Thus, there is a need to think first of the expected outcome or action to guide the sender in creating a message for the audience or the receiver. Types of communication Verbal communication includes the use of symbols that have universal meanings and can be classified as spoken or written. Nonverbal communication is an oversimplification to say that nonverbal communication is communication without words because written words are perceived as “verbal” but there is a lack of sound element attached to it. Classification of Verbal Communication Oral communication consists of all spoken exchanges. • • • • • • Questions Comments Casual conversations Voicemail Conference calls Speeches Written communications are printed messages. • • • • • • Memos Proposals E-mails Letters Training manuals Operating policies According to the National Commission on Writing, 67% of salaried employees in large foreign companies and professional state employees have some writing responsibility. Half of responding companies reported that they take writing into consideration when hiring employees, and 91% always take writing into account when hiring. Types of Verbal Communications 1. Emotive - pertains to word choice. Specific diction is used to evoke emotion in the reader. Word choice greatly affects how writing and speech are received. Different words can be used to cause different reactions in the audience. Any words that cause an emotional reaction are examples of emotive language. (writingexplained.org) 2. Evasive language is used when someone tries to avoid answering a question or is interrogated about a subject. By verbally sidestepping the issues and concerns of a problem, someone will have used evasive language that never directly addresses the questions (www.quora.com). 3. Jargons are special words or expression that are used by a particular profession or group and is difficult for others to understand (www.dictionary.com). 4. Argot is the jargon or slang of a particular group or class (www.dictionary.com). visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Captivating knowledge Through Education 5. Abstract language is the ability to gain meaning from things that are not said, or from things that are said in a different way. There are many ways to refer to "abstract language:" inferential/figurative/implicit/non-literal language all include the same higher-order thinking (abschools.org) 6. Overly abstract - The use of equivocal words, relative words, slang, jargon, and overly abstract language causes confusion and misunderstanding. ... Some euphemisms are pretentious and confusing, while equivocation can be interpreted as deliberately ambiguous (global.oup.com) Non-verbal behaviors/Elements of Non-verbal Communication 1. Vocalics/Paralanguage – refers to the use of volume, tone, pitch, and rate of speaking to give additional meaning or emphasis to what is spoken 2. Proxemics – refers to the use of space to convey an idea or image 3. Chronemics – is an attitude of time which discloses information with others about status and relationship with others. It is our self-concept. 4. Artifacts – refer to the things a person owns, uses, wears, and even discards convey message about such person. 5. Movement – is one’s posture, gesture, facial expression, and body language 6. Silence – conveys meanings to the spectators that can be seen in a person who is quiet yet busy, a person who is contemplating, grieving, not to be disturbed, or being in a difficult situation. In a conversation between two individuals, a silent reply may signify the receiver does not understand or may refuse to answer at all. 7. Touch – in some cultures is a symbol of affection but may not be allowed in certain communities. 8. Clothes and personal appearance – provide a quick personal surveillance of the person’s age, interest, personality, sex, attitude, social standing, or religious affiliation. 9. Symbols – are general graphical presentation so that people will be guided accordingly such as traffic signs, ACTIVITY 1 Read the sentences below and choose the following scenario that you can relate to. • When my mother ends her message with a smiley face, I know that she is not upset. But when she sends a message like “Go home” or “Uwi ka na” without a smiley face, I get worried that she might be angry.( Bluebook English, 2018) visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION • • Captivating knowledge Through Education When my classmate acknowledges my answer with an OK and have a happy face, I know that my message was accepted warmly. But if it is just OK, I wonder why if she understood what I said.(Bluebook English, 2018) Ending a response with an exclamation mark without a funny face emoticon might be misinterpreted as an angry tone; the funny face emoticon makes the message sound light and funny. For example, texting NO! Without funny face emoticon may sound like the sender is angry.(Bluebook English, 2018) Notice that all these types of support come from personal experiences and observations. It is somehow related to your daily life bases that may catch your attention to pause for a moment that you might conclude that how funny it is.

M1. Lecture Notes & Video Captivating knowledge Through Education No submission on Canvas is required for this PART 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKK7wGAYP6k&t=8s Definition of Language The world is shrinking rapidly today. Advances in information technology, scientific knowledge and applications have transformed a sprawling earth into a global village. People of various cultures and nationalities now meet, interact, trade, and socialize with ease on a daily basis. Making this possible is the use of a common language. What is Language? Language is purely human and non-instinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions and desires by means of voluntarily produced symbols (Sapir, 1921, as cited in Madrunio & Martin, 2018). It is a system of communication by sound, operating through the organs of speech, among members of a given community, and using vocal symbols possessing arbitrary conventional meaning (Pei, 1966, as cited in Madrunio & Martin, 2018). Language is the ability to produce and comprehend both spoken and written (and in the case of sign language, signed) words. Understanding how language works means reaching across many branches of psychology—everything from basic neurological functioning to high-level cognitive processing. Language shapes our social interactions and brings order to our lives. Complex language is one of the defining factors that make us human. Linguists agree that a language can only be called a language, if it has a system of rules (also known as grammar), a sound system (phonology) and a vocabulary (lexicon). These are the requirements for identifying a means of communication as a language, therefore it is an exclusively human condition. Other species definitely do communicate through movements and sounds, but they are definitely not in the same class as humans. When people use language, they can understand each other because they belong to the same speech community. They can interact to each other because in their speech community, people share the same set of rules in the language system. While growing up, people acquire the languages used by those in the community. This is the process of language acquisition, which is the process of building the ability to understand a language, using it to communicate with others. The language acquired growing up is known as first language (also called as mother tongue or native language). A first language is the language a person has learned from birth or within the critical period, or that a person speaks the best and so is often the basis for sociolinguistic identity. In some countries, the terms native language or mother tongue refer to the language of one's ethnic group rather than one's first language. Sometimes, there can be more than one mother tongue, those children are usually called bilingual. By contrast, a second language is a language that a person learns in addition to his or her first language. It may be learned in a formal or informal way, such as at school or in a family, and this active process is called language learning. People learn languages as they use them to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences and establish relationships with family members and friends. For example, a student may come to school speaking more than one language, or learn another language in school. In their early years, children develop language informally. Language development is continuous and recursive. Students enhance their language learning by using what they know in new and more complex contexts. Finally, language is a tool that enables people to communicate, express needs and wants, issue directives, create and produce through our own tongue. WHAT IS COMMUNICATION? The term communication comes from the Latin word “communicare” – which means to share something in common, to unite, to join, or to have things in common. It is a process by which people send messages or exchange ideas or thoughts with one another in a verbal or non-verbal manner. Speech Communication is a process of transmitting information, thought or feeling from one person to another through spoken words. Non-verbal Communication is receiving visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Captivating knowledge Through Education and transmitting information, thought or feeling without the use of words. Communication skills are important to everyone-they are how we give and receive information and convey our ideas and opinions with those around us. Communication comes in many forms: -verbal (sounds, language, and tone of voice) -aural (listening and hearing) -non-verbal (facial expressions, body language, and posture) -written (journals, emails, blogs, and text messages) -visual (signs, symbols, and pictures) ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATION The term communication process refers to the exchange of information (a message) between two or more people. For communication to succeed, both parties must be able to exchange information and understand each other. If the flow of information is blocked for some reason or the parties cannot make themselves understood, then communication fails. Sender The communication process begins with the sender, who is also called the communicator or source. The sender has some kind of information—a command, request, or idea —that he or she wants to share with others. In order for that message to be received, the sender must first encode the message in a form that can be understood and then transmit it. Receiver The person to whom a message is directed is called the receiver or the interpreter. In order to comprehend the information from the sender, the receiver must first be able to receive the sender's information and then decode or interpret it. Message The message or content is the information that the sender wants to relay to the receiver. It is relayed between the parties. Put all three together and you have the communication process as its most basic. Medium Also called the channel, the medium is the means by which a message is transmitted. Text messages, for example, are transmitted through the medium of cell phones. Feedback The communication process reaches its final point when the message has been successfully transmitted, received, and understood. The receiver, in turn, responds to the sender, indicating comprehension. Feedback may be direct, such as a written or verbal response, or it may take the form of an act or deed in response. Encoding It is the process of turning thoughts into communication. The encoder uses a ‘medium’ to send the message — a phone call, email, text message, face-to-face meeting, or other communication tool. The level of conscious thought that goes into encoding messages may vary. The encoder should also take into account any ‘noise’ that might interfere with his or her message, such as other messages, distractions, or influences. visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Captivating knowledge Through Education Decoding It is the process of turning communication into thoughts. For example, you may realize you’re hungry and encode the following message to send to your roommate: “I’m hungry. Do you want to get pizza tonight?” As your roommate receives the message, he or she decodes your communication and turns it back into thoughts to make meaning. COMMUNICATION PROCESS The communication process is best described through discussion of different communication models. In simple terms, model means a systematic description of a phenomenon or abstract process. The common models of communication that have been utilized over the years are as follows: 1. LINEAR MODEL Also called the transmission model, a linear model is based on the assumption that communication is transmitted in a straightforward manner- from a sender to a receiver. This clearly reflects that communication is a one-way process. a. ARISTOTLE’S COMMUNICATION MODEL This communication model represents communication as an orator to a large audience. The speaker plays an important role in communication. Aristotle emphasized that there are three variables in the communication process: speaker, speech, and audience as illustrated in the communication flow below: b. LASWELL’S COMMUNICATION MODEL This communication model was developed by communication theorist Harold D. Lasswell in 1948. This model was summed up and can be understood by answering the five questions: Who, Says what, In which channel, To whom, With what effect. c. SHANNON AND WEAVER’S MODEL Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver broadly defined communication as “all of the procedures by which one mind may affect another.” Their communication model consisted of an information source: the source’s message, a transmitter, and a signal; and a receiver: the receiver’s message, and a destination. This model is specially designed to improve the technical communication. Later it’s widely applied in the field of communication. Furthermore, there is also concept of noise included in the model, which goes through the channel and renders the message more difficult to understand by the receiver. visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION 2. Captivating knowledge Through Education INTERACTIVE MODEL This model is in contrast with the linear one, which considers communication flowing only in one direction, from a sender to a receiver (Gronbeck, 1999, Madrunio and Martin, 2018). In this model, communication is a two-way process, which involves an exchange or an interaction between the sender and the receiver. ACTIVITY 1 A. Examine the pictures below.

ENGAGEMENT: Read and analyze the following text. PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNICATION Effective communication is a connection between people that allows for the exchange of thoughts, feelings, and ideas, and leads to mutual understanding. This exchange is evidences when a speaker sends a message to which a listener responds. It seems simple, but it isn’t. People tend to take the communication process for granted. We generally figure that communication between two or more people is no big deal. It just works. However, the reality is very different- the process of communication is actually impressively complex. It is important that you learn the different principles which serve as guides in the practice and continuous improvement of your communication skills. visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION 1. 2. 3. Captivating knowledge Through Education Communication is transactional It is a two-way process which involves an exchange of thoughts and ideas. Every message consists of content and feeling. The content is what the message is about based on the words used. The feeling connected to the content is expressed through nonverbal cues—body language/gestures, facial expression, tone of voice/inflection, and voice volume. Whenever there are discrepancies between a message’s content and feeling, confusion is created for the listener—especially if the content and feeling seem to contradict each other. A classic example of this is when one person tells another “I’m not mad at you” (the content) in a loud angry voice (the tone of voice/feeling). Such a communication cannot help but results in a certain degree of confusion. Communication is inevitable It is impossible to not communicate. All actions—both intentional and unintentional—communicate certain messages. For example, deliberately ignoring someone is not “not communicating.” Quite the contrary (as you know if you’ve been on the receiving end), this action sends a strong message. Another is, when the moment you wake up, you already start communicating by merely thinking of how your day will look like. Communication is goal-oriented When you communicate, you have goals in mind. You do not just say something or write a message on a piece of paper for no reason at all. To persuade; to entertain; to inform; to express one’s feeling, ideas, or emotions; to build and maintain relationships; and to influence others are some of the purposes of communication. 4. Communication has various levels The various levels of communication are: a. Intrapersonal Communication- It is the knowledge of and communication with oneself (introspectionmental/symbolic processing of information without the benefit of getting the opinion of others). Focus – ways in which we process stimuli, our ability to make sense out of our experiences, to remember, to retrieve information from memory and to create messages. b. Interpersonal Communication- It is the interaction(speaking ang listening/ switching of roles) between two people or relatively small group. It determines our relationships with the who we are. 2 kinds of Interpersonal Communication: 1. Dyadic – communication between two individuals 2. Small group – interaction of three or more persons which permits the dialogical participation of each person. c. Extended Communication- It involves the use of electronic media. The description of extended communication may be expanded as to include television, audio, or phone conferencing; video-conferencing; Skype calls; other technological means. Language used may be formal or informal. d. Organizational Communication- A system of communication should be put in place. A set of rules or standards for communication protocol should be made clear so that interaction patterns are established. There are two types of organizational structure: 1. Formal Structure- It allows the communication to take place via designated channels of message flow between positions in the organization. Four (4) approaches a. downward communication - is the type that flows from upper to lower position. Examples: president to manager or supervisor a manager to an ordinary staff b. upward communication – is the type that flows from lower to upper position. Examples: subordinates to superior students to teacher visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Captivating knowledge Through Education c. horizontal communication- is lateral in approach as it takes place among people belonging to the same level but coming from different departments. d. crosswise communication- is diagonal in nature as employees from different units or departments working at various levels communicate to each other. 2. Informal Structure- It comes from unofficial channels of message flow. Also known as 'grapevine,' messages coming from different levels of organization are transmitted. This occurs due to dissatisfaction of some employees accompanied by uncertainty, such as superiors playing favorites and unfavorable or unacceptable company rules and regulations. 5. Communication is complex You may perceive communication as simply sending a text message, talking over the phone, or using hand gestures. However, communication is so complex that it entails a lot of processes which can occur simultaneously or successively. 6. Communication can be learned CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION (7Cs) Completeness Effective communications are complete, i.e., the receiver gets all the information he or she needs to process the message and take action. A complete message reduces the need for follow-up questions and smoothens the communication process. Conciseness Conciseness is about keeping your message to a point. This is more about the content of your message rather than its length. Even a short memo can include irrelevant or redundant information. Conciseness helps the receiver focus on what’s important, speeds up the processing of information and caters for improved understanding. Consideration Effective communication takes into account the receiver’s background and points of view. If your message hits a nerve or sounds as disrespectful, the emotional reaction of the receiver might affect the perception of your message. Also, tailoring your message to your audience – e.g., by using argumentations and examples which are relevant to their experience – makes it easier for them to process the contents. Concreteness A concrete message is specific, tangible, vivid. It’s supported by facts and figures for enhanced credibility. It helps your audience gain an overview of the broader picture. Concreteness mitigates the risk of misunderstanding, fosters trust and encourages constructive criticism. Courtesy Courtesy and consideration complement each other in effective communications. Courtesy means respecting the receiver’s culture, values and beliefs – i.e., crafting a message that is genuinely polite and unbiased. Clarity The clearer your message, the easier it gets for the receiver to decode it according to your original intent. While this sounds obvious, most communication pitfalls originate from lack of clarity. Want to deliver an effective message? Start with a clear communication goal and accurate thoughts. Clear communications build on exact terminology and concrete words, to reduce ambiguities and confusion in the communication process. visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Captivating knowledge Through Education Correctness Correct grammar and syntax vouch for increased effectiveness and credibility of your message. Formal errors might affect the clarity of your message, trigger ambiguity and raise doubts. They might also have a negative impact on the overall perception of the message, which could be seen as sloppy or negligent. 7. Communication is relational In any communication setting, aside from sharing meaning, the process how meaning is created also echoes two vital aspects of relationships of the communicators: immediacy and control. Immediacy is the degree of liking or attractiveness in a relationship and control, on the other hand, is the degree which one participant shows dominance or power. 8. Communication is guided by culture Culture maybe defined as system of knowledge shared by a relatively large group of people. The system includes shared beliefs, values, symbols and behaviors. How messages are created and processed is greatly influenced by the cultural background of communicators. ETHICS IN COMMUNICATION Communication is ethical when it is upfront, honest and cooperative. Communication that is intended to conceal the truth or harm another person cannot be described as ethical. While ethics are not the same as morals, there is a strong relationship between the two: morals are ideas of what is right and wrong, while ethics are behavioral principles influenced by moral beliefs. The ethics of communication are therefore strongly influenced by moral principles. Below are principles associated with the 7Cs and ethical communication. Some of which are the following (Madnelbaum,2019) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Be Honest and Truthful. Being honest means communicating what is known to be true – no more, no less. Ethical communication is based on accurate, factual information – in other words, do not lie whether the message is directed downward to employees, upward to management, laterally to other peers and departments, or externally. Honesty should also prevail when communicating goals, expectations, decisions, feedback, or judgments to employees. Refrain from Doing Harm. Whether communicating on a corporate or an individual level, the communication should make every effort to cause no harm. For instance, tobacco companies are required to communicate that the practice of consuming their products may lead to physical conditions like emphysema, lung cancer and other illnesses. A company who is aware of a danger and does not communicate it would be breaking this rule of ethical communication. Fairness to all Stakeholders. When communicating internally or externally, the organization should attempt to be fair to its employees, customers, and community. If a manager were to exert inappropriate control over employees, stockholders or customers, this would be a violation of this standard. Price fixing, bribery, and insider training are examples of behaviors and communications that are exerting unfairness to stakeholders. Be an Active Listener and Strive to Understand. Hearing and listening are two different things. In order for ethical communication to be effective, the recipient of the message should know that he (as the listener) and the speaker both have equal responsibilities in the communication process. The listener should not select the message that he wants to listen to or to hear only parts of the message. The recipient may ask questions for clarification to fully understand the message. While it is important to be a proactive listener, it is important for listeners to also strive to fully understand what is being said before responding. While asking for clarification or confirmation of a point is fine, many times questions that listeners pose have already been answered. Listeners should think about what has been said before constructing a reply. Reading “in between the lines” is also an important skill that allows for understanding what isn’t said or implied. Avoid a Negative Tone. Tone is critical to communication. There are people who are particular to paralanguage or tone of the voice. Ethical communication assumes that the speaker will avoid rudeness, be visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Captivating knowledge Through Education polite, professional, and tactful. The ethical communicator knows that it is not only important what you say, but how you say it. One’s voice is always picked up by the receiver, and can alter how the message is received and/or understood that can lead to unnecessary confrontations that decrease business productivity. Essentially, keeping the tone positive or neutral is best. It is possible to be completely honest and open with one’s thoughts and feelings while still remaining polite and respectful. 6. Do Not Interrupt Others. Allowing others to speak is important for civil, effective working environment. Interrupting others results in misunderstandings, conflicts and problems that hinder workforce and corporate progress. Interrupting others is not only disrespectful and unethical but does not allow listeners to fully understand the message that results in wrong assumptions and actions. 7. Refrain from Speaking Judgmentally and Strive to Understand. While it is important to be a proactive listener, it is important for listeners to also strive to fully understand what is being said before responding. While asking for clarification or confirmation of a point is fine, many times questions that listeners pose have already been answered. Listeners should think about what has been said before constructing a reply. Reading “in between the lines” is also an important skill that allows for understanding what isn’t said, but was implicitly said or implied. Conflicts usually result from unethical, judgmental, accusatory and overly critical comments that become catalysts for communication breakdowns. 8. Speak from Your Own Experience. Bringing your personal work experience or best work practices into a dialogue with business listeners is important, providing backup for your arguments with something more tangible that paints a complete picture for your audience and helps to prove your points for a better understanding of what is being discussed; however, manage your own personal boundaries: share only what you are comfortable sharing. 9. Avoid Speaking for Others. Characterizing what others have said without checking your understanding, or by universalizing your opinions, beliefs, values, and conclusions, assuming everyone shares them is unethical. 10. Consider Appropriate Communication Channel. You risk losing an audience if you use a communication channel that is not preferred by your intended receiver. To effectively communicate with your listeners, use the most preferred communication channel, whether that be face-to-face, email, conference call, phone call, messenger app, etc. Also, when presenting data to a business audience, be aware of the preferred method of presentation for that business, whether it be graphs, slides, PowerPoint presentations, etc. 11. Consideration for Any Potential Roadblocks. When communicating with another party, truly ethical communication entails considering any potential factor that may influence how the recipient understands the information that is being communicated. These factors or roadblocks maybe: a. Language Fluency, Language Use and Jargons. It takes into account the level of fluency as well as language spoken for messages or information to be fully understood. Use a common language that all involved communicators understand. Every field or industry has its own jargon. When speaking to a non-specialist, it is ethical to speak with simple, easyto-understand words, while avoiding the use of heavy jargon, resulting in portions of the presentation or communication being incomprehensible to an audience. b. Accessibility to Technology. In this information and digital age, some take accessibility to advanced technology for granted. For instance, while smartphones are readily available, and translation apps are abundant, not everyone is able to access such applications or platforms. If a business wanted to present certain information to an audience while expecting the audience to translate it into their native language via an application, there may be confusion. Thus, the ability to access certain technology - and the know-how on how to use certain applications - may be a roadblock when it comes to ethically communicating to a particular audience. c. Knowing One’s Audience: Being an effective communicator means knowing your audience in order to communicate in the way that he/she will understand the best. Know the language, profession, and others so that you can adjust your presentation or communication to audience. visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Captivating knowledge Through Education d. Choosing the Right Place/Time: Speaking about a particular topic in a business often requires choosing the most pertinent and appropriate time and place in order for the message to be most effective. This requires knowing the recipients along with utilizing strategy and planning. 12. Respect Privacy and Confidentiality. Most businesses have code of ethics defining what is appropriate when it comes to honoring client and employee confidentiality and privacy. This can have a wide range of implications, including minimizing workplace gossip and conversations about the private lives of clients and/or personnel. Moreover, REPUBLIC ACT NO. 10173 also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 has been passed to protect the fundamental human right of privacy, of communication while ensuring free flow of information to promote innovation and growth. The State recognizes the vital role of information and communications technology in nation-building and its inherent obligation to ensure that personal information in information and communications systems in the government and in the private sector are secured and protected (Republic of the Philippines, 2012). 13. Accept Responsibility and Accountability. Words do not only build but also destroy a person or an organization. A core element within the framework of ethical communication is being responsible and accountable to one’s words and actions whether it be good or bad. Owning one’s words reinforces the importance of being conscientious about ethical communication. Sadly, there’s no shortage of examples where organizations making unethical decisions and creating unethical communications as a result. ACTIVITY 1 A.

Well let’s know that the term communication has been in existence since time immemorial, while the globalization is new to us. Lets us all know what is globalization? visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Captivating knowledge Through Education According to https://www.globalization101.org, globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. Globalization is not really new. The globe has been globalized even before men coined the term globalization. For example, huge corporations have been buying and selling lands on great distant areas, such as the famed Silk Road across Central Asia that connected to China and Europe during Middle Ages. IMPACTS OF GLOBALIZATION TO COMMUNICATION: In an article entitled The Impact of Globalization on Communication Skills Development, David Ingram said that communication skills development has always been an important factor of success in business, but the influence of globalization and cross-cultural interaction in recent decades has impacted the types of communication skills needed in dramatic ways. No longer can entrepreneurs afford to simply communicate well within their own homogenous cultures. 1. Virtual Interactions. Globalization has introduced virtual communication and collaboration as a major part of academic and workplace dynamics. We need to understand the strengths and limitations of different communication media, and how to use each medium to maximum effect. ( https://cdn.essaywriting.expert) 2. Cultural Awareness Speech. The need for cultural awareness is a major impact of globalization on the required skillset of effective communicators, resulting in the evolution of the communication skills development programs. 3. Cultural Awareness in Body Language. Awareness of cultural differences in body language can be just as important as nuances of speech. This is why the schools, students are taught to understand acceptable speaking distances, conflict styles, eye contact, and posture in different cultures, accepting that the physical expressions of their own culture are not universally accepted. Students are also taught how to address these differences to prepare them face–to–face meetings with foreign suppliers, customers, or team members when they become professionals. 4. Time Differences. The advent of global collaboration introduces another new dynamic to communication skills the need to communicate and share information with people across several time zones. When people collaborate with others on the other side of the globe, their counterparts are usually at home asleep while they are themselves are at work. This is why schools teach students to address the nuances of overcoming this challenge by teaching them to understand the information needs of their colleagues, according to their communication styles of different countries or cultures. Being able to effectively share information between shifts can make or break the productivity of a geographically dispersed team, making this an important issue for many companies. This skill is particularly needed in call centers catering to clients from countries of different time zones. IMPACTS OF GLOBALIZATION ON GLOBAL COMMUNICATION According to Danev (2017), the process of globalization has widely increased the availability of information for people across the world. By the use of the Internet and advanced mobile services, people are able to discuss business plans and proposals on an international level as well as the exchange private data securely. Global communication services have also contributed to the enlightenment and development of the political process in a number of states. Danev (2017) also enumerates the three major impacts of globalization on global communication and identifies the major problem, as follows: 1. Availability of Information. The availability of information is a major effect of the process of globalization. The World Health Organization, in its works focused on the cultural dimensions of globalization, has expressed the view that with the spread of businesses delivering Internet, satellite TV and mobile services, the costs of such information technologies drop. The decreased price makes it easier for people across the world to make use of the World Wide Web and the resources available visit us at: www.facebook.com/College-of-Teacher-Education Republic of the Philippines Commission on Higher Education Region IV – A CALABARZON City of Lipa KOLEHIYO NG LUNGSOD NG LIPA COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Captivating knowledge Through Education 2. Business Conduct. Globalization has influenced global communication by implementing new techniques for business conduct among workers at international corporations. Long-distance travels are no longer necessary for business people should they require a meeting with a partner overseas. Internet technology makes it possible to exchange business information and conduct video conferences. 3. Social Awareness. The availability of information, which is a direct effect of the development of global communication systems, has led to increased social awareness of people across the world. Information technology and networks enable them to share opinions, views, work on projects and research in different areas. These are among the main reasons why the process of globalization is creating a sense of a global society. For example, through the use of communication, many students from developing countries enroll in university degrees in the developed world. 4. The Problem. Despite its quick spread and continuous development, global communication has not reached the majority of people on all continents. The World Health Organization indicates that at least 70% of all people in Africa will never make a single phone call or use the Internet. And this points out the need of more extensive application in communication technologies that has been a part of the globalization process.
