G.R.A.S.P.S Form of Performance Task

Goal: Your goal is to design and participate in a talk show where you will engage in a
meaningful discussion addressing an important real-life issue—“How can young
professionals effectively communicate in diverse workplaces?” You will need
to apply acceptable, polite, and culturally appropriate communicative strategies
throughout the discussion.
Role: You will take on the role of panelists or hosts for a virtual talk show, where you
will address communication strategies in real-life, multicultural settings. Each
panelist will represent a different ASEAN country and share insights on how to
communicate effectively across cultures.
Audience: The audience for your talk show will be young professionals and international
business leaders seeking advice on how to navigate communication in
multicultural and diverse workplaces.
Situation: The problem you're addressing is the challenge of communicating effectively in a
multicultural workplace where cultural differences in communication styles can
lead to misunderstandings. As a team, you will need to explore and demonstrate
strategies that can help overcome these challenges and create harmonious
professional relationships.
Product: The final product is a recorded or live talk show, where each panelist or host
shares culturally diverse perspectives, presents solutions to common workplace
 communication challenges, and engages in meaningful dialogue using polite and
acceptable communication strategies.
Standard: Informative – Does the talk show provide valuable insights into communication in a multicultural
setting?

Significance – Are the communicative strategies discussed important and impactful in a real-world
context?

Relevance – Are the examples and strategies relevant to the audience's needs and the situation
presented?

Organization – Is the talk show structured in a clear, logical, and engaging manner?

Narrative Form

international business leaders. Your objective is to address the communication challenges
faced in multicultural workplaces. Each participant will represent a different ASEAN country,
sharing their cultural perspectives and communication strategies.

As panelists or hosts of this talk show, you will role-play as young professionals offering
advice on how to communicate effectively in diverse settings. The situation you are tackling
is common in today's globalized work environment: misunderstandings arising from different
cultural communication styles. Your goal is to engage your audience in a meaningful, polite,
and respectful dialogue that provides solutions to these challenges.

The final product is a recorded or live talk show in which your team discusses and
demonstrates acceptable and polite communicative strategies that bridge cultural differences.
You will present real-world solutions to common communication issues that occur in diverse,
multicultural environments.
