1. Intrapersonal
 This refers to communication that centers
on one person where the speaker acts both
as the sender and the receiver of message.
 “The message is made up of your thoughts
and feelings. The channel is your brain,
which processes what you are thinking and
feeling. There is feedback in the sense that
as you talk to yourself, you discard certain
ideas and replaced them with others.”
(Hybels & Weaver, 2012,p.16)
2. Interpersonal
 This refers to communication between and among
people and establishes personal relationship
between and among them.
 Solomon and Theiss (2013) state that “ the inter
part of the word highlights how interpersonal
communication connects people…when you
engage in interpersonal communication, you and
another person become linked together…The
personal part means that your unique qualities as a
person matter during interpersonal
communication…”(p.5)
 Types of Interpersonal Context
 Dyad – communication that occurs
between two people.
Small group – refers to communication
that involves at least three but not more
than twelve people engaging in a face-to-
face interaction to achieve a desired
goal.
3. Public
 refers to communication that requires you to
deliver or send the message before or in front
of a group. The message can be driven by
informational or persuasive purposes.
 Unlike in interpersonal and small group, the

might use additional visual channels such as
slides or a Power Point presentation.
