2. Content:
a. Communication is a process of sharing and conveying messages or information
from one person to another within and across channels, contexts, media, and
cultures (McCornack, 2014). There is a wide variety of contexts and situations in
which communication can be manifested; it can be a face-to-face interaction, a
phone conversation, a group discussion, a meeting or interview, a letter
correspondence, a class recitation, and many others.
i. Nature of Communication: a. Communication is a process b.
Communication occurs between two or more people (the speaker and the
receiver). C. Communication can be expressed through writt en or spoken
words, actions (nonverbal), or both spoken words and nonverbal actions
at the same time.
ii. Elements of Communication: Communication is divided into elements
which help us better understand its mechanics or process. These
elements are the following: 1. Speaker 2. Message 3. Encoding 4.
Channel 5. Decoding 6. Receiver7. Feedback 8. Context 9. Barrier
b. Process of Communication: A. The speaker generates an idea. B. The speaker
encodes an idea or converts the idea into words or actions. C. The speaker
transmits or sends out a message. D. The receiver gets the message. E. The
receiver decodes or interprets the message based on the context. F. The
receiver sends or provides feedback.
c. Models of Communication: a. Shannon-Weaver Model: Known as the mother of
all communication models, the Shannon-Weaver model (1949) depicts
communication as a linear or one-way process consisting of five elements: a
source (producer of message); a transmitter (encoder of message into signals); a
channel (signals adapted for transmission); a receiver (decoder of message from
the signal); and a destination. B. Transaction Model: Unlike the
Shannon-Weaver Model, which is a one-way process, the Transaction Model is a
two way process with the inclusion of feedback as one element.
d. Functions of Communication: Basically, there are five functions of
communication. These are control, social interaction, motivation, emotional
expression, and information dissemination. A. Control B. Social InteractionC.
Motivation D. Emotional expression E. Information dissemination
e. Features of an Effective Communication: In their pioneer book Effective Public
Relations, Professors Broom, Cutlip, and Center (2012) list the 7 Cs of Effective
Communication. A. Completeness B. Conciseness C. Consideration D.
Concreteness E. Courtesy F. Clearness G. Correctness
f. Barriers to Communication: There are instances when miscommunication and
misunderstanding occur because of certain barriers. To become an effective
communicator, you should recognize these barriers that hinder the
communication process. This will enable you to control the situation, reset
conditions, and start anew. A. Emotional barriers b. Use of jargon c. Lack of
confidence d. Noisy environment
g. Verbal Communication and Nonverbal Communication: Verbal Communication
refers to an interaction in which words are used to relay a message. For effective
and successful verbal communication, use words to express ideas which can be
easily understood by the person you are talking to. A. Appropriateness TB.
Brevity C. Clarity D. Ethics E. Vividness
h. Nonverbal communication: refers to an interaction where behavior is used to
convey and represent meanings. All kinds of human responses that are not
expressed in words are classified as nonverbal communication.

ii. demonstrate effective intercultural communication skills in a speech
situation;
iii. develop appreciation for different cultural perspectives;
iv. practice effective intercultural communication;

vii. reflect on your learning about intercultural communication.
2. Content:
a. Definition and Nature of Intercultural Communication: Intercultural
communication happens when individuals interact, negotiate, and create
meanings while bringing in their varied cultural backgrounds (Ting-Toomey,
1999). When you speak, your speech is continuously accompanied by gestures,
facial expressions, and other body movements that add to what you are saying in
different ways. For example, nodding means “yes” in the Indian subcontinent,
Iran, most of Europe, Latin America, and North America. However, in Greece,
Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Turkey, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Albania, nodding
indicates disagreement. Moreover, in the case of Japanese culture, silence as a
form of communication is more integrated in their customs than in Western
languages. It is therefore important for you to acknowledge and understand the
many communication patterns present in other cultures.
b. The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity: The Developmental Model
of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) offers a structure that explores how people
experience cultural differences. According to Bennett and Bennett (2004), it has
six stages. These are the following: a. Stage 1: Denial. B. Stage 2: Defense. C.
Stage 3: Minimization. D. Stage 4: Acceptance. E. Stage 5: Adaptation. F. Stage
6: Integration. Once you understand these stages, you may apply it to 1)
recognize communication behaviors which differ from your own, 2) take into
account what can influence these types of behaviors, and 3) try to analyze how
linguistic and cultural communities differ in terms of communication behavior and
influencing factors (Allwood, 1985).
c. Characteristics of Competent Intercultural Communicators: World Bank (2010)
identifies the following traits that define a competent intercultural communicator.
A. flexibility and the ability to tolerate high levels of uncertainty B. reflectiveness
or mindfulness C. open-mindedness D. sensitivity E. adaptability F. ability to
engage in divergent thinking G. politeness
i. Note that in addition to culture, other elements such as gender, age,
social status, and religion must also be taken into consideration when
communicating with others. Refrain from showing bias when talking to
someone by following the tips below.
1. Avoid stereotypes, i.e., generalizations about a certain group.
2. Challenge gender norms; avoid using “he” and “man” to refer to a
general group of people. To remedy this, you may use plural
pronouns or rewrite a sentence to avoid using pronouns. The use
of his/her is also acceptable.
3. Do not talk down on younger people and the elderly.
4. Be sensitive to the religious practices of others.
5. Be polite at all times; do not belittle people you perceive to be on a
lower social class than you.

iv. Work collaboratively in groups to analyze dialogues or texts, identifying
and classifying speech acts.
v. Reflect on their own use of speech acts in daily communication and

2. Content:
a. Definition of Speech Acts
i. A speech act is an utterance that a speaker makes to achieve an
intended effect. Some of the functions which are carried out using speech
acts are offering an apology, greeting, request, complaint, invitation,
compliment, or refusal. A speech act might contain just one word or
several words or sentences. For example, “Thanks” and “Thank you for
always being there for me. I really appreciate it” both show appreciation
regardless of the length of the statement.
b. Three Types of Speech Act
i. According to J. L. Austin (1962), a philosopher of language and the
developer of the Speech Act Theory, there are three types of acts in every
utterance, given the right circumstances or context. These are: a.
Locutionary act is the actual act of uttering. b. Illocutionary act is the
social function of what is said. c. Perlocutionary act is the resulting act of
what is said. This effect is based on the particular context in which the
speech act was mentioned.
c. Performatives:
i. Verbs that execute the speech act that they intend to effect are called
performatives. A performative utterance said by the right person under the
right circumstances results in a change in the world. Note that certain
conditions have to be met when making a performative utterance.
d. Searle’s Classifications of Speech Act
i. As a response to Austin’s Speech Act Theory, John Searle (1976), a
professor from the University of California, Berkeley, classified
illocutionary acts into five distinct categories. a. Assertive – a type of
illocutionary act in which the speaker expresses belief about the truth of a
proposition. Some examples of an assertive act are suggesting, putting
forward, swearing, boasting, and concluding. b. Directive – a type of
illocutionary act in which the speaker tries to make the addressee perform
an action. Some examples of a directive act are asking, ordering,
requesting, inviting, advising, and begging. c. Commissive – a type of
illocutionary act which commits the speaker to doing something in the
future. Examples of a commissive act are promising, planning, vowing,
and betting. d. Expressive – a type of illocutionary act in which the
speaker expresses his/her feelings or emotional reactions. Some
examples of an expressive act are thanking, apologizing, welcoming, and
deploring. e. Declaration – a type of illocutionary act which brings a
change in the external situation. Simply put, declarations bring into
existence or cause the state of affairs which they refer to. Some examples
of declarations are blessing, firing, baptizing, bidding, passing a sentence,
and excommunicating.

2. CONTENT
a. Important Terms
i. Email: An email is a communication method that uses electronic devices
to deliver messages across computer networks. It refers to both the
delivery system and individual messages that are sent
ii. Etiquette: Etiquette refers to the accepted ways of communicating with
others in the workplace. Good communication etiquette includes behavior
and strategies that can help you relay information clearly while
maintaining positive relationships with your supervisors, colleagues and
clients.
iii. Email Etiquette: Email etiquette is a crucial set of principles for socially
and professionally acceptable email communication. It encompasses
language, structure, grammar, and tone, varying based on the recipient
and context, such as professional or personal emails.

b. Importance of Email Etiquette


i. Email etiquette helps communicate better and create a better relationship
with the recipient. Speaking in person versus communicating over email is
entirely different. One phrase in the wrong context could hurt your
communications or brand. That's why following proper etiquette while
writing emails is so important because it helps you convey your message
clearly. It also helps achieve the following:
1. Professionalism: Using proper email language, you and your
organization will convey a professional image.
2. Efficiency: It helps you improve your communication skills. Emails
which get to the point are much more effective than badly
conveyed emails.
3. Clarity of expression: Use appropriate tone to avoid being
misunderstood or misinterpreted.
4. Protection from liability: Awareness of email stakes will protect you
and your organization from costly lawsuits.

c. Structural Elements of an Email


i. Sender's Information: This includes details about the person or
organization extending the invitation, such as their name, title,
organization/company name (if applicable), address, phone number, and
email address.
ii. Recipient's Information: Contains the details of the individual or group
receiving the invitation, including their name, title (if applicable), address,
and any additional contact information.
iii. Subject: This is a summary or description of the content of the email.
iv. Greetings or Salutation: The greeting at the beginning of the letter,
addressing the recipient. It can be formal or informal depending on the
context and relationship with the recipient.
v. Body: The main content of the letter providing details about the event,
such as the purpose, date, time, venue, dress code (if applicable), RSVP
instructions, and any other pertinent information.
vi. Closing: The closing helps you end the letter politely and courteously. The
subscriptions change according to the type of letter you are writing. It can
be written as Yours faithfully, Yours lovingly, Yours sincerely, With love,
etc.
vii. Signature: The signature or the name of the writer should be written just
before the subscription.

d. Email Etiquette Rules to Follow


i. Use a professional email address: Create and use a formal email address
that people can remember. Your email address can be your first name or
a combination of your first and last name. You can also use one or two
numbers in your email address. Don't use weird names and symbols in
your email address.
ii. Write clear subject lines: People use subject lines to determine whether or
not to open an email. Subject lines should give context to the email copy
and shouldn't trick users into clicking them. Considering email etiquette,
use short and clear subject lines. Tell people what they can expect from
email, and never send an email without a subject line.
iii. Maintain a professional tone: More important than what you say is how
you say it. To follow email etiquette, keep your tone friendly and polite
when writing emails.
iv. Keep the copy clear and concise: When writing the copy of your email, it's
best to start with the core message first and then explain the context of
why you are sending the email. Avoid writing long emails with too many
paragraphs. Instead, you can use bullets to keep it concise and legible.
v. Mark recipients in the appropriate tags: The people who must take any
necessary action relating to email must be mentioned in the 'To' field. You
can put your assistant in the 'To' section when sending an email to ask
her to change your schedule. The BCC (blind carbon copy) field is where
you add recipients whose identities must remain hidden. The people who
are added to the BCC cannot be seen by the other email recipients.
vi. Read the copy twice before sending: It is one of the most overlooked
email etiquette rules. Sending email copies with grammar or spelling
errors can hurt your reputation. Read your email copy and subject line at
least twice before clicking on the 'Send' button.
vii. Be mindful with ‘Reply All’: We are all aware of how many emails we
receive each day. Using the 'Reply all' only when essential can help avoid
sending unnecessary emails to people. Use 'Reply all' only when all
people should be aware of the message.
viii. Don’t share controversial topics: If you get an email with offensive
language (racist, sexist, etc.), don't forward it to others because doing so
could harm your reputation.
ix. Don’t email confidential or private information: Your email remains on the
server even after you have deleted it from your account. So, it is
preferable to discuss sensitive material in person or over the phone rather
than by email.
x. Email signature etiquette: An email signature is the most overlooked part
of an email. Adding a professional email signature can help your audience
know about you and your business.
xi. Avoid excessive abbreviations: Refrain from using abbreviations in
business emails as it is considered poor email etiquette. Working
professionals don't have much time to read and respond to emails. So,
write direct words instead of using abbreviations that you only know.
xii. Always introduce first: Your recipient will not know you unless you
introduce yourself. Mention who you are, what you do, and why you are
reaching out.
xiii. Shorten or hyperlink the URL: Adding a complete URL to the email
content will look messy and affect readability. Instead, shorten your URLs
or use hyperlinks to make your emails look clean and easy to read.
xiv. Check your attachments: Missing email attachments and inserting large
files affect email etiquette and contribute to a bad user experience.
xv. Check your formatting: Accessibility is crucial to ensure email etiquette.
Make sure your email format is accessible to all users and email clients.
xvi. Avoid unfamiliar email abbreviations and words: Use clear and familiar
language in your emails. Avoid excessive or unfamiliar email
abbreviations.
