Why do you

think people
love to talk?
 For you
what is
Social
Interaction?
 Do you agree that
through Social
Interaction we can
be close with other
people? Why?
Social Interaction allows
people to be connected
with one another. A
family becomes close not
because they live in the
same roof but because
they interact with each
other.
Social Interaction is the most
familiar and the primary reason
why people communicate. This
is because people do love to talk
and love to talk to each other.
Conversation with another gives
the people involved pleasure
while passing time in an
entertaining way.
Social Interaction Function of
Communication is the most
obvious, the most often used,
and the most popular. Just think
of how many times people
interact with each other by
talking, conversing with them,
laughing with them, and just
enjoying each other’s company.
Verbal cues are the specific
words chosen and used. The
speaker and listener, when
using verbal cues should be
respectful of each other’s
culture as well as of their age,
gender, social status, and
religion. The words usually
used are informal terms and
casually delivered.
Nonverbal cues include hand
gestures, bodily action (including
posture), vocal tone
(paralanguage), and eye contact.
The speaker and listener when
exhibiting nonverbal cues should
be respectful of each other’s culture
as well as of their age, gender, social
status, and religion. The tone used
is friendly, even in teasing, and the
bodily action is relaxed.
 The third
function of
communication
is Motivation
 What is
persuasion?
Persuasion is used to
moved the listener away
from his/her own position
toward the speaker’s own
or the position where the
speaker wants the other
people to move.
Motivation this is when the
speaker’s purpose is to
persuade or try to
persuade another person
to change his/her
opinion, attitude, or
behavior.
Motivation as the third
function of
communication is the
most purposive. When
people communicate,
they always have a
purpose or reason.
Verbal Cues - more direct
and purposeful words are
chosen for both men and
women, although these
can be softened for
children and the elderly.
Nonverbal cues – strong
words are accompanied by
emphatic gestures and
forceful tone of voice. Direct
eye contact is necessary to
underscore the speaker’s
sincerity and conviction.
 What is the
importance
of giving
Information?
Information as the fourth
function of communication is
used when the speaker
wants to make others aware
of certain data, concepts,
and processes – knowledge
that may be useful to them.
What is your
idea about
Emotional
expression?
Emotional expression
If the speaker’s purpose is to
move another person to act.

listener’s feelings and
emotions to encourage
him/her to act in a particular
direction.
