1. Types of Communicative Strategy

2. Learning Objectives distinguish various types of communicative strategies; use acceptable, polite, and meaningful communicative strategies; engage in a communicative situation; explain the effects of a shift in communicative strategy.

3. Communicative strategy Means used to overcome various problems in communication which may arise from linguistic lapses or lack of understanding ( Mariani , 2010). Some communicative strategies include topic avoidance, message abandonment, paraphrasing, language switching, using gestures, or asking for assistance from other participant ( Dobao and Martinez, 2007). Strategies that we can used to start and maintain conversation.

4. Cohen (1990) states that strategies must be used to start and maintain a conversation. Nomination Restriction Turn-taking Topic Control Topic Shifting Repair Termination

5. 1. Nomination A speaker carries out nomination to collaboratively and productively establish a topic. You try to open a topic with people you are talking to. You can try the following strategy in establishing a topic: News inquiries and news announcements. Keep the conversation environment open for opinions.

6. 2. Restriction It refers to any limitation (what, when, how) you may have as a speaker (Heritage, 2013) You are given specific instructions that you must follow. In a courtroom, witness can only answer the lawyer’s question and vice versa. In a meeting, you are only allowed to speak when you will be asked to.

7. 3. Turn – taking It pertains to the process by which people decide who takes the conversational floor. The primary goal is to give all communicators a chance to speak. Keep your words relevant and reasonably short enough to express your views or feelings. Try to be polite even if you are trying to take the floor from another speaker. “What do you think?” You were saying something?”

8. 4. Topic Control Happens when the subject of the conversation is restricted by one of the communicators (Warren, 2006). Depends on the formality of the situation. Example: A teacher usually prescribes the topic which will be discussed but the students can still share their own idea.

9. 5. Topic Shifting It involves moving from one topic to another (Warren, 2006). It is where one part of a conversation ends and where another begins. Example: using “By the way…” “In addition to what you said,…” Which reminds me of…”

10. 6. Repair Repair refers to how speaker address the problems in speaking, listening, and comprehending that they may encounter in a conversation (Liddicoat, 2007). Repair is the self-righting mechanism in any social interaction ( Schegloff et al, 1997) Always seek to initiate the repair. The speaker may slow down until the word is understood or use more familiar words to be easily understood.

11. 7. Termination Refers to the conversational practices which are used to close a topic (Wong and Waring, 2010). The topic initiator takes responsibility to signal the end of the discussion as well. use concluding cues (sharing what you have learned from the conversation) share what you learned from the conversation

12. Identify the type of communicative strategy in each statement “Do you have anything to say?” “Sorry, I can’t talk to you right now. I’ll call you to discuss about that matter.” “Have you heard the latest achievement of our president?” “Please narrate to us what you have experience during that day.” Hey! How is life going on?”
