TYPES OF COMMUNICATION

 VERBAL COMMUNICATION
 It refers to the the form of communication in which message is transmitted verbally; communication is done by
word of mouth and a piece of writing.
 Use a strong, confident speaking voice. Especially when presenting information to a few or a group of people, be
sure to use a strong voice so that everyone can easily hear you.
 Use active listening. The other side of using verbal communication is intently listening to others.
 Avoid filler words. It can be tempting, especially during a presentation, to use filler words.
 NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION
 Is the use of body language, gestures and facial expressions to convey information to others. It can be used
both intentionally and unintentionally.
 Notice how your emotions feel physically. Throughout the day, as you experience a range of emotions (anything
from energized, bored, happy, or frustrated), try to identify where you feel that emotion within your body.
 Be intentional about your nonverbal communications. Make an effort to display positive body language when
you feel alert, open and positive about your surroundings.
 Mimic nonverbal communications you find effective. If you find certain facial expressions or body language
beneficial to a certain setting, use it is a guide when improving your own nonverbal communications.

 WRITTEN
 Written communication is the act of writing, typing or printing symbols like letters and numbers to convey
information. It is helpful because it provides a record of information for reference.
 Strive for simplicity. Written communications should be as simple and clear as possible.
 Don’t rely on tone. Because you don’t have nuance of verbal and nonverbal communications, be careful when
you are trying to communicate a certain tone when writing.
 Take time to review your written communications. Setting time aside to re-read your emails, letters or memos
can help you identify mistakes or opportunities to say something differently.
 Keep a file of writing you find effective or enjoyable. If you receive a certain pamphlet, email or memo that you
find particularly helpful or interesting, save it for references when writing your own communications.
 VISUAL
 Is the act of using photographs, art, drawings, sketches, charts and graphs to convey information? Visual are
often used as an aid during presentations to provide helpful context alongside written and/or verbal
communication.
 Ask others before including visuals. If you are considering sharing a visual aid in your presentation or email,
consider asking others for feedback.
 Consider your audience. Be sure to include visuals that are easily understood by our audience.

TYPES OF VERBAL COMMUNICATION


 Interpersonal communication. This form of communication takes place between two individuals and is thus a
one-on-one conversations.
 Intrapersonal communication. This form of communication is extremely private and restricted to ourselves.
 Small Group Communication. This type of communication take place when there are more than two people
involved.
 Public communication. This type of communication takes place when one individual addresses a large gathering
of people.

TYPES OF NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION


1. Facial Expressions
 Facial expressions are responsible for a huge proportion of nonverbal communication.
 Consider how much information can be conveyed with a smile or a frown. The look on a person's face is often
the first thing we see, even before we hear what they have to say.
2. Gestures
 Deliberate movements and signals are an important way to communicate meaning without words. Common
gestures include waving, pointing, and using fingers to indicate numeric amounts. Other gestures are arbitrary
and related to culture.
3. Paralinguistic
 Paralinguistic refers to vocal communication that is separate from actual language. This includes factors such as
tone of voice, loudness, inflection, and pitch. Consider the powerful effect that tone of voice can have on the
meaning of a sentence. When said in a strong tone of voice, listeners might interpret approval and enthusiasm.
4. Body Language and Posture
 Posture and movement can also convey a great deal of information. Research on body language has grown
significantly since the 1970's, but popular media have focused on the over-interpretation of defensive postures,
arm-crossing, and leg-crossing, especially after publishing Julius Fast's book Body Language.
