LESSON 1.1

DEFINITION OF COMMUNICATION
* Communication is giving, receiving or exchanging ideas, information, signals or messages through
media, enabling individuals or groups to persuade, to seek information, to give information or to express
emotions. (Communicationtheory.org)
*Communication is a two-way process of reaching mutual understanding, in which participants not
only exchange (encode-decode) information, news, ideas, and feelings but also create and share meaning.
In general, it is a means of connecting people or places.
(www.businessdictionary.com/definition/communication.html)
*Communication is the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, signals’
writing or behavior. (www.the_freedictionary.com/communication)
*Communication is an act by which one person gives to or receives from personal information
about that person’s needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states. Communication may be
intentional or unintentional, may involve conventional or unconventional signals, may take linguistic or
nonlinguistic forms, and may occur through spoken or other modes. (Julia Scherba de Valenzuela, Ph. D.)

LESSON 1.2

TYPES OF COMMUNICATION

1. VERBAL COMMUNICATION - involves sounds, words, language, and speech. Verbal communication
makes the process of conveying thoughts easier and faster, and it remains the most successful form
of communication. Yet this makes up only seven percent of all human communication.
FOUR TYPES OF VERBAL COMMUNICATION
 INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION - Is very private and restricted to oneself. There are times
when a person has to converse with himself/herself silently when changing roles. The sender and
receiver is the same person.
 INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION - Is between two individuals just like in a one-on-one
conversation between friends or a Skype session with a friend who is in another place where you
can interact with one another. The sender and receiver are two distinct persons.
 SMALL GROUP COMMUNICATION - Occurs when there are three to five participants in the
communication process. It still allows each participant to interact or converse with each other.
Different people make the roles of the sender and receiver during the communication process.
 PUBLIC COMMUNICATION - involves fifteen or more people. Usually, there is a single sender, and
there are several receivers. Example are election campaigns and public speeches or even lectures in
a big class.

2. NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION - Which involves symbols, posture, gesture, facial expressions and eye
contact. Furthermore, creative and aesthetic nonverbal forms include music, dancing, and
sculpturing.

3. WRITTEN COMMUNICATION - Involves printed forms like letters, emails, reports, articles, and memos,
and other forms.

4. VISUAL COMMUNICATION - a form of communication that does not use words but instead involves
images, designs, icons, emoticons, topography, photography, signs, symbols, maps, colors, posters,
and banners, and other images. It allows communication to be understood faster.
