MODULE CONTENT

VERBAL COMMUNICATION

Verbal Communication refers to an interaction in which words are used to relay a message.

Things to consider:

1. Appropriateness
The language that you use should be appropriate to the environment or occasion (i.e., whether formal
or informal).
2. Brevity
Speakers who often use simple, yet precise and powerful words are found to be more credible. Try to
achieve brevity by being more direct with your words. Avoid fillers and insubstantial expressions which
do not add to the message, such as “uh,” “you know,” “I guess,” and others.
3. Clarity
The meanings of words, feelings, or ideas may be interpreted differently by a listener; hence, it is
essential for you to clearly state your message and express your ideas and feelings.
4. Ethics
Words should be carefully chosen in consideration of the gender, roles, ethnicity, preferences, and
status of the person or people you are talking to.
5. Vividness
Words that vividly or creatively describe things or feelings usually add color and spice to
communication. Hence, you are encouraged to find ways to charm your audience through the use of
vivid words.
