CONTENT

Instructions: For the discussion of the topic , proceed to your modular textbook , My Distance Learning Buddy , A
Modular Textbook for the 21st Century Learner , English Grade 7, pages 3 - 4 , Quarter 4. Read, find out , and
understand the variety of strategies for effective interpersonal communication .

As an additional explanation about the lesson, go to the box below. Read and understand the given
discussion about the topic.

Interpersonal communication is the process of exchanging information , ideas, and feelings between two or
more people through verbal or non-verbal methods.
Types of Interpersonal Communication
1. Oral Communication – is anything involving speaking, from the words that you choose to your tone of voice
when you say them. Oral communication is vital to your work and can even make you more likeable.
Examples: Public Speaking , Phone calls, Audio messages, Podcasts, Radio interviews, Meetings
Strategies:
Pay attention to Intonation
Intonation also known as pitch, means the rising and falling of your voice.
Omit or reduce verbal fillers.
Verbal fillers are vocalizations such as “um, “ “uh, “ “ you know” and “like.” They’re useful in that they help others
: know that you’ve got more to say and are just trying to find the words.
Example: uhhhh…I feel so glad when uhmmm…a student writes a thank you letter using the English language
before going back to his/her country.
Change your speaking rate depending on the situation.
Speech rate is how fast or slow you speak can have an effect on the person you talk with. Speaking fast is
persuasive. They believe on what you say. Speaking slowly, on the other hand, could be seen as more kind.
2. Written Communication – includes words and symbols (e.g., emojis and punctuations) that are typed or
marked with a pen, pencil or other writing instrument.
Examples: Email, Text messages, Reports, Proposals, Job descriptions , Performance evaluations, Grammar,
Powerpoints
 Strategies:
Enhance written messages with emojis and GIF’s.
Emojis can be helpful when you try to send the tone of your written message. It is informal but a nice way
of communicating. This is especially true during casual conversations, such as those between you and a
work friend chatting on Slack. Emojis and GIFs can add humor and emotions.
Know written communication’s limitations.
Editing emails to get our words just right can also make our communications clearer and more concise.
3. Nonverbal Communication- includes any communication that does not use words: hand gestures and
eye contact.
Examples: Video, Clothing, Voice pitch, Facial expressions, Body postures
Strategies:
Use that firm handshake.
An initial handshake can enhance the positive effects and reduce the negative effects of a social
interaction. Strategies:
Avoid slouching.
It is not only slouching bad for your back , but it could also make you feel less confident. Avoiding
slouching could be a simple way to communicate to yourself.
C. Expressing our emotions through facial expressions.
It is a difficult way of communication with others. We can say one thing with our words, but express
something different through our facial expressions. You agree about something verbally but your face
shows that you don’t like it.
4. Listening – is the most fundamental component of interpersonal communication. It is not something
that happens that is hearing. It is active process in which a conscious decision is made. To listen and
understand the messages of the speaker.
Strategies:
A. Use active listening
Successful applicants use active listening strategies and ask for clarification of a question they don’t
understand. Active listening to clarify the interviewer’s intention.
Example:” Does it mean I can working tomorrow?”
B. Practice empathy.
It makes you a better listener because instead of listening to correct or confront them, you’re listening to
understand them.
Example: “ I will do my best to work so hard. I promise you won’t ever regret it.”
C. Feel free to make the video chat a phone call instead.
Listening becomes particularly difficult when buffering video. If a poor connection is making it difficult to
listen during your video call, ask them if you can switch to a phone call instead during the interview.
Example: “ I am sorry I have unstable connection at the moment. Would you mind if I call your
recruitment number?”
