CONTEXT
There is never a day that you do not communicate. It
could be a group discussion, Facebook status update,
dinner conversation with someone you are interested in,
or small talk with a family member. In this case, it is
necessary for you to understand the concept of
speaking in a variety of communication situation and
the number of people you are communicating with.
Since you have already learned the various components
of communication in the previous modules, this time
you are going to look at speech context and find out
how to act appropriately in the different communication
situations.

In the previous lesson, you were able to determine the verbal and
non-verbal cues that the speaker uses in order to achieve his/her
purpose. You were given different activities that helped you to fully
understand the functions of communication (i.e. control, social
interaction, motivation, emotional expression and information
dissemination).
You have now realized that your ability to communicate affects your
relationship with the people around you. To further strengthen this
insight, the tasks in this module will let you discover the meaning and
types of speech context, and apply appropriate verbal and non-verbal
behavior in different speech situations.
Speech Context
Context when referring to speech communication is the
surroundings, circumstances, environment, background
or setting that determine, specify, or clarify the meaning
of an event. (LumenLearning.com/Elements of
Communication).
According to DeVito (2005), “Context refers to the setting

in which the communication takes place. Context helps
to establish meaning and can influence what is said and
how it is said.”
ACTIVITY
Directions. Read and carefully evaluate the statements written inside the circle, then select from the given
communication contexts what you think matches the phrase. Choose the letter of the correct answer.
A. Communication in
Public
B. Communication with
Self
C. Communication between
two persons
D. Mass Communication
E. Communication in a
small group
Speech Context is important because it
helps you communicate appropriately,
understand the meaning of any message
conveyed, and respond accordingly. In
order for you to have a clear grasp of what
Speech Context is, its types are discussed
below.
kto12LRM-CDCB
TYPES OF
SPEECH
CONTEXT
1. Intrapersonal
This refers to a type of communication that is focused

on one person, where the speaker acts both as the
sender and as the receiver of the message. The message
is made up of thoughts and feelings while the medium is
the brain that processes what you think and feel. (Hybels
& Weaver, 2012, p 16)
Examples:
• There is a voice within you that tells you, “It’s okay, you
can still do it! You can make it!” when you are losing your
drive to finish the task that you are doing.
• When you told yourself not to talk to your friends when

you have read in a Facebook post that they were in a
party and you were not invited.
2. Interpersonal
This refers to the type of communication that takes place

between and among people and creates a personal
relationship between and among them. Normally, it
includes two individuals, and it can vary from casual and
very personal to formal and impersonal.
Types of Interpersonal Communication
Dyad Communication – communication that happens between
two people.
Examples:
• You consoled your brother who was feeling down.
• A conversation between your father and mother

about the latest announcement of your Barangay
Chairman.
Types of Interpersonal Communication
Small Group– This applies to interactions involving at least three but not more
than twelve people engaged in face-to-face interactions to achieve the desired
goal. In this type of conversation, all participants can freely express their ideas
throughout the discussion.
Examples:
• You are having a discussion with your two brothers about the
surprise party you are planning for your Mom’s birthday.
• Kathlyn who came back from the United States called her three
brothers and four sisters and announced that she is getting
married.
3. Public
This type refers to a communication that enables you to
send or deliver a message before a crowd. The message
can be transmitted for informative or persuasive
purposes. "In public communication, unlike interpersonal
and small groups, the channels are more exaggerated.
The voice is louder and the gestures are more expansive
because the audience is larger” (Hybels & Weaver, 2012, p
19).
Examples:
• Delivering a graduation speech to your fellow

graduates.
• You were elected as the new SSG president of your

school and were given a chance to deliver a message of
gratitude to your fellow students.
4. Mass Communication
This refers to communication through television, radio,

newspapers, magazines, books, billboards, the internet,
and other types of media.
Examples:
• You are watching a televised briefing of IATF on COVID-

19.
• You have recorded a commentary for your school’s

Online Discussion of the pandemic and uploaded it in
your social media account.
VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL BEHAVIOR
IN A SPEECH CONTEXT
Different speech context whether it is
intrapersonal, interpersonal, public or mass
communication requires different
approaches. Though there might be some
occasional similarities, you should at least
know how to behave and respond to various
speech contexts appropriately.
When talking to your self

When talking to one person or a small
group of people
Consoling your friend who is feeling down, or simply talking with
your classmates about your plans for a group activity is an
example of a dyad and small group communication. This kind of
communication implies that the conversation is being shared and
there is exchange of ideas. Small group involves different skills
because unlike dyad, it consists of more than two people. In both
cases, you can be as natural as yourself, however, unlike a
running conversation in your head, you have to consider that
there are others who are equally important in the conversation.
Thus, to achieve successful communication in a dyad or small
group, you have to consider the following;
