WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?

 Communication is the act of


conveying meanings from one entity
or group to another through the use
of mutually understood sign,
symbols, and semiotic rules.
 Communication is simply the act of
transferring information from one
place, person or group to another.
 Communication is the process of
sending and receiving messages
through verbal and non-verbal
means, including speech or oral
communication
WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?

 Depending on what is being


considered, communication as term
takes on different contexts resulting
in people having different views on
communication types.
 Since communication is generally
defined as the exchange of thoughts,
ideas, concepts, and views between
and or among two or more people,
various contexts come into play.
WHAT IS CONTEXT?
 Context is the circumstance or
environment in which communication
takes place.
 The words that are used with a certain
word or phrase to explain its meaning.
 Such circumstance may include the
physical or actual setting, the value
positions of a speaker or listener, and
the relevance or appropriateness of a
message conveyed.
 It focuses on certain communication
processes or even groupings of people
that constitute a communication
situation.
WHAT IS CONTEXT?
 Different context can impact one’s
communication. Each communication
type is governed by a particular
circumstance.
 Thus, it is essential to pay attention to
the interplay of factors surrounding
the context of communication which
may be physical, cultural, social, and
psychological in nature.
 Communication may then be
classified according to:
o Communication mode
o Context
o Purpose and style
TYPES OF
COMMUNICATION
ACCORDING TO
MODE
VERBAL COMMUNICATION

 Verbal communication refers to the forms of


communication in which message is
transmitted verbally; communication is
done by word with the use of mouth and or
a piece of writing.
 When we talk to others, we assumes that
others understand what we are saying
because we know what we are saying. But
this is not the case, usually people bring
their own attitude, perception, emotions and
thoughts about the topic and hence creates
barrier in delivering the right meaning.
VERBAL COMMUNICATION

 So, in order to deliver the right


message, you must put your
self on the other side of the
table and think from your
receiver’s point of view. Would
he understand the message?
How would it sound on the
other side of the table?
VERBAL COMMUNICATION

 Verbal communication is
further divided into two:

oOral Communication
oWritten Communication
VERBAL
COMMUNICATION
Oral Communication
 In oral communication, spoken words
are used.
 It includes face-to-face conversations,
speech, telephonic conversation, video,
and radio.
 In oral communication, communication
is influenced by pitch, volume, speed,
and clarity of speaking.
VERBAL
COMMUNICATION
Written Communication
 In written communication, written signs or
symbols are used to communicate.
 A written message may be printed or
handwritten.
 In written communication, message can be
transmitted via email, letter, report, memo,
etc.
 Written communication is most common
form of communication being used in
business.
NON-VERBAL
COMMUNICATION
 Non-Verbal communication includes
gestures, facial expression, body
positions or languages.
 Non-Verbal communication is the
transmission of messages or signals
through a non-verbal platform such
as eye contact, facial expressions,
gestures, posture, and the distance
between two individuals.
VISUAL
COMMUNICATION
 When communication occurs
by means of any visual aids it is
known as visual
communication.
 Visual communication, on the
other hand, is the type of
communication that uses
visuals to convey information
and/or messages.
VISUAL
COMMUNICATION
 Some examples are signs, symbols,
imagery, maps, graphs, charts,
diagrams, pictograms, photos,
drawings or illustrations, and even
various forms of electronic
communication.
 Electronic communication symbols or
images are the emojis, emoticons, and
animation among others to convey the
writer’s emotions or clarity the intent
of the message sender.
Verbal and non-verbal codes should complement each
other. With visual communication, interpretation of signs
and symbols are crucial since people have different ways
of interpreting them. It is important to always
contextualize the symbols or signs received in order to
arrive at the correct interpretation.
TYPES OF
COMMUNICATION
ACCORDING TO
CONTEXT
INTRAPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION
 The Latin prefix intra- means within or
inside.
 Intrapersonal communication then means
talking to oneself.
 Some label it as self or inner talk, inner
monologue, or inner dialogue.
 Psychologists call it with other names such
as self-verbalization or self-statement.
 Self talk can be advantageous as it can
enable you to practice what you ought to
say in times when you lack the motivation
and confidence to speak.
INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION
 The Latin prefix inter- means between,
among, and together.
 An interactive exchange takes place as
interpersonal communication takes place.
 This may occur in dyad, or small groups,
also known as group communication.
 Interpersonal talks are meant for
maintaining social relationships,
transactional talks aims to accomplish or
resolve something at the end of the
conversation.
EXTENDED
COMMUNICATION
 Extended communication involves the use
of electronic media.
 Extended communication is public in
nature, speakers are expected to be prepared
when they speak, making their language
more formal.
 With the use of electronic media, messages
are transmitted quickly.
 With extended communication, your own
thinking, behavior, and attitude may be
influenced by other people, and you may be
persuaded to take views you hear.
ORGANIZATIONAL
COMMUNICATION
 Organizations comprise individuals
who work for the company.
 Organizational communication
indicates communication not only in
business but also in hospitals,
churches, government agencies,
military organizations, etc.
 It is the exchange of information,
ideas, and views within and outside
the organization.
In any organization, a system of
communication should be put in place.
Transmission of message and message flow
also play an important role in effective
organizational communication.
INTERCULTURAL
COMMUNICATION
 It is a communication between or
among people having different
linguistics, 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
communication.
People have different linguistics, religious, ethnic,
social, and professional backgrounds. It is then
necessary to pay attention to intercultural
communication to avoid miscommunication and/or
communication breakdown.
TYPES OF
COMMUNICATION

or in written.

delivered orally, the texts have been thought
out carefully and written well before they
are delivered.
 The main objectives of this type of
communication:
 to inform, to entertain and to persuade
INFORMAL
COMMUNICATION
 Informal communication certainly does
not employ formal language. It involves
personal and ordinary conversations
with friends, family members, or
acquaintances about anything under the
sun.
 The mode may be oral as in face-to-
face, ordinary or everyday talks and
phone calls, or written as in the case of
email, messages, personal notes, letters,

different uses depending on the situations. Both
types may be in oral or written mode.
