Purposive Communication in the 21st
Century
When K to 12 (or K-12) Basic Education Program was finally signed into law, education in the Philippines became
revolutionary. As a Response, Commission on Higher Education (CHED) compelled all tertiary institutions to attune
their goals and ensure that you, as a student, are engaged in the 21st century learning paradigm which is geared
towards global standards. Purposive Communication in the 21st Century is about writing, speaking, and presenting to
different audiences and for various purposes (CMO, s. 2013). Further, it was prepared with the following objectives:
(1) to align the CHED mandate and materials to the 21st century literacies, i.e., Partnership in the 21st Century (p21)
Framework; (2) to ensure that the materials jibe with the established and current theories and principles in English;
and (3) to incorporate sociocognitive and transformative learning. In the CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 20,
series of 2013 spelled out as the Revised General Education Curriculum (GEC) for 2018, the core course title
Purposive Communication generally aims to develop your fundamental skills of communication such as listening,
speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing studied and simulated in advanced academic and other
multicultural settings. Purposive Communication in the 21st Century offers an array of activities that will help you
achieve this goal. The activities include listening, comprehending, critiquing, and responding to live or recorded
discussions, speaking publicity with confidence, explaining authentic passages or text in your own words aided by
illustrations in various forms, writing technical reports and academic papers, and preparing a presentation using
PowerPoint or any web-based platforms. This textbook also uses different instructional approaches and strategies
based on the principles of differentiation, spiral progression, process orientation, information, communication and
technology integration, collaboration, contextualization, reflective learning, and visual enhancement. All of these are
essential as you adapt to the demands expected from a 21st century learner (like you) who is described as multiskilled in different ways of learning; self-directed, that is, demonstrating leadership skills; a lifelong learner
himself/herself; flexible or adaptable to different circumstances including learning styles and needs; creative in
problem-solving; critical in thinking, passionate; and possesive of a high emotional quotient. Finally, Purposive
Communication in the 21st Century incorporates sociocognitive transformative model in English as a second
language pedagogy to ensure that 21st century multiliterate lifelong learning goal is achieved.
