II. Background Information for Learners

The setting of communication may defined as the physical surrounding of

the communication event which may be made up of the location where the
communication occurs, environment conditions, time of the day, or day of
the week, as well as proximity of the communicators (Albert, Nakayama, &
Martin 2007).

The process of communication accounts for what happens between the

source of message and the recipient, the skills employed in giving and
receivinginformation, and conveying our ideas and opinions with those
around us.

According to Sampa (2017) the methods of communication are the

following
1. Verbal- sounds, language, and tone of voice
 2. Aural- listening and hearing
3. Non verbal- facial expressions, body language and posture
4. Written - letters, memos, journals, emails, blogs, and text messages
5. Visual- signs, symbols, illustrations and pictures

 Tools in communication include all that we use in both communicating

with others and interpreting the information received from others. They
range from language in all its forms, from tone of voice, to performing,
reenacting, television, storytelling, telephone, cell phones, movie, radio,
photographs, cartoon, cyberspace, digital and social platforms and the
internet.(sampa, 2017)

SETTINGS IN COMMUNICATION

The following are different settings in communication cited by

Sampa(2017)

1. Government Setting

❖ The government deals with citizens and particularly deliver social and
public services that ensure peaceful and orderly living.
❖ The government communicates to inform the public about national plans,
public services, security situation, opportunities, and to give general
direction to people as a nation.
❖ For example, class and work suspensions during typhoons and storms in
the Philippines are posted through social networking sites and informed
through texts in addition to traditional radio and TV announcements.

2. PRIVATE SECTOR SETTING

The private sector refers to business community, the people who are
involved in the delivery of public services that include job creation and
employment provision but are not government. Essentially, this sector
exists for profit. For this broad description of their existence,
communication for them is largely advertisement to inform the public,
individuals, groups, and communities about available goods and services
for sale. On the other hand, they need information from the public to
understand the demand they have to supply. As the private sector
engages with the public, they want to remain relevant, profitable and
accepted. Therefore, the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR)
is important to foster the goal of maintaining a positive public
perception. (Sampa, 2017)

3. CIVIL SOCIETY SETTING

This sector of society sees itself as the “third force”. It comes to
 compliment government and business action.
It includes various groups of non-government organizations, charities,
foundations, people’s organization, and other pressure groups that exist
to advocate the causes of social justice on be half of the marginalized
sector, disenfranchised, minorities, and even on behalf of biodiversity.
They do not exist tomake profit or to serve as government butthey do
perform a number a number of functions that belong to the government.
In many cases, they also engage in business to raise funds needed to
respond to problems affecting the represented sector or issue.
Communication in the sense is defined by the mission and actions
chosen by the civil society. They can draw almost all forms of tools
available in communication. To highlight issues, they do produce
documentaries and even inspire movies. They are using new and social
media to bring their case to a wide audience possible and effectively.

4. SCHOOL SETTING

• Their participation in communication is to deliver educational goods to the

public and engage communities in agenda setting regarding educational
goals and means.
• Communication in school setting tends to very formal and academic.
However, the emergence of new media has transformed communication in
schools to include new forms of communities cuttings across school to
create communities of school they belong to.There is more exchange of
information and documents among students learn together and
accomplish given task without physical coming together.
• Schools can announce enrolment dates and students can enroll in their
chosen schools without even physically going to the campus.

5. COMMUNITY SETTING
• The community is where all sectors interact:
• Government, Civil Society and Business just all about individuals and
groups. In general, communication with communities has tended to favour
a one directional pattern of mass media.
• Sector of a community announce their offering to the wider community,
and government agencies would also inform communities in this fashion
regarding what they want the community to know.
• But their is also within community , individual –individual, group-group to
general environment communication. Various tools and method are
appropriately down to achieve community setting communication goals.
