Abstract

Stand-up comedy is an act in which a certain person performs to make people laugh with the intention of appealing to them. It illustrates various language and humor styles that are used by comedians in performing; these styles vary depending on the audience, place, and theme of the event and are unique to each performer. This study aims to provide information regarding the specific approach that Filipino stand-up comedians used during their performances and how effective it was for the delivery and reception of humor. This study employed a qualitative research design using interpretative phenomenological analysis as the specific approach with which it is concerned in exploring experiences in their own terms (Smith et al, 2009). The study also uses thematic analysis approach as proposed by Braune and Clarke which revealed two themes under language styles utilized by stand-up comedians (1) incorporating language based on the audience (2) use of colloquial words and phrases. Three themes under humor styles utilized by stand-up comedians are (1) audience-centric performance, (2) observational comedy, (3) improvisational comedy. Also, three themes underlie the effectiveness of using language and humor styles: (1) importance of building connections, (2) extensive influences of endeavoring to be funny and, (3) enhancing audience satisfaction.

In higher education curriculum, oral recitation is one of the frequent methods utilized in assessing the learnings accumulated by the students throughout the entire topic. Adam (2017) stated that oral recitation is a direct, teacher-centered approach in which the instructor asks succinct questions with a predetermined response in mind. Subsequently, it is unavoidable for students to become anxious when they are being asked to recite in front of the class. In this regard, students should identify their coping strategies and techniques on how they will effectively manage their anxiety of oral recitation. The study was conducted in qualitative approach utilizing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. A total of 26 participants who are first year college students were selected through the Purposive-convenience sampling method. Using thematic analysis, the findings indicated four reasons behind students' anxiety of oral recitation, namely; unpleasant past experiences, self-evaluation, fear of rejection, and lack of preparation and training. Also, based on thematic analysis, five underlying factors that are encountered by the students based on their provided reasons were emerged. The factors were: anxious of making mistakes, perfectionism, classroom set-up and environment, linguistic insecurity in English language, and cramming and procrastination. The participants in this research endeavor likewise disclosed their preparations before an oral recitation such as advance reading and crafting possible questions, reminding for having a sure oral recitation, and fulfilling physiological needs for a better performance. Coping techniques during oral recitation to ease their anxiety were also revealed by the participants such as exercising the importance of proper breathing and body gestures and avoiding intrusive thoughts.

Abstract

Effective communication between providers and patients is one of the most important factors for achieving better health outcomes in the delivery of healthcare and in order to achieve effective communication, the use of the right communication strategy is beneficial. In relation to this, Barangay Health Workers (BHW) are exposed to a lot of interpersonal communication between them and their constituents. With the lack of studies on BHW, it is important to understand the nature of their work by exploring the interpersonal communication strategies they use and how it helps them resolve healthcare miscommunication in their areas. This qualitative research was guided by interpretative phenomenological analysis in analyzing the experiences of BHW in terms of communication. The data was gathered from 18 BHWs using semi structured interviews. Based on thematic analysis, the following are the interpersonal communication strategies employed by BHWs’: interaction in a face-to-face context, usage of a particular language as means of communication, use of non-verbal communication, informing in an appropriate manner, use of electronic devices to transmit information, and observance of ethical communication. The participants also shared the contribution of these strategies towards overcoming miscommunication: helps in relaying information effectively which leads to better understanding of constituents, helps reduce conflict between the BHW and the constituents, and helps encourage constituents and change their perceptions.

Abstract

Peace and order in the community may give its citizens harmonious living conditions but achieving them requires the cooperation of every member of the community as well as the government's implementation of effective policies and programs. Without these, conflicts and disagreements among community members may arise for an array of reasons. These conflicts can lead to negative consequences such as decreased productivity, loss of trust, and even violence. Hence, it is important to understand the root causes of conflicts and implement effective conflict resolution strategies to promote harmony and cooperation within the community. However, communities either do not have the trained personnel needed to properly manage conflicts or lack the necessary knowledge themselves, such as the use of communication skills for resolving conflicts is a problem. Hence, the main purpose of this study is to explore the competence of barangay chairpersons in the Philippines in using oral communication skills to resolve conflicts within their communities. The study adapted the qualitative research design using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) as the specific method. A total of eight (8) participants (3 females and 5 males) via purposive-convenience sampling were catered. After the data gathering using a semi-structured interview, findings revealed that some have confidence in their competence, but others still need improvement. Furthermore, some participants were able to solve majority of the conflicts arises at their vicinities. On the other hand, the participants used a wide variety of skills that helped to effectively resolved conflicts in their barangay and communication skills were commonly used by them.

Abstract

The field of police examinations has made great strides shifting towards a more ethical and basic aspiration of amplifying the quality and volume of data from suspects, rather than the narrow focus on carrying a concession of guilt (Milne & Bull 1999). In recent studies, analysis of the inquiry-based practices of interviews with suspects and accused persons showed that appropriate practices are not being used often. (Snook et al, 2012). It revealed that most of the officers used counter- productive and risky questions that limited narrative responses from the youth offenders (Del Rosario & Ballesteros-Lintao,  2018). Using qualitative research through interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), this study aims to examine the attitudes employed and the preparations done before conducting an investigative interview. Nine transcripts of audio-recorded interviews from various investigative officers of Tacloban City police officers were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results yielded reveals that there are positive relations between the police officers’ attitudes and presentation in conducting investigative interviews. Participants who can build rapport and are equipped with necessary tools and information can generate reliable and more extensive information.

Abstract

Speaking in front of a crowd necessitates a great deal of courage and confidence in order to adequately explain and communicate your message to the audience. According to Inayah and Lisdawati (2017), students who struggle to speak in front of a large group of people frequently lack self-confidence. In regards, the researchers utilized a qualitative research approach, specifically Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, in conducting this study. The study seeks to determine how students perceive their confidence in spoken English, as well as the precise tactics they use for confidence reinforcement. A total of 22 second year English major students, using semi-structured interview, the current study investigates their perceptions and views about their self-confidence in terms of spoken English in a Philippine State University as well as what certain techniques and approaches do they employ for confidence reinforcement. The results showed that majority of them were viewing themselves as mediocre users of the said language and are still in the process of learning. They are still working with their fluency as well as expanding their vocabularies. The most dominant learning approach students employ is the traditional way which includes reading books, novels and other literary works. Future researchers may investigate the students' oral recitation approach preference and conventional learning mediums which were not included in the current study.

Abstract

Stenographers are essential figures in a country’s justice system; they are tagged as “silent superheroes” due to their demanding profession of creating official transcripts in legal proceedings by converting “spoken word to text” (Ridoloso, 2023). Stenographers' listening and transcribing accuracy is critical in assuring the dependability and fairness of court processes. Proficiency of the listener does not equate to having a stable listening comprehension all the time, they still encounter challenges in listening. A total of twelve (12) stenographers from different municipal and provincial trial courtrooms within Eastern Visayas were interviewed. Using qualitative research through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the present study examined the key factors that affect the listening and transcription performance of court stenographers, including how they manage these factors. Using thematic analysis, the participants identified the following key factors that affect their listening and transcription performance: linguistic and cognitive barriers, external and clarity barriers, and challenges in the legal context. The participants likewise revealed that they manage the following challenges through (1) effective courtroom communication and practices; (2) enhancing transcription accuracy with technology and collaboration; and (3) optimizing stenography practices in the legal field. By understanding and addressing these factors, stenographers can enhance their overall performance and contribute to a more effective and efficient justice system.
