Types of Communicative Strategy

 
1. Nomination

 A speaker carries out nomination to collaboratively and productively
establisha topic. Basically, when you employ this strategy, you try to open a
topic with the people you are talking to.

 presenting a particular topic clearly, truthfully, and saying only what is
relevant

 It is a strategy that can also be applied any time during the course of an
interaction as a way of continuing the communication. When this strategy is
used, the topic is introduced in a clear and truthful manner, stating only
what is relevant to keep the interaction focused.
Examples:
o
 "Do you have anything to say?"
o
 "Have you heard the news about the prettiest girl in school?"
o
 "Now,
it’s
 your turn to ask questions."
o
 "Does that make sense to you?"

2. Restriction

 Restriction in communication refers to any limitation you may have
as aspeaker.

 constraining the response or reaction within a set of categories

 strategy that constrains or restricts the Response of the other
person involvedin the Communication Situation. The Listener is forced to
respond only withina set of categories that is made by the
Speaker.Examples:
o
 In your class, you might be asked by your teacher to brainstorm on
peerpressure.
o
 When you were asked to deliver a speech in a specific language.
3. Turn-Taking

 Turn-taking pertains to the process by which people decide who takes
theconversational floor. There is a code of behaviour behind establishing
andsustaining a productive conversation, but the primary idea is to give
allcommunicators a chance to speak.

 
recognizing when and how to speak because it is one’s turn
 

 requires that each Speaker speaks only when it is his/ her
turn duringinteraction. Knowing when to talk depends on watching out for
the verbal andnonverbal cues that signal the next Speaker that the previous
Speaker hasfinished or the topic under discussion has been exhausted and a
new topicmay be introduced. At the same time, it also means that others
should begiven the opportunity to take turn. Turn-taking Communicative
Strategy useseither an informal approach (just jump in and start talking) or
a formalapproach (permission to speak is requested).
Example:
o
 Can we all listen to the one who talk in front of us?
o
 "Excuse me? I think we should speak one at a time, so we can
clearlyunderstand what we want to say about the topic."
o
 "Go on with your ideas. I'll let you finish first before I say something."
Topic Control

 Topic control covers how procedural formality and informality affects
thedevelopment of topics in conversation. This only means that when a topic
isinitiated, it should be collectively developed by avoiding
unnecessaryinterruptions and topic shifts.

 keeping the interaction going by asking questions and eliciting a response

 This is simply a question-answer formula that moves the discussion
forward.This also allows the Listener or other participants to take turns,
contributeideas, and continue the discussion.
Example:
o
 "One of the essential lessons I gained from the discussion is theimportance
of sports and wellness to a healthy lifestyle."
5. Topic Shifting

 Topic shifting, as the name suggests, involves moving from one topic
toanother. In other words, it is where one part of a conversation ends
andwhere begins.

 introducing a new topic followed by the continuation of that topic

 strategy that is useful in introducing another topic. This strategy works
bestwhen there is follow-through so that new topic continues to be
discussed.Examples:
o
 "By the way, there's a new shop opening at the mall"
o
 
“In
 addition to what you said about the beautiful girl is that she is alsosmart."
6. Repair

 Repair refers to how speaker address the problems in
speaking, listening,and comprehending that they may encounter in a
conversation.

 overcoming communication breakdown to send more
comprehensiblemessages
Examples:
o
 "Excuse me, but there are 5 Functions of Communication not 4."
o
 "I'm sorry, the word should be pronounced as pretty not priti."
7. Termination

 
Termination refers to the conversation participants’ close
-initiating expressions thatend a topic in a conversation.

 using verbal and nonverbal signals to end the interaction

 ends the interaction through verbal and nonverbal Messages that
both Speaker andListener send to each other. Sometimes the Termination is
quick and short.Sometimes it is prolonged by clarification, further questions,
or the continuation ofthe topic already discussed, but the point of the
language and body movement is toend the communication.
Examples:
o
 "Best regards to your parents! See you around!
o
 
“It
 was nice meeting you. Bye!"
o
 "That is all for today class, goodbye!"

rather be home and work here so they could be in their families.
