Outlines
π Introduction and Overview of the Topic
The speaker introduces the new topic, 'Understanding and Evaluating Multimodal Text,' and reflects on the previous lessons. They outline the learning objectives: identifying different communication modes, analyzing multimodal texts for factuality, understanding audience awareness, and exploring technological tools for effective communication. The speaker also engages the audience by asking about their experience with non-verbal communication, such as hand gestures and illustrations, and discusses personal preferences for text versus illustrated content.
π¨ Modes of Communication
The speaker dives deeper into the modes of communication, emphasizing that communication is not only vocal but also involves various processes like encoding and decoding messages. They introduce five modes of communication: reading, listening, writing, speaking, and viewing, explaining how each can be presented and how they contribute to the overall communication process. The speaker encourages reflection on receptive and productive skills, highlighting the five communication modes (linguistic, visual, oral, gestural, and spatial) that will be covered in more detail.
π€ Oral and Gestural Communication Modes
The focus shifts to explaining specific modes of communication, particularly the linguistic, visual, oral, and gestural modes. Linguistic mode includes written and spoken words, while visual mode involves images, colors, and design. The speaker gives examples like using emojis or graphic organizers. The oral mode is discussed next, emphasizing tone, intonation, and sound effects. Gestural mode refers to body language, facial expressions, and movement, illustrated through examples like theater performances. The speaker concludes with the spatial mode, which focuses on physical arrangement and the use of space in communication.
π£οΈ Evaluating Multimodal Texts
This section provides examples of multimodal texts, such as speeches by President Rodrigo Duterte and President Aquino, highlighting linguistic, oral, and gestural modes. The speaker explains how public speaking involves varied tones and gestures, while the inclusion of sign language for deaf audiences represents the gestural mode. Another example is given with the performance by Moira and Jason, where both oral (singing) and linguistic (displayed lyrics) modes are present. These examples demonstrate how different modes are used together in multimodal texts.
π§ Guide to Analyzing Multimodal Texts
The speaker introduces a framework for evaluating multimodal texts, encouraging the audience to identify the message, purpose, and target audience of a given text. They also discuss how different modes are used in combination and whether these modes are integrated effectively to convey the message. The speaker wraps up the lesson with a reminder of the upcoming exam and encourages students to review announcements and reach out with any questions.

Transcripts
hello everyone thank you for being with
me today so we will be having our new
topic so we're done already with the
last uh four topics which I mean last
three topics which are from lesson one
to Lesson Four and now we're on our last
lesson before our prelim exam by next
week
so for the last topic we will we have
understanding and evaluating multimodal
text we know that
um communication
doesn't just end by speaking and by
listening there is a lot of process
there's a lot of modes of doing so so
for this for this day we'll be learning
about that so let me proceed with the
objectives
so first for the learning objectives we
have to determine the different modes of
communication and that combining these
moves can enhance meaning of any
information or communication okay or the
messages itself number two we will be
having to analyze or we will have to
analyze an evil way multimodal text to
determine factuality of a certain piece
of information so let's identify
how a multi-model text can enhance the
clarity of an information how it becomes
factual or relevant to a certain
um
target audience okay which comes to our
third
learning objectives which is to adopt
awareness of your audience and contacts
when you communicate with others and
finally I want you to get familiar with
different technological and online tools
which can facilitate effective
communication so we will be tackling all
these objectives today all right so
let's proceed now
before
I
discussed the lesson proper
let me ask you this question have the
experience using hand using your using
hand gestures body language and
illustrations in explaining something
like what I am doing at the moment I'm
using a PowerPoint presentation which we
can consider it as an illustration
in giving you the topic or the lesson
and the knowledge that you have to learn
at the moment
so
if your answer is yes then
you are right we all do that sometimes
it's unconsciously okay
so let's proceed another question do you
prefer a reading passage with pictures
or illustrations or just purely text
because for me
um I used to read novels when I was in
high school first it it started with
um pocketbooks in Filipino language then
eventually I I get fond of I got I got
fond of reading novels which is already
in English language or English medium
[Music]
and with God it doesn't have any
pictures at all I thought it's going to
be hard but yes because of the
imagination and creativity the creative
thinking skills that it gives me
it it it it seems like I'm go I'm going
somewhere the the books is actually
moving me around the world so that's my
insight why I prefer pure text in
Reading okay
and how about you
you can answer
all right so let me proceed
okay the way we communicate with each
other involves different process we all
know that it's not just about being
vocal non
non-vocal way of communication there's a
lot of ways
okay first communicating the way the
sender delivers the message and then
after that the creating of meaning it's
where you decode the message that has
been sent to you that is already process
of interpreting the message so again
there's a lot of mode starting from
communicating
encoding the message
okay and now decoding the message
that's the that's the process but still
we have different modes of that and we
will learn about that now looking at the
circles with different colors reading
listening writing speaking and viewing
these are actually the different modes
why different modes are also different
ways that text can be presented it can
be through text where you can read it
can be through writing where you can
express your self it can be through
music where you can listen to beautiful
songs it can be through speaking where
you can voice out yourself like in
public speaking all right it can also be
through viewing where you see
uh different
movies
reactor lace
or even
posters all right
but it depends on how someone would like
to communicate a message to a reader or
listener all right but let me ask you
this let's have a quick recap on the
macro skills all right so first can you
give me the three
um types of receptive skills can you
give me the three type of receptive
skills all right that's right we have
the reading
listening and viewing very nice very
very good good job actually good job and
our next will be the productive skills
if we have the receptive skills we have
the productive skills and those are
writing and speaking nice
now
we're going to look at the modes of
communication they we have five actually
sorry five modes of communication we
have the linguistic oral Visual gestural
and special or spatial okay
first we have the linguistic mode it
includes written the spoken words words
word choice vocabulary grammar structure
and organization of sentences and
paragraphs these were linguistic falls
down okay so we can say that these are
the people who loves to read letters who
loves to read novels newspapers and
magazines
um really wants to tell a story you know
and then sing a song
have a conversation every day
um there are also instances where
people used to read the the
packages of a certain food or beverage
that they they buy okay
so when it comes to accepting or
decoding decoding messages we use
pre-stinguistic
these are the people who loves reading
when
um trying to communicate when you're
trying to communicate through linguistic
we can use daily conversation we can use
writing a story we can actually use
writing a poetry anything that uses
language or linguistic okay and symbols
like letters
the alphabet okay now let's move with
visual mood when we say visual mode it
this uses images videos color visual
layout design font size commenting
symbols graphic organizers
so these were the people these are the
mood where people who likes to send
emojis GAF
um who loves to take pictures
photographs
you uh who likes to watch TV shows or
films and and sometimes if you're going
to
put it in a decoding decoding or the
interpretation way of message
we can say that these are the people who
can actually understand
uh messages if a certain if a certain
text if as yes if a certain text is has
an included
drawings pictures
tables diagrams like the pictograph okay
pictograph okay now let's proceed with
another one we have the oral mode oral
modes pertains to the spoken words it's
more of the tone of your voice the way
the the high and low intonation
the sound the Music Volume pitch and
Rhythm speed of delivery pitch Zone
and then
and then ex um sorry I think I have okay
going back there
sorry
okay RL delivery Peach toned boys and
then sound effects so
we can say that these are the people who
loves listening to music
listening to different songs
um watching you
um
what do you call that Musical musical
play yes musical play or watching uh
public speaking like Ted talk because
they like listening to this those kind
of
um speakers the same thing
as with with how people to come how
people communicate through our knowledge
through public speaking that's where the
spoken words and the music and the tone
of voice are really
um getting together perfectly so people
will be it can be um people can be
persuade persuaded people can learn from
them okay
now let's proceed with gestural gestural
mode uses movement
speed and Stillness in facial expression
gestures body language so we usually do
this with our daily conversation we like
moving our hands
creating different facial expressions if
we're if we're if we're telling a story
about something that that is so sad we
actually frown our face and express that
this story is really sadding saddening
okay
um performing in theater
actually it's a very good example
because you know if you're a performer
or if you're watching a theater you can
see all the actors moving their bodies
doing a perfect way of
um portraying their characters through
body language
and number five the last part
sorry
it's it includes physical arrangement
when you say spatial mode or special it
focuses on the space
of your environment or the yeah yeah
um
the things that you are looking at like
the infographic the poster so if if a
certain people or particular people
people or individual
let me say a particular individual
um
wants to
read an information or watch a theater
and he he he is particular I mean that
individual is particular with spaces
that means he can actually that person
actually can easily learn through or or
interpret message through spatial mood
okay let's have an activity let us
observe analyze and compare and contrast
to given examples of multimodal text
okay before I proceed with that let me
just
um
highlight this one
when we say multi-model text because
mode is one but when you say multi-modal
text it is actually the combination of
those modes in just one message okay in
just one text in one just in just one
um situation okay
let's try this one
state of a Nation address
okay
so state of the nation address of
um
president Aquino
I'm sorry no I know Aquino and then
president
Rodrigo duterte
as you look at this diagram or this
picture what do you think
are the most that can be identified here
okay
so the modes that can be identified here
are
we have linguistic mood for spoken words
because especially the sauna is actually
a speech delivered by the president okay
it's like a report it's like delivering
a report of all the achievements
he did or the president did the entire
year
and next we have the oral mood
so here both presidents are
using different zones because you know
if you're doing public speaking you
don't just use modern tone to convey
your message you have to use different
tones and and
um
teachers okay each
in conveying your message and look at
that these two
this in front of them is a microphone
which delivers sound to the audience and
that's a device
to be to be heard by the viewers okay
and finally here
at the bottom here
you can see here
there's a man here doing
the sign language okay there's somebody
doing sign language and that's for the
deaf the worst and we can consider that
as gestural mode
okay let me proceed with the next
so we have this one
I know you already know Moira
so Moira and Jason here
Jason and Moira
why do I keep on eating my words
I'm sorry for that all right
um
do you have any idea
so okay
the answer for this one is we have oral
and linguistic moves so both these modes
are used here but in a different aspect
here in the first photo we can see that
Jason and Moira are playing the guitar
while singing their music their song
okay so that's one that's oral when you
hear music that's RL
and on the other hand we can see that
there's a
a lyrics
of the song on the side
a where moira's photo
is flashed okay so that's what you call
linguistic mode
for the written version because it
exhibits phrases and sentences okay
so let me proceed with the next
now let us identity
let us discuss the different guide
questions in evaluating a multi-modal
test
these are actually
first
if you're if you're level waiting a
multi-model text first you have to learn
or you have to know what really is the
message of that multi-model test it can
be an ad or commercial it can be a
poster it can be an infographic
it can be a table or anything okay or it
can be that theater and anything
number two you have to know what is the
purpose of the message
is there any
what can be the particular purpose what
does the sender wants to convey with the
audience
okay number three how is the message
conveyed by the text or the video
you um this question will guide you on
identifying what is really at the bottom
of the iceberg or the message if you're
going to look at the iceberg it only see
the
the tip okay
the surface but if you're going to look
at the bottom there's an indication that
there's really a diff a deeper meaning
into that message and that's what that's
how you should look you should be
looking at
okay
um number four who is the target
audience you should learn you should I
then determine also
to whom it is
um to whom the message
are
to whom Does the sender
wants to deliver the message to whom
okay is it is it the children is it the
parents is it the youth okay
and then number five what modes were
used in representing the message so
that's where you identify the different
modes it can be the it did you know that
it uh a one multi-model text like
theater can have actually
the five
multimodal text okay or the the five
modes of communication and finally do
you think it affects already for the
spelling do you think it effectively
integrates different moods in conveying
its message if yes then
there's that's where Clarity and
efficiency of message goes
okay
so that's it
for our lesson this
um this for this day I hope you learned
something
from
from this lesson and
please don't forget to
uh always check your Google classroom
for some announcement
um I think that's all and don't forget
we'll be having our relim exam by next
meeting September 11th okay
if you have any question
um don't hesitate to message me okay so
thank you so much and bye bye
