**Unit Title** Unit 1 World English' and Global Communication **Title of the Lesson Lesson 5 -**Types of Communication **Duration** 1.5 hrs **Introduction** Communication is a diverse and powerful activity that comes naturally as breathing. Communication is a compelling tool for exchanging messages, information, ideas, thoughts, feelings, and emotions through speech, signals, writing, or behavior. In communication, a sender encodes a message using a channel and sends it to the receiver, who decodes it and later processes information, ultimately becoming feedback. "Communication begins with listening" (Mehrabian, 2006). Being a good listener will help one grasp what the audience wants to hear from the speaker. There is a need for the message sender to make his communication for the audience receptive to the message shared. When both listen to each other, they are engaged in the best form of communication. Communication is collaborative and interactive. Both speaker and listener perform roles in the process and a reciprocal manner. Communication happens when information is shared between two people. At times, miscommunication has often been the cause of misunderstandings and conflicts. However, with the correct set of skills, a communicator can learn to communicate clearly and efficiently. Key communication components can help one communicate effectively with the audience (Wertheim, 2011). **Objectives/Competencies** As the lesson ends, the students are expected to: 1.

It involves thoughts, feelings, and the way one looks at her/himself. Intra-personal communication is centered on the self and comprises personal thoughts and feelings. In the process, the brain is the channel that enables the development of feedback. Intrapersonal communication occurs when people and the experiences one has determined how one talks to her/himself. If one had a good day, one would likely have a positive outlook. If a teacher were disappointed with the student's work or had a fight with a fellow student, one likely would focus more on one's depression or anger. Each can never look at self without being influenced by the relationships with others. **Interpersonal Communication** **Interpersonal** Communication happens in a formal setup and mainly occurs between two people, though it may include more than two. Interpersonal communication uses all the elements of the communication process and communication skills (2018). In a conversation between friends, for example, each brings his or her background and experience to the conversation. The talk is between the two parties, and messages consist of verbal and non-verbal symbols. Sight and sound are the most common channels used. Each has a better chance to give their response. There is less opportunity for psychological noise since there is physical evidence of whether each is disturbed. Those interacting will be able to notice if the message is understood and assess whether the discussion was practical. This type occurs in a familiar and usual setting, making the participants feel comfortable interacting with each other. **Small-Group Communication** **Small-group** communication occurs when few people meet. The members of this group take chances and turn to convey their ideas. Since a small group has a minimal number of participants, several senders-receivers are taking turns conversing, making the process more complex than with only two people. The ins and outs of the ideas in discussion have a pattern and are more structured. In addition, there are bigger chances of misunderstanding, but there is a great chance of getting more responses and better opportunities to solve problems. Small groups usually meet more formally than people involved in interpersonal communication. **Public Communication** Unlike interpersonal and small-group communication messages, the information sent in public communication and the sending process are highly structured. The speaker sends the message through a speech to an audience and then receives the message back when the listeners ask questions. The channels used are more complex since the audience is more than the interpersonal type. The voice is louder, and the gestures are wider because of the audience's size. Slides and flip charts, among other visual aids, are also needed. Public communication differs from interpersonal communication because verbal feedback in a wide audience is limited only when the listeners (audience) are allowed to ask questions at the end of the speech and not during the speech. In most public communication, the setting is formal. However, the speaker may get feedback with their nonverbal expressions during the speech. When they agree with the speaker's message, they may interrupt the speech with applause. On the contrary, they show disagreement by moving around a lot to call the speaker's attention. **Reflection/Learning Insights** **List down [ten] (10)statements made about the communication process** **Post-test** **Directions: Read the question on** each number.
