up the pieces of paper under your chair
and sit properly.
I think everyone is present. I’m so glad
that everyone understands the reasons of
coming to school regularly.
a. Review
Before we formally start our lesson, let
us have a brief review about the topic we
discussed last meeting. Can someone
recall it?

(Student raises hand) Ma’am we talked

about four types of sentences according
to use. And these are declarative,

interrogative sentences.

Great! What about the imperative

sentences states information.

Very good! What about exclamatory (Student raises hand) Imperative

sentences? sentences commands or requests.

And lastly, what is interrogative

sentence? (Student raises hand) It expresses strong
feelings.

Very good! Do you have questions about (Student raises hand) Sentences that
types of sentences? asks questions.
If none, do you want to play a game? None, Ma’am.

Yes, Ma’am.
b. Motivation
LET’S WANDER UNDER THE
WATER!
I have a friend named Spongebob. Now
he will be going to school. Upon
traveling from their house to school he
will meet different people in every
station.
Now, I want you to choose what is the
appropriate response of Spongebob upon
meeting these people.
Are you ready?
Yes, Ma’am.
First Station: At Home (Spongebob and
his mom)
Mom: What do you want to eat for your
lunch?
a. Mom, I want adobo for lunch,
thank you for asking. I love you!
b. Duh sis, of course, my favorite,
adobo.
What do you think is the appropriate
response of Spongebob?
(Student raises hand)

Why not letter b?

(Student’s answer)

That is right. One way of showing our

respect to our mother is by addressing
them the proper way. Right?

Yes, Ma’am!
Second Station: In a jeep (Spongebob
and the jeepney driver)
Jeepney driver: Spongebob, do you have
any coins? Barya lang sa umaga.
a. None, manong. I will just pay
you tomorrow.
b. None, manong. I just have etneb
on my wallet.
What should be the appropriate response
of Spongebob?
 (Student raises hand)
What do you think is wrong with letter
b?
(Student’s answer)

Station 3: Outside of school (Spongebob

and his bestfriend)
Bestfriend: What’s up, pre?

want to spill?
b. Good morning, Sir. (Student raises hand)
Station 4: Inside the school (Spongebob
and his teacher)
Teacher: Do you understand the lesson
class?
a. Omsim, mare.
b. Yes, Ma’am. (Student raises hand)
Who among you here addresses your
teacher as mare, siss, gurl.
(Student’s answer)
Nobody. Because there is a polite and
proper way of addressing your teacher.

B. Lesson Proper
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
Presentation

Have you noticed the way you talk to

your friends compared on how the way
you talk to other people?

It is like you are talking to them in a

unique way and vice versa, right? For
instance, I’m pretty sure you don’t say
‘Hello’ to your best friend, instead
you’ll say something else like ‘Sis’ or
‘Pre’

And you don’t talk that way to other

people. Am I right? You won’t say,
‘Hoy sis’ or ‘Hoy pre’ to your parents,
right?

The way we communicate has a big Yes, Ma’am.

impact on how we get on with people
and get the things we want. If the way,
we speak is inappropriate we might
encounter problems along the way.
Remember good communications skills
can help you avoid conflict and solve
problems.

Discussion

Now let us discuss about

communicative styles. What is
communicative style? Kindly, read.

(Student raises hand)

Communicative style it is a speech style

which portrays how a language is
characterized in terms of degree of
Okay, thank you. Communicative style formality.
it is a speech style which portrays how a
language is characterized in terms of
degree of formality.

It means that it depends on the situation

on what style of speech you are going to
use. Of course, you are very much
aware of it because we have these in
day-to-day experiences.

Now, we have different kinds of

communicative style. We have intimate,
casual, consultative, formal and frozen.
The first type of communicative style is
Intimate. Can someone read what is
Intimate communicative style?

(Student raises hand)

Intimate style is used in an informal
situation. Used by people with very
close relationships. Used by couples,
 family, and best friends. And intimate
style the word choices are often forms of
endearment. For example, my love,
Thank you. honey, babe, darling, and or sweetie.

Now, have you ever watched some

romantic movies on television? Or have
you ever watched a short movie that the
main genre is family and the son, and
the mother are having a heart-to-heart
conversation?

For example, when you have boyfriend Yes, Ma’am.

or girlfriend, you will say, “Love, how’s
your day? Take care. I love you!” Or
when you have a problem, and you want
to talk to your mom, you will say,
“Mom, can we talk? I need help.” That
is an example of intimate style
conversation. Do you have questions
about intimate style?

Now let us move on to the next None, Ma’am.

communicative style which is casual.

Let’s have the second style, which is the

casual communicative style. Can
someone read what "casual
communicative style" is?

(Students raise their hands)

Casual communicative style indicates
informal interaction between friends and
acquaintances. It is unpretentious and
not utilized for high-pressure
Thank you! interactions.

As the name suggests, conversations in

a casual setting are less stuffy and more
personable because of the relaxed
atmosphere. When conversing
informally, the use of slang and
abbreviations is tolerated. However, one
should be careful not to overuse them to
the point that they are seen as rude or
mocking.

Casual language is only appropriate

when talking to a group or person with
whom you are comfortable and know
well.

For example, you talk to your teachers

very formally, and sometimes we are
pressurized enough that we hesitate to
ask, but with our close friends, we
manage to just be ourselves and say
whatever we want. For example, you
want to ask your teacher, "Ma'am, are
we going to write the questions and then
answer them?" Then the teacher will
answer yes. But if we ask our close
friend, "Hey, are we going to write the
question, then write the answer?"
Because you are already familiar with it,
your friend will respond with "omsim"
without any misunderstanding as to
what slang that means.

Do you follow, class?

Yes, ma’am.

We are done with intimate and casual

styles. Now, let’s move forward to the
third style, which is the consultative
communicative style. But before we
define what consultative communicative
style is, let us watch this video first. A
conversation between a teacher and a
student.

Based on what you have watched, what (The students watched the video)
have you noticed about the
communication?

As you can see in the video, there is a (Student raises hand)

turn-taking between the speaker and
listener. A good example of consultative
communicative style because it happens
in a two-way participation, right?
Wherein, the speaker provides
background information and the listener Yes, Ma’am.
participates by giving feedback. What
the speaker will say next depends on the
feedback provided by the listener.

Next, can someone read the second

bullet.

(Student raises hand) It is used in semi-

is used in semi-formal situations. Why
is it semi-formal? Because it involves
formal people in a formal venue, but the
conversation is in a friendly way. Like
in the video, the communication
happened in school, but the way they
communicate is not too formal nor
informal.

Is it clear, class?

In addition, sentences or responses are

short, such as yes ma’am, thank you Yes, Ma’am.
Doc, and the like. It signals that both
parties are listening attentively or have
understood each other. Lastly, it is the
most operational among the others.
Most operational in the way that it is
useful and helpful in solving a problem
or addressing concerns.

We also have other examples.

A conversation between…
Doctor and patient,
Teacher and student,
Lawyer and client
Employer and employee

What else, aside from those examples?

Anyone who can give me other
examples of situations or scenarios
where we used the consultative speech
style?

(Student raises hand) Conversation

between Manager and customer, Ma’am.
Remember, the goal of this style is to
give advice about certain issue in order
to address a concern. As the name
implies, consulting is to provide advice.

We are done with the first three styles,

can you name them, anyone?

(Student raises hand)

Exactly! So now, we’ll move on to the Intimate, casual and consultative style.
next which is a one-way nature of
communication intended to share
information in a formal way. Let me
emphasize that “formal way”. From the
definition itself, we are now proceeding
to the fourth communicative style ---
FORMAL COMMUNICATIVE
STYLE.

Can somebody read the definition of

formal communicative style?
Yes, student name, you are
acknowledged.

The formal communicative style is also

considered to be a straightforward
speech. There is no participation from
the listener. This style is often used in
the following formal situations where
there is only one-way communication:

 Speeches
 School lessons
 Graduation ceremony
 A television newscast
 Giving announcements
 A business meeting an interview
or in a classroom
 Used for academic and business
writing
Thank you!
As I mentioned earlier, the formal
communicative style is a one-way
nature of communication intended to
share information in a formal way. It is
used in speaking to medium or large
groups; the language used follows a
commonly accepted format. Usually
uses complete sentences before being
delivered, it does not use slang words
but well-defined and standard ones.

Let's go back to casual style of

communication, again it is characterized
by everyday language use. Casual style
is a style used in informal or casual
situation and using informal language,
as opposed to a formal style. Formal
communication is also known as official
communication and informal
communication is also known as
grapevine communication. When we
say grapevine communication, it
basically means a word for gossip. It
means gleaning information from places
other than the official source. Rumors,
“he said/she said” situations, are other
terms used to describe grapevine
communication.

Is formal communicative style clear?

If none, then let’s proceed to the last Yes, ma’am.

communicative style which the Frozen

communication style is used in formal
settings, and it does not require any
feedback from the audience. It usually
uses long sentences with good grammar
and vocabulary. The use of language is
fixed and relatively static. Here are
some examples of the frozen
communication style.

 The Preamble of the

Constitution
 Marriage Ceremonies
 National Pledge
 National Anthem
 Motto
 Judicial Sentencing
 Contracts
 Wills

As you may have noticed the examples

given here are truly for formal setting
and does not require any feedback from
the audience. First, we have The
Preamble of the Constitution. So, when
you preach or recite the Preamble does
the audience will give feedback?
No, ma’am!
Correct! And, with the other examples
like Marriage ceremonies, National
anthem, Motto, and so on… Is Frozen
communication style clear to you,
students? Do you have any questions or
clarifications?

None, Ma’am!
Well done class.

C. Application

Now class let us see if you listened

attentively. We have two boxes here,
one for the different communicative
styles, and the other box consisting of
all the groups.

Direction: First, you will be grouped

into five. Each group will draw a
random communicative style. All
groups will be given 5 minutes to
prepare and 2 minutes to act in a
particular situation according to the
communicative style that you picked in
front of the class. You will be graded
based on the rubric.

Is the direction clear?

Okay, let’s start the groupings. 1, 2, 3… Yes, Ma’am!

Go to your respective group.

In each group, choose your

representative and come in front to pick
which communicative style you will be
going to act.

Okay, 5 minutes to prepare starts now.

(Each group will do a collaborative

Time’s up! discussion)

Okay, thank you for your participation. (Students performed the scenario)

the love clap and then you will follow.
