I am going to Bianca’s … I mean Bella’s birthday party.

Charles: I need to pack my things for our Boracay trip, so I need…uhm…

Joy: A bigger bag?
Charles: Yes, that’s right!

Angie: Aren’t you glad that it is Friday today?

Frank: Friday is tomorrow.
 7. TERMINATION
IT REFERS TO THE CONVERSATION PARTICIPANTS’ CLOSE INITIATING
EXPRESSIONS THAT END A TOPIC IN A CONVERSATION.

SPEAKERS MAY USE VERBAL OR NON-VERBAL CUES TO INDICATE THAT

THE INTERACTION HAS REACHED ITS CONCLUSION, SUCH AS SAYING
GOODBYE, MAKING A CLOSING STATEMENT, OR INITIATING A
FAREWELL GESTURE.
EXAMPLE
1. Let’s keep in touch…

2. Call me if you have some questions…

3. Thank you.

4. I'll let you get back to studying. See you in class!

5. Well, that's all for now. Have a good day!

6. Thanks for explaining that concept to me. I'll remember to study

it. Bye!
 LET’S REVIEW: TRUE OR FALSE

1. In turn-taking, you use signals if you want to speak and wait for one person
to finish speaking.
2. When you employ a nomination strategy, you try to open a topic with the
people you are talking to.
3. To terminate a conversation, it is useful to express your desire to end the
interaction politely.
4. Saying “sorry” is the most common repair strategy.
5. Repair refers to the practices used by speakers to approach problems
encountered in conversation.
Communicative strategies are used to achieve conversations.
However, there are instances wherein the people involved in
the speaking situations fail to use the different strategies in
communication, like TERMINATION.
