a topic in a conversation.

19 vaccination has started in United
Kingdom.

10. Restriction

as a speaker. In communication, you are
restricted to follow instructions and you
have limited things you can say.

Discuss the Pythagorean Theorem.

11. Turn- taking
It refers to the process by which people
decide who takes the conversational
floor.

Anything to comment about his idea
about digital learning?

formality or informality affects the
development of topic in conversations.
Example:
You can only talk in a meeting if you are
recognized by the presider.

13. Topic Shifting
It involves moving from one topic to
another.
Example:
Speaker 1: I love Ben & Ben’s “Lifetime”
song. It is pleasing to the ears.
Speaker 2: I agree. By the way, IV of Spades
decided to have hiatus. I really miss their
music.
Speaker: Me too.

14. Repair
It refers to how speakers address the
problems in speaking, listening, and
comprehending that they may
encounter in a conversation.
Example:
I cannot understand what your
classmate is saying. Please mute your
microphone.

15. Termination
Termination refers to the conversation
participants’ close- initiating
expressions that end a topic in a
conversation.

I enjoyed talking with you. Maybe we
can continue our conversation
