Compared to the other grade levels, the Senior High School (SHS) pedagogy has a different perspective. The approaches and tactics used in teaching are at the entry point of higher education. To address this consideration, the Teaching Guide (TG) in Oral Communication in Context was created. Instead of viewing lessons as discrete concepts where each learning competency is taught independently, the teaching guide views lessons as one wide concept.

To guarantee meeting the curriculum criteria, the teaching guide closely adheres to the learning skills. Nonetheless, it includes lessons emphasizing functions of communication, specifically for the first quarter. Additionally, this content is designed to get SHS students ready for whichever career path they want to take after graduation, be it business, employment, or college.
