TYPES OF

COMMUNICATION
WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?
 Communication came from the Latin word
“communicare” which means to share, or to make
common (Weekly, 1967).
 It is the sharing of information between different
individuals. It includes the sharing of ideas, concepts,
imaginations, behaviors and written content. It is simply
defined as the transfer of information from one place to
another (Entrepreneur Handbook, 2019).
WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?
 Thus, communication is simply the exchanging
of our ideas, thoughts, views, opinions, and etc.
to others and making them understand what we
mean.
 Also, communication as a term takes on different
contexts which comes into play as people start to
communicate.
CONTEXT
Context – the circumstance or environment in which communication takes
place (Madrunio & Martin, 2018). Such circumstance may include the following:
a. Physical or Actual Setting – refers to the place of location where the
communication takes place. Examples: school, church, mall, house etc.
b. Value Positions of the speaker/listener – refers to the relationship
of the speaker to the listener and vice versa
c. Relevance or appropriateness of a message conveyed – the
message should be relevant and appropriate to both of the participants
(speaker/listener)
CONTEXT
These contexts can bring various impact to one’s
communication which results to people having different
views on communication types since they are also
governed by a particular circumstance. Therefore, it is
important to consider the interplay of factors surrounding
the communication contexts which may be physical,
cultural, social, and psychological in nature.

CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMMUNICATION

VERBAL
NONVERBAL
VERBAL
Verbal communication is the use of language to
transfer information through speaking or sign language.
It is one of the most common types, often used during
presentations, video conferences and phone calls,
meetings and one-on-one conversations. Verbal
communication is important because it is efficient. It can
be helpful to support verbal communication with both
nonverbal and written communication.
VERBAL
a. Use a strong, confident speaking voice.
 especially when presenting information to a
few or a group of people, be sure to use a
strong voice so that everyone can easily hear
you. Be confident when speaking so that your
ideas are clear and easy for others to
understand.
VERBAL
b. Use active listening.
 the other side of using verbal communication is
intently listening to and hearing others. Active
listening skills are key when conducting a
meeting, presentation or even when
participating in a one-on-one conversation.
Doing so will help you grow as a communicator.
ACTIVE LISTENING
SKILLS
Active listening is the ability to focus completely on a
speaker, understand their message, comprehend the
information and respond thoughtfully. Unlike passive
listening, which is the act of hearing a speaker without
retaining their message, this highly valued interpersonal
communication skill ensures you’re able to engage and
later recall specific details without needing information
repeated.
WHY IS ACTIVE
LISTENING IMPORTANT
IN THE WORKPLACE OR
SCHOOL?
NONVERBAL
Nonverbal communication is the use of body
language, gestures and facial expressions to
convey information to others. It can be used both
intentionally and unintentionally. For example,
you might smile unintentionally when you hear a
pleasing or enjoyable idea or piece of information.
NONVERBAL
Nonverbal communication is
helpful when trying to understand
others’ thoughts and feelings.

If they are displaying “closed” body language, such
