Communication is a huge part of being human and allows us to connect with others on a deeper level because when we communicate we convey our thought, opinions and personal understanding of the world. The quote of Tubbs and Moss best describe the emissive part communication plays in our lives, humans ‘spend about 75 per cent of each day communicating’ (LMC107 course outline 2013:1). Communication is a sequence of events, dynamic, never-ending and ever-changing process meaning it has no fixed beginning nor end, nor fixed sequence of event in it from this viewpoint, communication can be define as a complex and dynamic process of exchanging meaningful messages (Introduction to communication 2013:13). This process has different components that influence and occur during an exchange of communication.…

Communication is very important in everyday life as it allows people to express themselves, it is especially prominent when people are new to one an other as it enables the development of a relationship and provides a tool for understanding an individual. It can also be highlighted when there is an issue that needs resolving between people, direct communication is essential in this scenario and the way in which something is communicated can also have a profound affect on a circumstance or situation. When verbally communicating there is a variety of tones, pitches and language to consider and some of this is personal and therefore somewhat difficult for a person to have control over; for instance what language they speak, what dialect or accent they may have whether their tone of voice is soft, gruff, loud, or quiet etc. these details can have an impact on how another may deliver or receive the information being verbally communicated.…

In an everyday context talk and dialogue are an essential part of interaction between people. Talk allows us to voice out thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also helps us question and find out what others are thinking – talk therefore helps us make sense of a chaotic world. According to Britton (1970, p. 20) ‘the primary task for speech is to symbolise reality in order for us to be able to deal with it.’ Vygotsky (1962, p.25), states that ‘thought is not merely expressed in words; it comes into existence through them’…

There is an art to listening; and as Julia Wood states about listening, “We try to understand not just content but also the person speaking” (Wood 166). In essence, the goal of listening is to gasp the message, meaning and feelings of the person talking. Therefore, there are listening behaviors and listening styles that can either enhance or impede this process and flow of communication. To this point, observations have been made of two separate conversations in which listening behaviors and styles were seen as a lesson in what type of behaviors and styles are helpful and which are not.…
Communication competence is the ability to choose a communication behavior that is both appropriate and effective for a given situation. Interpersonal competency allows one to achieve their communication goals without causing the other party to lose face. The model most often used to describe competence is the component model (Spitzberg & Cupach, 1984) which includes three components: 1) knowledge, 2) skill, and 3) motivation. Knowledge simply means knowing what behavior is best suited for a given situation. Skill is having the ability to apply that behavior in the given context. Motivation is having the desire to communicate in a competent manner.…
First of all, I want to share my own memoir about interpersonal communication. It is: “Speak less, listen more, think well”. I know this class is about speaking skill but before saying anything, we need to listen and clarify the information first. According to chapter 7 in the text book, listening is the process of receiving and responding to other’s message. During that process, mindful listening is required to give the message more attention. I made this memoir after thinking of the cause of conflicts and argument. I think most of the arguments and conflicts happen when two individuals fail to listen to other message mindfully.…
