TYPES OF COMMUNICATION ACCORDING TO MODE, CONTEXT,

STRUCTURE,PURPOSE AND STYLE

Types of communication according to Mode

- A mode of communication describes the method through which a communication


takes place. Communication is an important aspect of human society and it is used in
some way during almost every form of social interaction. There are many different
ways to communicate, such as through speech, body language, facial expressions,
and other physical gestures and movements.

1. Verbal Communication

- Verbal communications occur when two or more individuals speak to each other,
whether it be formally or informally, face-to-face or virtually, or via telephone or video
chat. There are many important considerations to be made when expressing
communications verbally, which include the complexity of words, tone of voice, and
coexistence with non-verbal forms of communication that take place at the same time.
Writing can sometimes also be considered a form of verbal communication because it
requires the knowledge and use of speech, but written communications are often
grouped separately.

2. Non- Verbal Communication

- Non-verbal communications are equally as important as verbal communications, and


in many instances they occur at the same time, as well as existing independently during
other interactions. A few forms of non-verbal communications include body language,
facial expressions, eye contact, posture, appearance, sign language, and other
movements that assist in communicating when words are not the best option.

3. Visual Communication

- Visual communications are sometimes considered non-verbal, although many (such


as television) include both verbal and non-verbal interactions. practice of using visual
elements to communicate information or ideas. Types of visual communication include
animated GIFs, screenshots, videos, pie charts, infographics, and slide deck
presentations. Getting your message across in a clear, concise way can be difficult with
words alone.
Types of communication according to Context

-The context definition in communication refers to the factors that work together to
determine the meaning of a message. When conversations take place, context works to
interpret parts of the message. How people communicate changes according to
different factors, like who they are communicating with, where they are, and how they
are feeling. Context is important because it gives meaning to the communication. From
work settings to family life, most people participate in a lot of communication every day.
It is what tells the listener how urgent or important the message is. Without good context
the meaning of the message is miscommunicated, which means that no one involved in
the communication accomplished what they needed.

1. Intrapersonal Communication

- Intrapersonal communication can be defined as communication with one9s self, and


that may include self-talk, acts of imagination and visualization, and even recall and
memory (McLean, 2005). Intrapersonal communication is the way of communicating that
we do with our inner self. It takes place inside our heads, for instance solving any
complex problem in your head or thinking about what to have for dinner, or analyzing
your thought process or belief. Intrapersonal communication incorporates acts of
imagination, self-talk, visualization, recall, and other sorts of internal vocalization.

2. Interpersonal Communication

- Interpersonal communication is the process of exchange of information, ideas and


feelings between two or more people through verbal or non-verbal methods. It often
includes face-to-face exchange of information, in a form of voice, facial expressions,
body language and gestures. The level of one9s interpersonal communication skills is
measured through the effectiveness of transferring messages to others.

3. Extended Communication

- Extended communication involves the use of electronic media. With the use of
electronic media, messages are transmitted quickly. Unlike before when it only called
for the use of television and radio, nowadays, the description of extended
communication may be expanded as to include tele, audio or phone conferencing,
video-conferencing,skype calls, and other technological means.
4. Organizational Communication

- Organizational communication focuses on the role that communication plays in


organizational contexts. Organizations comprise individuals who work for the company.
For an organization to be successful, a system of communication should be put in
place. A set of rules or standards for communication protocol should be made clear so
that interaction patterns are established. On the part of the individual, you should be
equipped with the needed oral and written communication skills that the organization
expects you to possess.

channels of message flow between positions in the organization

superiors/bosses bearing their views/feedback on organizational policies, issues related
to their jobs and the like.

belonging to the same level but coming from different departments or units to facilitate
performance of tasks through proper coordination.

4.) Crosswise Communication - the approach is diagonal in nature as employee as


employees from different units or departments working at various levels communicate
with each other.

B. Informal Communication - comes from unofficial channels of message flow.


Also known as "grapevine" messages coming from the different levels of the
organization are transmitted.

- Intercultural communication is a communication between or among people having


different linguistic, religious, ethnic, social and professional backgrounds. Even gender
difference affects communication. Individuals having different orientations communicate
and interpret messages differently. This particularly happens with non-verbal
