Directions: Based on your prior activity, why did you group the communicative situations in that way? Describe briefly the commonalities that you can find in each group by writing sentences in the boxes below. Your descriptions must correspond to the number on the semantic map.
To determine how to group the communicative situations, I analyzed their commonalities and identified the key factors that influenced their categorization. I considered factors such as the nature of the communication involved, the purpose or goal of the communication, the participants involved, and the context in which the communication takes place. By considering these factors, I could discern patterns and similarities among the communicative situations.
In group 1, the commonality among the situations is that they involve face-to-face interpersonal communication. These situations typically include direct interaction between individuals or small groups, aiming to exchange information, express opinions, or establish personal connections. Examples of communicative situations in this group could include casual conversations, job interviews, or social gatherings.
In group 2, the common feature is that the communication occurs in written form. Situations in this group involve written exchanges such as emails, letters, or text messages. The purpose of communication in this category is often to provide information, convey instructions, or establish professional relationships. Examples of communicative situations in this group could include business correspondence, academic emails, or written reports.
In group 3, the commonality lies in the use of digital platforms for communication. These situations involve various online channels such as social media platforms, messaging apps, or video conferencing tools. The goal of communication in this category is diverse, ranging from sharing updates, collaborating on work projects, or connecting with others virtually. Examples of communicative situations in this group could include social media interactions, online meetings, or multiplayer gaming chats.
By grouping the communicative situations based on these shared characteristics, I aimed to facilitate a better understanding of the different modes and contexts of communication. Identifying the commonalities allows for a more organized and structured approach to analyzing and studying communication in different settings.
