Speech act is a tool in engaging to a conversation. speech act is an utterance that a speaker makes to achieve an intended effect. It is how you express yourself to communicate your wants and needs, to achieve a desired goal. We are attuned in everyday conversation not primarily to the sentences we utter to one another, but to the speech acts that those utterances are used to perform such function. speech acts are giving opinion, offering an apology, greeting, request, complaint, invitation, compliment, or refusal. Engaging in a conversation is not just a simple process of talking and listening. Cohen (1990) states that it is bound by implicit rules that requires strategies to be able to start and maintain conversation. Nomination is usually employed at the beginning of interaction to set the purpose of conversation. avoid questions that are too personal : asking about how much money the person or his parents are earning, politics and religion should also be avoided

HOME SCHOOL

5. Describe your experiences in communicating with
other people by answering the questions below.
 How do you usually start a conversation?
 What are the problems that you had encountered
during a conversation and how did you address them?
 Have you experienced engaging in a conversation with
a topic that you are not comfortable with? How did
you manage it?

6. Read the story below and observe how the conversation takes
place.
“Table number 5,” I muttered looking at the invitation in
my hand. I looked around the exquisitely decorated hall
and finally found my seat. I greeted the other delegates
at the table with a smile and a little nod. I was so
nervous. It was my first time to attend that kind of event.
It was a seminar for senior high school, and I was the
representative of our school. I sat down, grabbed my
phone in my pocket, and started browsing my Facebook
like all the other 3 students at the table were doing
while waiting for the program to begin.

7. “Hey, have you heard that Maymay Entrata will host this event?”
All our attention went to her as she broke the silence. I noticed at
once how pretty she is with her long black hair draping her
shoulders. “Really? As in Maymay Entrata, the winner in the
reality TV show Pinoy Big Brother?” asked the boy in heavy
glasses. She nodded. “Besides being a reality show winner,
Maymay is also a singer, actress, composer, model, and writer.”
“Wow! Are you a fan? You know many things about her,” she
replied with a grin and amazement to what I said. “Well, I am a
fan too!” said the other boy in our group and we all laughed. “By
the way, I am Anne. I am from Batangas,” she finally introduced
herself. I was really waiting to know her name. Everyone in our
table started to introduce themselves, including me.

8. How would you describe the atmosphere before the
interaction among the group began?
 How did Anne begin the conversation? What was
the topic of the conversation?
 When did the shift in topic happen? What
expression was used to make the shift? What was
the next topic of the conversation?
 Describe the effect that the conversation gives to
the situation in the story.

9. Types of Communicative Strategy
1. Nomination - A speaker carries out nomination to
collaboratively and productively establish a topic.
You may start off with making inquiries, giving compliment, asking for opinion, or
offering help. This could efficiently signal the beginning of a new topic in the
conversation.
“Have you heard about “the new normal”?
“I saw your TikTok post on Facebook. It’s really great.”
“What can you say about our new plan for the project? Do you think it will work?”
You are the new student, right? Would you like me to tour you around the campus?

10. 2. Restriction refers to any limitation you may have as
a speaker.
> Limiting the topic or scope of discussion.
 You are invited to the police station to answer
some questions about what you know about the
accident.
 That arrest move was a disaster waiting to
happen. Do you agree?

11. 3. Turn-taking. It pertains to the process by which
people decide who takes the conversational floor.
A strategy that someone uses in order to smoothly
come in a certain situation/conversation. It requires
that a speaker speaks only when it is already his turn
during an interaction.
Spoken cues such as “What do you think?” or “You wanted to say
something?” provide others a chance to speak. Pausing is a
nonverbal cue that will do as well.

12. 4. Topic Control. Covers how procedural formality
or informality affects the development of topic in
conversations.
Expressions like “Okay, so much for that… “Let's go back to
the topic.” and “Going back to what we are talking
about…” can be used to keep the conversation within the
topic when there is a sudden shift.

13. 5. Topic Shifting involves moving from one topic
to another.
You may use conversational transitions that indicate
a shift like “By the way...”, “Before I forget...”,
“Which reminds me of,” and the like.
In a report presentation you may use expressions like
“Moving on to the next topic…”, “Now, let’s talk
about…”, “This time, let me tell you about…”

14. 6. Repair refers to how speakers address the problems
in speaking, listening, and comprehending that they
encounter in a conversation.
Speaker may use recasting or changing the form of message to a
more understandable one using the following expressions:
 “What I mean is….”
What I am trying to say is that…”
“Let me repeat myself.”
“Again…”
“I would like to reiterate that…”

15. Repair strategies also include requesting clarification or
making a clarifying question, request for repetition, and
request for definition, translation or explanation.
“I am sorry but what do you mean by “new normal?”
“Does it mean that we do not need to come to school if there
are no face-to-face classes?
“Can you please repeat the last part of the instructions?”
“Doc, can you please explain what a ferritin test is?”
Could you please clarify your state?

16. 7. Termination refers to the conversation participants’
close-initiating expressions that end a topic in a
conversation.
“It’s nice catching up with you. I must be going.”
Thanks for your time. See you around.
Regards to your wife. See you soon.”
