C. Presentation/Discussion
a. Introduction
 Communication is an exchange of information.
 Communication barriers are anything that comes in the way of
clearly sending or receiving a message.

(The teacher will show a concept map that shows the different types of
barriers of communication.)

a. Discussion of the Types of Barriers of Communication

Communication barriers can get in the path of effective communication in various
ways. Here are some of the most common communication barrier types you can come
across:
 Language barriers: one of the most noticeable communication barriers. When
people don't have a common language, they can't communicate properly. Even if
there is a common language between two people, sometimes the difference in
language understanding or even a regional accent could be a barrier to effective
communication.
 Psychological barriers: people can have psychological blocks or issues that
can negatively affect communication.
 Emotional barrier: people can have negative emotions or complicated relations
with someone else, which can negatively affect communication.
 Physiological barriers: when people have physical traits that make
communicating more complicated: such as if someone cannot articulate properly,
stutters, or has a throat disease.
 Physical barriers: the most visible communication barriers are, of course, the
physical ones. When people are physically separate from one another: if they are
in another room, are miles away, or have something obstructing their view.
 Perceptual barriers: this is about how people perceive the world; it's about their
own bias that distorts reality and the way they perceive communication.
 Cultural barriers: people coming from different cultures have different
perceptions, ideologies, and values. They often have less in common with
someone from another part of the world. Those differences can affect their
communication.
 Gender barriers: it has been proved that men and women tend to communicate
differently, which affects their communication and understanding.

 Technological barriers: although it might be easier to communicate with
someone on the other side of the planet, thanks to new technologies, it's not
easy for everyone, and people can struggle with them.
 Interpersonal barriers: related to the relationship you have with the person you
are communicating with. You cannot talk to your manager like your best friend or
child.

classroom, the activity was called “Pinoy
Henyo with Barriers”. The teacher will
divide the class into 5 groups and each
group will select two members that will be
participating in the activity, the rest of the
members will observe in the activity.
The teacher will read the instruction of the The students will participate and perform
activity: the activity.
 Each group will choose two (2)
members that will participate in the
activity.
 After choosing two participants
they will decide who is the “sender”
and the “receiver”.
 The sender will pull a paper from
the box with the different types of
barriers written in it and the barrier
that the sender picked he/she will
be using it give some clue to the
sender about the certain words.
 After that, the participants will be
sitting facing each other but 1
meters away from each other.
 Then, the teacher will show the
word to the sender, and the
receiver need to guess the answer
correctly, but the sender is only
allowed to give a clue that
connected to the word/phrase,
he/she is not allowed to say the
exact word.
 Each group has 1 minutes to
guess the 10 words and the group
with many correct guesses will
receive a reward.
 After the activity each group will
