TYPES OF COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES
•Strategies help start and maintain a

•First strategy: Nomination.
CREATED BY IRA MONICA DAGPIN

family income).
•Topics like politics and religion (may cause
conflict).
CREATED BY IRA MONICA DAGPIN
2. RESTRICTION
•Restriction = limitations in
communication.
•Responses must stay within set
categories or instructions
CREATED BY IRA MONICA DAGPIN
2. RESTRICTION
Examples of Restriction:
•Teacher asks you to brainstorm on peer pressure or
deliver a speech on digital natives → you cannot
change the topic.

conversation.
•Ensures everyone has a chance to talk.

conversation.
CREATED BY IRA MONICA DAGPIN

CREATED BY IRA MONICA DAGPIN
