Dyad communication
What is dyad?
Dyadic communication occurs when two
people have a direct interaction. Dyadic
communication is a form of interpersonal
discussion. A conversation is just one form
of communication.
When you understand communication

between two people, you have a better
idea of how to have good communication
with others.

Dyadic Communication is a relevant body
of communication. The objective of this
unit is to make you understand.

Small group communication
What is small group communication?

It is critical to understand the various
types of speech contexts because
they will help us fully understand why
we need to communicate with
ourselves as well as with others and
how we should act and respond in
front of them. There are three types
of speech contexts: interpersonal
(one pa icipant), intrapersonal (two
or more pa icipants), and public
(conversation with a larger group).
The manner in which we deliver our
speech or messages, from the words
we say to how we say them, is
dependent on the person speaking
and the situational context. To
communicate e ectively, we must
rst understand with whom we are
conversing. For example, it's strange
to be formal in front of our mother,
isn't it? As a result, communication
can be expressed in a variety of ways,
with va ing outcomes. The speech
style can be intimate, casual,
consultative, formal, or frozen.
Communication in small groups
consists of three or more people who
share a common goal and
communicate collectively to achieve
it.
Di erent groups have di erent
characteristics, se e di erent
purposes, and can lead to positive,
neutral, or negative experiences.
While our interpersonal relationships
primarily focus on relationship
building, small groups (as studied by
communication scholars) usually
focus on some so of task completion
or goal accomplishment. A
There is no set number of members
for the ideal small group. A small
group requires a minimum of three
people (because two people would be
a pair or dyad with a di erent
communication pattern), but the
upper range of group size is
contingent on the purpose of the
group. When groups grow beyond
fteen to twenty members, it
becomes di cult to consider them a
small group based on the previous
de nition.
Example of Small group
communication
A group of students discussing about
their project
Oral
What is oral?Oral communication is
the ability to transmit ideas from your
brain to either one person or a group
of people. Good use of verbal skills
means presenting an idea clearly
while each thought is a iculated in a
cohesive manner. It has eve thing to
do with the language that we choose
to use. It’s also impo ant to know
who your audience is and address
them in a way that they comprehend
and understand. Your tone is also
impo ant as a con dent tone can go
far when you are expressing an idea
as it can help you sound more
credible. Good verbal communication
often relies on non-verbal cues. These
cues, like hand gestures or a raised
brow, might put emphasis on a point,
show how you feel about what you
are saying, and provide insight about
the seriousness of a situation.
Another impo ant aspect to think
about is that good verbal skills go
hand-in-hand with excellent listening
skills. When used together it becomes
much easier to navigate day-to-day
encounters at work and in your
personal life

Verbal communication:
Verbal communication is about
language, both written and spoken. In
general, verbal communication refers
to our use of words while nonverbal
communication refers to
communication that occurs through
means other than words, such as
body language, gestures, and silence.
Both verbal and nonverbal
communication can be spoken and
written. Many people mistakenly
assume that verbal communication
refers only to spoken communication.
However, you will learn that this is not
the case. Let’s say you tell a friend a
joke and he or she laughs in response.
Is the laughter verbal or nonverbal
communication? Why? As laughter is
not a word we would consider this
vocal act as a form of nonverbal
communication. For simpli cation,
the box below highlights the kinds of
communication that fall into the
various categories. You can nd many
de nitions of verbal communication
in our literature, but for this text, we
de ne verbal communication as an
agreed-upon and rule-governed
system of symbols used to share
meaning. Let’s examine each
component of this de nition in detail.
Example:
Advising others regarding an
appropriate course of action.
Asse iveness.
Conveying feedback in a constructive
manner emphasizing speci c,
changeable behaviors.
Disciplining employees in a direct and
respectful manner.
Giving credit to others.
Recognizing and countering
objections.
Nov verbal:
Nonverbal communication without
obligato ties to language is by far
the most diverse catego , and may
be vocal, involving sounds originating
in the vocal tract, or nonvocal.
Nonvocal signs in turn may draw on
sound production and interpretation,
as in whistles and clapping, or may
involve any other sense modality –
such as vision, olfaction, taste, and
touch, with vision paramount,
whether through gesture, dress
styles, or architecture.
Another foundational distinction
made in nonverbal communication
centers on context, especially
whether face-to-face, more generally
interpersonal, or between more
remote actors (Go man, 1963).
Contempora media have introduced
many innovations for nonverbal
communication. Cell-phone use is
verbal, leading to some ordina
nonverbal signs accompanying
speech being masked by the medium
while others are exaggerated.
Emailing represents the verbal both
nonverbally and nonvocally, in
writing; yet fu her nonvocal and
vocal nonverbal expression seeps in
through emoticons and yet-to-be
standardized strings of icons, indexes,
and symbols.
Example:
facial expressions, gestures,
paralinguistics (such as loudness or
tone of voice), body language,
proxemics or personal space, eye
gaze, haptics (touch), appearance,
and a ifacts.
Listening
Listening is the ability to accurately
receive and interpret messages in the
communication process. • Listening is
key to all e ective communication,
without. the ability to listen e ectively
messages are easily misunderstood
Listening is often something we take

for granted. It is common that people
often hear what
is being said but hearing is a lot
di erent to listening. To listen, we
need to make a conscious
e o not to just hear what people are
saying but to take it in, digest it and
understand.
Not only does listening enhance your
ability to understand better and make
you a better
communicator, it also makes the
experience of speaking to you more
enjoyable to other
people.

Ex:Informational Listening (Listening
to Learn) Critical Listening (Listening
to Evaluate and Analyse) Therapeutic
or Empathetic Listening (Listening to
Understand Feeling and Emotion)
