Verbal communication is the communication in which we tranfer information through radio,telephone,face to face or by some other mean.
Non Verbal Communication:
In non verbal communication we transfer information by means of body language,gestures,how we dress up etc.
Written Communication: the information is transferred by means of letter,email,book,internet etc.
Visualization:
information is transferred by means of graph,charts,maps etc.
During communication sender and reciever are compulsory because when we want to transfer information then obviously there is someone to whom the information is transferred or shared. Positive body language is necessary ingredienr for the development of relationship with the listener or audience.
As our body language is important in communicating,our voice is also an important factor.When we communicate with one another then our voice should be audible to all,so that everyone can understand our saying.Moreover,we should use supporting material that should be related to our topic,we can include graphs,charts,so that people can understand our saying easily.
Verbal Communication Model:
Encoding the idea:
Encoding is putting your idea into a form in which the recepient can understand.This is congnitive process of converting ideas into symbols then into a message.This is known as encoding.
When you have played your part in encoding then after that it is upto the recepient to play his part to decode the message. We should use such words that a reciever can understand without any difficulty.
Encoder takes special effort in encoding the idea. It is necessary to note that the words,tone and actions that we choose to encode our idea represents some specific content meaning.We should choose words with grea...

When we think of communication, we tend to think of speech, but there is a lot more to it than verbal communication. Gesturing, tone of voice and facial expressions are all parts of communication that are not verbal. We may not even always realize how much of communication is non-verbal, because we normally don’t think about it that way. However, it would be nearly impossible to communicate without non-verbal communication.
...ng their cultural customs however communicating with the families and students takes me into their homes where they feel comfortable talking to me. Communicating in different settings can be a challenge which has to be met if a constructive and comfortable meeting is to take place. Finally communication between parties must be clear so the information given and received is understood and correct.
When people talk to each other for the purpose to exchange information each person is using verbal and
Adler explains that, “Sometimes we respond mindlessly to information that deserves and even demands our mindful attention” (198). Although it’s impractical to pay full attention to something you’ve heard multiple times before, I’ve learned that tuning out to these remarks can make you miss an important message. For instance, at work I have a manager who likes to constantly check up on everyone to see what they’re working on, and to make sure they know what needs to be done. Because of the countless times he will repeat to me what projects I need to finish, I tend to tune out when he’s talking and quickly respond with words like, “yep got it” and “okay.” However, because of this I once missed an important task that needed to be done before I moved on to something else.
Verbal communication is when a sender communicates by speaking. However there are some pros and cons towards using verbal communication. For example, when someone uses verbal communications they can understand what message they are trying to send without any explanation however, some people have different ways of saying things especially people from different cultures because they have different accents and dialects.
According to listening expert and researcher Dr. Ralph Nichols "The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them”. Listening as Nichols points out is both necessary and an integral aspect of the communication process and is one of the most important skills one can acquire. Although critically important in everyday and professional affairs the specific skill of effectively listening unfortunately is lacking in most people. The ability to listen effectively significantly impacts all relationships be it professional, personal or social. The prevailing issue with effective listening however is two-fold, in not truly understanding the meaning of listening and not possessing the tools required to be an effective listener.
Good communication is an essentialvalue for successful relationships, whether personal or professional. Many researchers have stated that most of our communication is non-verbal. Non-verbal communication includes body language, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture, and the tone of our voice. The ability to understand and use non-verbal communication is great skills that will help individualsconnect with others, when trying express feelings, handlingdifficultsituations and creating relationships with other in various places.Non-verbal communication is the body way of sending messages between people. These messages can be sent through emotions, gestures, engagement, voice tone, posture, and clothing.
One of the biggest challenges we are faced with on a daily basis is our inability to listen. With our overwhelming and demanding lives, staying focused on just one thing or even one conversation has proven difficult. The world is a chaotic and boisterous place; it’s no wonder our minds tend to wander off on so many occasions. This, regrettably, can cause an oversight on critical information, whether at work or social lives. The key to overcome this obstacle is to simply pay attention.
Verbal communication is spoken while non-verbal communication has many forms. Nonverbal communication is different from verbal communication because verbal is voiced language, using many underlying contexts; while the nonverbal is presented using kinetics, holistic means, proxemics, as well as chronemics. It’s easy to assume that the only differences between the two are one being voiced, and the other not, but by explaining what verbal communication is, and what nonverbal communication is, it will help you understand that this is not the case, and show you what the key differences are.
The process of decoding begins as soon as our mind captures the message. Decoding takes place as a conscious exercise. If the sender has been careful, decoding will be an easy task for the receiver. The message received is considered useful or useless. Filtering begins here; receiver retains to that part of message which makes sense to him and discard the rest.
As we all know the world can throw us some curves and change the course one may expect in their life. Listening to what others are saying is to help them in some way or another. As a counselor my goal is to apply myself as an effective listener because it’s required and if my listening skills are not up to par, then there is no reason to be in that field profession. There was a time when a friend was relying on me to listen to a problem she was having in her marriage, instead of listening my reaction was “you need a marriage counselor” she then became disappointed because my focus wasn’t on what she was saying instead my focus was on what she didn’t say and only then was my response would have been given. This to me was a mental distraction because the focus was on what my reply would have been instead of what she was actually saying to me. Listening mindfully requires us to be completely aware of what is being said and why, it is here we an understanding can be made clear (Hall D. 2017). A person who is sharing openness is most always appreciated and valued over closed mindedness in both face to face communication and online (Joseph A. DeVito 2012). Over the course of my own life there have been many occasions where effective listening was required, academically, emotionally, mentally and on a support level of
Communication is an important aspect of processing and transferring information in our society. The important entities needed for a successful communication includes; a sender, receiver, message and feedback. First, the sender is a person or entity that is sending information to the receiver. After receiving the message, the receiver will attempt to decode the message and prepares a proper response (feedback). Communication is an essential part of our daily interactions; it can be seen used in businesses, for pleasure, sports, education and many more activities.
Let’s explore why listening is so critical. “Adam listened to Eve. In that first spoken word message and all since, no communication occurred until there was a listener. It follows, then, that there has become a much-heightened need to listen. We must understand the fundamental relationship involved, we cannot escape it” (Mills 1). The characteristics of good listening skills can be best understood by using the acronym MASTER. The “m” refers to mental. Mental is the ability to slow down and strategically control our ability to listen. “A” refers to active. Being active utilizes constructive listening responses and constant practice can keep this sharp. The “s” refers to sustaining attention. Experienced concentration is crucial for sustaining attention. “T” refers to target. There are four types of potential listening targets; responsive listening, implicative listening, critical listening and nondirective listening. Responsive listening is the agreement between listener and speaker. Implicative listening involves carefully understanding what is implied by hearing what is said. Critical listening is the process of coming to the point of a subject by clearing away all the non-important information. Nondirective listening is fully hearing the speaker out. The “e” refers to eliminating t...
One of the main aspects in communicating is listening. An effective listener is one who, not only comprehends how the speaker feels but, also understands what they are stating. Building a strong connection between the speaker and the listener is one of the first steps to become a good listener. By building this connection speakers should first be in an environment with open minded listeners, it makes them feel more comfortable to state their opinions, feelings and ideas. Listeners should avoid being judgmental. The individual does not have to agree with the ideas, values or opinions of the speaker; however, to fully understand them, one must put aside their criticism. Speakers will believe that they can trust the listeners with their information when they know that they will not be judged. Miscommunication happens frequently, listene...
To be effective listeners, the listening process should be incorporated into our lives. We should be attentive to what people say, clarify what the speaker is trying to come across, and respond in a way the speaker can understand what we are saying. I think I was aware that I needed some improvement in certain areas of this process but I feel as everything is slowly changing. In the future, I’m going try not to interrupt people, get distracted, tune out, and try to get a bigger picture of what the person is telling me. If good listening habits are applied in our day-to-day life, we can easily communicate with anyone and everyone.
