2. Intrapersonal
3. Extended/Mediated
4. Organization
5. Intercultural
c. Purpose
1. Formal
2. Informal

3. Give the elements and components of communication

- Source : The source imagines, creates, and sends the message. In a public speaking situation, the
source is the person giving the speech.
- Message : The message is the stimulus or meaning produced by the source for the receiver or
audience.
- Channel : The channel is the way in which a message or messages travel between source and
receiver
- Receiver : The receiver receives the message from the source, analyzing and interpreting the
message in ways both intended and unintended by the source.
- Feedback : When you respond to the source, intentionally or unintentionally, you are giving
feedback.
- Environment : The environment is the atmosphere, physical and psychological, where you send
and receive messages.
- Context : The context of the communication interaction involves the setting, scene, and
expectations of the individuals involved
 - Interference : Interference is anything that blocks or changes the source’s intended meaning of
the message
