D. EXPLAIN It is true that communication have a
big role in our lives. To help us to
connect with other people, express
ourselves, and to build a good
relationship.
For today, our lesson is all about
Verbal and Non-Verbal
Communication.

COMMUNICATION is the process

of expressing and exchanging
information, thoughts, ideas, and
feelings.
According to Wood (2004),
(The class will listen to the
communication is a systematic
discussion)
process in which individuals interact
with and through symbols to create
and interpret meaning.
Communication is a process of
sharing and conveying messages or
information from one person to
another within and across channels,
contexts, media, and cultures
(McCornack, 2014).

Communication is a two-way number

one is Verbal communication is the
use of words to share information
with other people. It can therefore
include both spoken and written
communication. Including written
letters, memos, newsletters,
newspapers, journals and even
personal notes.

E. ELABORATE Before we move on to the

dimensions of communication, can
you tell me again what
communication is? Yes, Emi? Emi: Communication is the process of
exchanging information.
Well done, Emi!
Now, communication can be Verbal
and Non-Verbal.

VERBAL COMMUNICATION is the

use of words to share information. It
can be spoken and written.
Yes, Kristine? Can you give me
examples of verbal communication?
Kristine: This includes written
journal and newspaper.
Very good, Kristine!

We also have NON-VERBAL

COMMUNICATION.
Non-verbal communication includes
facial expressions, the tone and pitch
of the voice, gestures displayed
through body language (kinesics)
and the physical distance between
the communicators (proxemics).
For example, body language such
as facial expressions, posture and
gestures.
Eye Contact. Humans typically seek
information in the eyes.
Distance. Your distance from
people during communication.
Voice, Touch, Fashion, Behavior, and
Time. These non-verbal signals
which can give clues and additional
information and meaning over and
above spoken (verbal)
communication.
Evie: It is all about facial

language.

Nice one, Evie!

What are the examples? Yes, Ronna? Ronna: F acial expressions, posture and
gestures.
Very good, Ronna! What else, Carl?
Carl: Eye Contact, distance, Voice,
Touch, Fashion, Behavior, and Time.

you really understand our lesson.

Generalizations:
Again, based on our discussion, how
do you define Communication?
Yes, Robert?
Robert: Communication is the
process of expressing and
exchanging information, thoughts,
ideas, and feelings.

Excellent, Robert!
And what are the dimensions of
communication? Yes, Amanda? Amanda: Verbal and Non-Verbal
Communication.

Exactly, Amanda! How about the

difference of the two? Yes, Emelyn? Emelyn: Verbal Communication
includes words in sharing information
whereas Non-verbal communication
 includes facial expressions and
gestures.

Very good, Emelyn! What do you

think now class is the importance of
Verbal and Non-verbal
Communication in our lives?
Yes, Marvin?
