Quarter 4-Module 2
Competency: Employ a variety of strategies for effective interpersonal communication
(interview, dialog, conversation)

What is interpersonal communication?

Interpersonal communication is the process of people exchanging ideas, information, feelings and intent
through messages and signals. It consists of any exchanges between people – this can be face-to-face but
can also exist online or over the phone. The messages people get across to each other can be verbal and
nonverbal – we communicate not only through what we say but also through things like body language,
tone of voice, facial expressions and gestures.

 Interview
An interview is a formal or structured conversation between two or more individuals, typically
conducted to gather information, assess qualifications, or evaluate someone's suitability for a particular
role or purpose.

Example:

Interviewer: "Tell me about your previous work experience and how it relates to this position."
Interviewee: "I have five years of experience in project management, where I successfully led cross-
functional teams and delivered projects within budget and on time."

 Dialogue
A dialogue is a conversation between two or more people, often involving an exchange of ideas,
opinions, or information. Dialogues can be casual, formal, or fictional, and they can take place in various
settings.

Example:

Person A: "What are your plans for the weekend?"

Person B: "I'm thinking of going hiking with some friends. How about you?"
Person A: "I'm planning to catch up on some reading and relax at home."

 Conversation
A conversation refers to an informal exchange of thoughts, ideas, or experiences between two or more
people. It is a general term that encompasses a wide range of interactions, from casual chit-chat to deep
discussions.

Example:

Person A: "Did you watch the latest episode of that TV show?"

Person B: "Yes, I did. It was intense! The plot took an unexpected turn."
Person A: "I agree! The writers really know how to keep us hooked."
