Audio communication has enhanced in recent times with the introduction of video which allows us to

simulate in person conversation when parties are not in the same location.

However, you can’t enjoy the benefits of life or audio communication mode

One way – single flow of information

Two-way -back and forth exchange of ideas

Collaborative- collaborative flow

Taking this step farther, communication can be also classified under three specific mode.

These modes are very important when it comes to language learning. An exposure or practice to these
three modes greatly improves your ability to learn and pick up new language.

Interpersonal- this mode of communication is a meaningful two-way communication because there is

an active exchange of information between the two individuals. Because it’s a two-way exchange,
interpersonal has a higher chance of success than the other two communication modes. It is also a very
spontaneous like the other modes. Interpersonal mode is most obvious during a conversation which
involves both speaking and listening but it can also be achieved through reading and writing such as the
exchange of messages.

Interpretive mode- one way receptive communication where the audience is not actively engage with
the send up but just receives the message. This form of communication involves listening, reading and
viewing. Eaxamples of interpretive communicatyion in listening, listening to the radio or a speech,
reading , reading stories, vlogs or science and viewing, watch television shows and movies but whats
common among these all examples is that these mode involves a message being sent out and the
audience must interpret, and that what the name’s come from.

Presentational mode- is also one-way, it is targeted communication that is directed to an audience such
a sreaders, listeners and viewers. But it’s a simply presentation of information and not an exchange.
There is no direct opportunity for the audience to engage with the presenter.

- Usually occurs when concept or idea I presented in order to inform or explain something or
sometimes even to persuade the audience. An example of this is a documentary in which facts
are presented or a brochure used to advertise the service.
