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, small talk with a
family member or even talking to
yourself . 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.
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.
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.”

Speech Context is important because it


helps you communicate appropriately,
understand correctly, and respond
accordingly.

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 and
creates personal relationship between
and among people. 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.
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.
