3. Abstraction
Before we proceed to the formal discussion,
What’s the reason why you communicate
with people? (Student will answer.)
We communicate to express ideas, for
interaction or to express our purpose.
Very good, that is one of the reasons why
we communicate. We often communicate
for several reasons or purposes, especially
the speaker.

Our topic for today is Functions of

Communication or simply the purpose of
communication.

There are five Functions of Communication.

These are Regulation/Control, Social
Interaction, Motivation, Emotional
Expression, and Information Dissemination.

Everyone please read the definition of

Regulation/Control. (Students will read and explain.)
1. Regulation/Control
To control or regulate is to
exercise restraint or direction
formally or informally.
In establishments, rules,
regulations, and policies are
formal rules and agreements,
while unspoken or unwritten
rules are informal.
Regulation/Control is about the speaker’s
purpose to control others by managing their
behavior. It is to direct others and insist on
his/her own agenda. This happens
particularly among family members,
acquaintances, and others. The words are
usually directives, orders, and requests
meant to regulate and control other
people’s behavior.

By giving concrete examples, when do we

regulate/control communication? Why is
regulation/control essential in
communication? (Students will answer.)
When our teacher tells the class to be
quiet, regulation/control is important to
show authority and order.
Very good.

Everyone please read the examples of

Regulation/Control. (Students will read the examples.)
Examples:
 School rules and policies on

5
 attendance, grading, and dress
codes are prescribed.
 Employees are urged to follow
authority hierarchies and some
formal guidelines.
 Parents are telling a child not to
misbehave.
 Doctors’ prescription

(Students will read and explain.)

Everyone please read the definition of 2. Social Interaction
Social Interaction. Communication allows
individuals to interact with
others. It is the most popular and
the primary reason why we
communicate. It is used to
produce social relationships;
develop bonds, intimacy, and
relations; express preferences,
desires, needs, wants,
decisions, goals, and strengths;
and to give and get information.

Since people love to talk and talk with

others, social interaction allows people to
connect with one another. We usually use
informal terms, and it is casually delivered.

By giving concrete examples, when do we

use social interaction in communication? (Students will answer.)
Why is social interaction essential in We use social interaction when talking
communication? to friends, classmates, neighbors, and
other people like vendors and
jeepney/tricycle drivers. It is crucial to
connect with others.

Very Good.
(Students will read the examples.)
Everyone please read the examples of Examples:
Social Interaction.  Marriage Proposal
“Will you marry me?”
 Invitation
“Would you like some coffee,
tea, or me?”

(Students will read and explain.)

3. Motivation
Communication motivates or
Everyone please read the definition of encourages people to live better.
Motivation. Motivation is the energy that
influences a person’s behavior in
different ways in pursuing a goal
or objective.

In Motivation, the speaker’s purpose is to

persuade or try to convince another person
to change his/her opinion, attitude, or

6
behavior because we have a goal to be
achieved or a motive that must be
accomplished.

By giving concrete examples, when do we

use motivation in communication? Why is
motivation essential in communication?
“Have you ever talked to a friend who is (Students will answer.)
brokenhearted or going through something We use motivation in delivering a
difficult and you feel the need to comfort speech. Motivation is important so that

what did you say?”
(Students will read the examples.)
Examples:
 The teacher updates his

Motivation. performance to encourage them
to do better.
 Convincing friends to go to the
mall after school to watch a
movie.
 Talk with the teacher to ask
him/her for more time to finish a
class project.
 Church youth group members
listen to a certain candidate in
the upcoming Church Council
elections.
 A customer convinces a vendor
to sell a bigger-sized mango for
the same price as a smaller one.

(Students will read and explain.)

4. Information Dissemination
Everyone please read the definition of Communication functions to
Information. convey information. This is the
most basic function of
communication.
Whether talking to friends or acquaintances,
convince or to motivate, it is usually
necessary to provide information. The
words must be carefully chosen depending
on the receivers of the information.
Communication provides data and
information for effectively completing tasks,
solving problems, and eliminating
uncertainty.

By giving concrete examples, when do we

use information in communication? Why is (Students will answer.)
information essential in communication? We use information when giving
announcements like how to lessen the
spread of COVID-19. Information is
essential because it provides facts and
data.

Everyone please read the examples of (Students will read the examples.)
Information. Examples:
 A Filipino scientist provides
information to a low-income
community on how to light up
their homes using a bottle filled

7
 with water and a teaspoon of
bleach.
 The school dentist tells a
kindergarten class how to brush
one’s teeth properly.

(Students will read and explain.)

Everyone please read the definition of 5. Emotional Expression
Emotional Expression. Communication facilitates
people’s expression of their
feelings and emotions.
The speaker appeals to the
listener’s feelings and emotions
and encourages him/her to act in
a particular direction.

In Emotional expression, the speaker’s

purpose is to move another person to action
by their own accord, more than
regulation/control and motivation.

By giving concrete examples, when do we

use emotional expression in (Students will answer.)
communication? Why is emotional We use emotional expression when we

Soho’s documentaries showcasing to
us, which is trying to help others.
Emotional expression is important so
that people will do an action
intentionally without other people’s
volition.

Everyone please read the examples of (Students will read the example.)
emotional Expression. Example:
 Receiving Messages that
include pictures of the
devastation brought about by a
typhoon such as Yolanda or
photos of children dying or
crying because of hunger, the
Receiver of the Message cannot
help but be moved to do
something: donate money,
clothes, food, and water, or even
volunteer to help build new
houses for the victims.
Remember that the functions of
communication may overlap depending on
the speaker’s context.

lesson? The different functions of

Very good, it seems like you really

communication depending on the
speaker’s purpose.

Let’s have a wrap-up. For today’s lesson,

we discussed the different functions of
communication, namely,

and directs people’s behavior; Social
Interaction that connects people;
Motivation that convinces and persuades
people to change their opinions and
beliefs; Information that gives data and
informs other; and Emotional Expression
that moves others to action in their own
will.

For today’s discussion, we were able to:

define each function of communication;
identify each function of communication;

communication in real-life situations. I
