a. Verbal communication – uses the spoken or written word b. Non-verbal communication – uses other forms, such as gestures or facial expressions, and touch.
2. What are the elements of communication

3. what are Communication Process
a. Face-to-face communication involves a sender, a message, a receiver, and response, or feedback. In its simplest form, communication is a two way process involving the sending and the receiving of a message. Because the intent of communication is to elicit a response, the process is ongoing; the receiver of the message then becomes the sender of a response, and the original sender then becomes the receiver.
4. What are the Characteristics of Communication
a. Communication is the interchange of information between two or more people; in other words, the exchange of ideas or thoughts. This kind of communication uses methods such as talking and listening or writing and reading. However, painting, dancing, and story telling are also methods of communication. In addition, thought are conveyed to others not only by spoken or written words but also by gestures or body actions. b. It can be a transmission of feelings or a more personal and social interaction between people. c. Elicit a response; thus, communication is a process, it has two main purposes: to influence others and to obtain information. Communication can be described as helpful or unhelpful. The former encourages a sharing of information, thoughts, or feelings between two or more people. The latter hinders or blocks the transfer of information and feelings. d. Communication can occur on an intrapersonal level within a single individual as well as on interpersonal and group levels. Intrapersonal communication is the communication that you have with yourself; another name is self-talk. Both the sender and the receiver of a message usually engage in self-talk. It involves thinking about the message before it is sent, while it is being sent, and after it is sent, and it occurs constantly. Consequently intrapersonal communication can interfere with a person’s ability to hear a message as the sender intended.
5. What are the Different channels of Communication
a. Talking face to face with a person - effective in some instances than telephoning or writing a message b. Recording messages on tape, communicating by radio or television – more appropriate for larger audiences c. Emails d. Written communication – appropriate for long explanations or for a communication that needs to be preserved. e. Non-verbal channel of touch – highly effective.
