, Preface
Oral Communication in Context for Senior High School is a response to the revolutionary
change in the country’s basic education system. Rich in strategies that hone effective
communication, this book is geared towards developing listening and speaking skills in any
situation.
Written specifically with a 21st century learner in mind, this book aims to guide students
to become multi-skilled in different methods of learning and be flexible under different
communication circumstances. Furthermore, it is geared towards honing their leadership
skills to help them become self-directed and creative in problem-solving. Ultimately, this
book aims to instill a lasting commitment to lifelong learning and critical thinking.
Oral Communication in Context for Senior High School meets all the competencies
outlined in the K to 12 curriculum and incorporates information and communication
technology throughout the text. Each lesson is packed with varied strategies and activities
which enhance 21st-century literacies. The book applies different instructional approaches
and strategies based on the principles of differentiation, spiral progression, process
orientation, collaboration, contextualization, reflective learning, and visual enhancement.
Furthermore, it is structured using a Socio-Cognitive Transformative Model in English as a
Second Language Pedagogy (Barrot, 2014, 2015) to ensure that lifelong learning is achieved.
