A. Sub Bagian

Media dan cara berkomunikasi dapat beragam baik secara lisan maupun tulis,
diantaranya adalah pesan singkat, pengumuman, dan pemberitahuan.

Pesan singkat berbentuk teks pendek yang dapat disampaikan melaui SMA
(short message service) maupun media sosial lainnya. Pesan singkat juga
dapat dikirmkan melalui email elektronik sebagai pengingat. Sebagai contoh
pesan singkat dapat berupa pengingat kepada teman bahwa ada PR yang harus
dikumpulkan ketika masuk kelas.

Pengumuman dapat berupa pengumuman lisan maupun pengumuman tulis.
Pengumuman lisan dapat kita temukan di sekolah ketika guru pramuka
misalnya mengingatkan siswa-siswa untuk latihan pramuka. Sedangkan
pengumuman lisan dapat berupa pengumuman yang disampaikan oleh kepala
sekolah mengenai akhir tahun pembelajaran atau awal tahun pembelajaran
dan hal ini dapat disampaikan melalui selebaran yang diberikan kepada orang
tua murid atau ditempel di papan pengumuman atau majalah dinding.

Pemberitahuan dapat juga dilakukan secara lisan maupun tulis. Misalnya
ketika anak-anak keluar istirahat dan ada tumpahan air atau air tergenang.
Agar anak-anak tidak terpeleset atau jatuh makan ada petugas yang
memberitahukan agar anak-anak tidak melewati lantai basah tersebut. Cara
lain adalah petugas menempatkan pemberitahuan bahwa lantai basah, atau
licin agar anak-anak dapat mengambil jalan lain.

Jadi banyak ragam atau cara dalm berkomunikasi atau menyampaikan pesan
baik itu secara lisan maupun tulis, seperti tersebut diatas, melalui pesan
singkat, pengumuman, dan pemberitahuan. Yang perlu ditekankan juga bahwa

57

dalam melakukan pesan singkat, pengumuman, dan pemberitahuan maka
individu atau orang yang dituju untuk berkomunikasi jelas, isi dari pesan jelas,
singkat dan dapat dimengerti.
Dalam pelajaran ini siswa dapat diajak untuk lebih peka dan mengasah
kemampuan berbahasanya dalam menyampaikan pesan yang dimaksud agar
lawan bicara atau orang lain dapat memahami dan mengikuti. Kemampuan
berkomunikasi akan membantu siswa untuk memiliki kehidupan sosial yang
lebih baik dan mengasah nuraninya agar dapat bersimpati dan berempati
terdahap situasi orang lain.
