Communication can take among people with or without

words. There are two types of communication: verbal


and non-verbal.

Verbal Communication
Verbal communication is the use of words in sharing
information with other people. It can include both
spoken and written communication. Spoken
communication is mostly face-to-face, but nowadays,
technology such as phone and internet allow people to
communicate with others without being at the same
place at the same time.
There are possible barriers to verbal communication
First, people themselves participating in the interaction can be the
barriers. They may have poor infirmities such as poor hearing or eyesight
and others stutter. People have different opinions and beliefs; they follow
cultural mores (values, customs, and behaviors that are accepted by a
particular group); or they adhere to society’s attitudes toward gender and
sexuality, business practices, and religious beliefs.

Second is Opinions and beliefs color our message or our


response. The participants, both speaker and listener
have opinions and beliefs that belong to a culture and a
gender.
Communicative Situation is another group of possible
barriers to communication. There may be “noise” in the
physical setting and in the participants themselves

Language Choice also leads to communication


breakdown. The linguistic differences among the
participants can be a barrier to communication.
Non-Verbal Communication
Transmitting messages without using words is called non-verbal
communication. It is conveyed as visual cues. Gestures, facial expressions,
giving flowers, choosing a color of what to wear, or putting a forefinger in
front of lips are just some examples of non-verbal communication.

Non-verbal communication includes the following:


1. Language of gestures

Gestures are the most often used type of non-verbal


communication. To be more understandable and interesting to
a listener, the speaker must accompany his/her speech with
gestures but one has to consider the culture of the receiver
because gestures have different meanings in other places.
Facial Expression
The face plays a very important role in communication. It expresses various
types of emotions or feelings such as joy, sorrow, anger, annoyance,
confusion, fear, hatred or surprise. Within the facial area, eyes are
especially effective for indicating attention and interest.
Language of colors
People choose colors based on the meaning of each. Colors
have certain meanings based on the dictates of culture and
gender.

Language of flowers
Flowers are also used to say what we cannot expressed
in words. These meanings are also influenced by culture
and gender.
Language of space
Language of space or proxemics is the use of space based on
importance. This type of non-verbal communication is similarly
used as chronemics by people who want to show who they are.

Language of touch
Language of touch also known as Haptics can also be used to
expressed what cannot be said. It is also one of the most
powerful of the types of non-verbal communication

Language of time
Language of time or chronemics is the use of time based on
position and power. In the Philippines, time is most often used
to convey how powerful a person is.
Posture and Body Orientation
Posture and body orientation are also a type of non-verbal
communication. How one stands or sits tells the people around
how one sees oneself as a speaker, how he/she sees the
listeners, and his attitude toward the message.
