B. Directions: Enumerate the following. Write your answer on the
space provided.
1. Identify and differentiate the different communication modes in 100 words.
(Type rubric below)
4. There are three modes or ways of communication to express and this is the
interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational communication.
In the interpersonal mode they both have the same ability to evaluate and
respond through conversation. When conversing to others it is easy to change our facial
expression and gestures because we typically react from the information that we
received. This is the mode which measures us of how well speak in the language in a
natural way. Unlike to interpretive mode, this is a one-way communication that we need
to translate so that we can understand the target language in both written and spoken
form. While the presentational mode, the encoder is speaking to an audience or
presenting a presentation. With this mode, we allow to plan and rehearse what we want
to write or say unlike to the interpersonal mode is spontaneous and unrehearsed.
2. Give at least one scenario in each of the modes of communication explain in
100 words. (Rubric below)
One day there were two best friends who are laughing while talking. In this
scenario, the two best friends use the interpersonal mode of communication while
speaking because they are expressing their feelings by exchanging their facial
expressions and gestures in a natural way. These two best friends are not rehearsing
their words to say and their gestures because they are free to choose their reactions
based on the information that they have received from each other. Moreover, this mode
helps us to prepare in interacting with native speakers in natural ways.
For instance, there were two brothers who are watching a Japanese movie but
they do not understand the movie. Only the facial expressions and gestures they know
based of what they saw in the movie so they put an English subtitles on it so that they
can appreciate the flow of the Japanese movie of what is really the main idea of that
movie. In this scenario, they use the interpretive mode of communication because they
use a translation to guide them so that they can better understand the language.
Another example, the teacher is assigning Joy and Mae to make an oral
presentation tomorrow. Consequently, they are practicing on how they deliver the
information and they careful planning to write an oral presentation that engages the
5. audience and accomplishes their objectives. The next day, they presented their oral
presentation well and they delivered the information effectively to their classmates. In
this scenario, Joy and Mae are using presentational mode of communication because
they are able to rehearse and/or to record multiple times until they are satisfied with the
final presentation.

9. Write a three paragraph (with 5 sentences each paragraph essay) of the
importance of technology as an aid to communication amidst the global pandemic or the
“new normal”.
Nowadays, The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is profoundly affecting life
around the globe. Besides, technology plays a huge role with regards to communication
especially now in the new normal policies that face to face is forbidden because we
need to follow the government protocols like social distancing for our safety and so that
covid-19 virus does not spread easily. This time it is really difficult to move in this world
because of so many taboos due to the pandemic. Try to imagine a world without
technology and the pandemic continues to spread around the world! Isn’t it hard right?
Maybe, this is our end because without technology the scientists or doctors will not be
able to make a cure for covid-19 and we will also lose our communication with people
who are far away. Also, maybe the world will be in trouble due to lack of information
gather and people will no longer be aware of the events in our country and around the
world.
At this moment, we cannot deny that we are all having a hard time right now
because of the limited activities outside our home. But with the help of technology, we
continue to fight covid-19. Young people today continue to learn through virtual classes
because this is the only thing that can be done right now between student and to the
teacher, but other youths have not been able to study due to lack of technology and due
to the weak / no signal. Businessmen also rely on technology to advertise their business
through presentational mode of communication. Thus, technology is one of the most
important now because as of now our future is dependent in the world of technology to
stay connected with someone and to help us updated in the news around the world and
by updating the data about the virus so that we can be aware of the happenings in our
environment.
Most of our activities in personal interactions are converted using technology.
Without technology there is nothing we can do during the global pandemic. In using
technology as an aid to communication we must follow the rules and regulations. We
must use it in a good way to avoid abusement. Moreover, with the help of technology as
10. an aid to communication we will rise together from impoverishment and never lose hope
believe in yourself that we can heal as one.
