VERBAL AND NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION

When messages or information are exchanged or


communicated through words, it is called verbal
communication. Verbal communication may be of two
types: written and oral communication.Verbal
communication takes place through face-to-face
conversations, group discussions, counseling, interview,
radio, television, calls, memos, letters, reports, notes, e-
mail, etc.
VERBAL AND NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION

 Nonverbal communication is a powerful arsenal in the face-


to-face communication encounters, expressed consciously in
the presence of others and perceived either consciously or
unconsciously. Much of nonverbal communication is
unintentional; people are not even aware that they are sending
messages. Nonverbal communication takes place through
gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, physical proximity,
touching etc.
