COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
Examples:
• I was late for class again! The MRT
stopped midway. What is wrong with the
MRT?
• Have you noticed the weird weather
lately? Is this because of global warming?
• What’s the latest news?
• How’s the students there?
2. RESTRICTION
Examples:
• You were asked by your teacher to
deliver a speech about “Digital
Education”
• That arrest move was a disaster waiting
to happen. Do you agree?
• Please write at least one paragraph about
how you managed to communicate
3. TURN-TAKING
Examples:
• May I request to add that OFWs would
rather be home and work here? So they
could be with their families.
• In meetings “May I have the floor,
please?”
• In class discussion “Mark, raising his
hand to say something about the topic”
4. TOPIC CONTROL
Examples:
• In board meeting, the director manages
the conversation and directs who will
speak.
• “Okay, so much for that.”
• “Going back to what we are talking about.”
• “Let’s go back to the topic.”
5. TOPIC SHIFTING
Examples:
• “If we cannot use the Earth’s resources,
our economies will die. We need to
choose: the economy or the environment.
• “Moving on to the next topic.”
• “This time, let me tell you about…”
• “By the way…”
6. REPAIR
Examples:
• “I am sorry but what do you mean by…”
• “What I am trying to say is that…”
• “Can you please repeat the last part of
the instruction?”
• “What I mean is…”
7. TERMINATION
Examples:
• “It’s nice catching up with you. I must be
going.”
• “Thanks for your time.”
• “Best regards, see you around.”
• “Hope to see you again.”
