Describe the
classification of non verbal communication?
Ans1: Verbal Communication- Verbal communication refers to the use of
sounds and language to relay a message. It serves as a vehicle for expressing
desires, ideas and concepts and is vital to the processes of learning and teaching.
In combination with nonverbal forms of communication, verbal communication
acts as the primary tool for expression between two or more people. It includes
written and oral communication.
Verbal Communication is further divided into:
Oral Communication.
Written Communication.
Oral CommunicationIn oral communication, Spoken words are used. It includes face-to-face
conversations, speech, telephonic conversation, video, radio, television, voice
over internet. In oral communication, communication is influence by pitch,
volume, speed and clarity of speaking.
Written CommunicationIn written communication, written signs or symbols are used to communicate. A
written message may be printed or hand written. In written communication
message can be transmitted via email, letter, report, memo etc.
Non-verbal communication is a bit more complicated. It is sending a message
without using words to convey meaning. Non-verbal communication can
include many different elements like facial expression, Body movement and
gestures, etc.
Types of Communication Based on Purpose and Style:
Informal CommunicationIt arises out of all those channels that fall outside the formal channels and it is
also known as grapevine. Communication between employees outside the
formal communication structure of the company. While the subject of informal
communication can be business-related, it need not be.

Formal CommunicationFormal communication It involves utilizing the formal communication

channels of an organization. Formal communication can move vertically in an


organization. Information is collected and flows up to the top levels of
management for review and decision making, while orders flow down from the
top to the place where it will be implemented. For example, employees may be
given a presentation from the human resources department on new policies and
procedures.

Ques 2: Describe any situation in your own experience because the


communication is failed because listening was faulty? Identify the barrier to
listening in this situation?
Ans2: Once I had gone for an interview for BPO, that time I had not much
experience for this kind of job and my communication was not that good. Apart
from that the room was over crowded and so many disturbances and noise was
there. Later I realize there are some barriers because of which I did not
performed up to the mark.These barriers may be classified as follows
1. Environmental Barriers
This is the same as physical noise, which could be in the form of
distracting sounds, an overcrowded room, poor facilities and acoustics, all
of which may hinder the ability to listen to and understand the message.
2. Individual Barriers
A major barrier to interpersonal communication is a tendency to judge,
evaluates, approve or disapprove of the views of another person. This
happens particularly in situations where we have strong feelings about
something. In such cases, we tend to block out the communication and
form our own viewpoints.
3. Organizational Barriers
In organizations that are too hierarchical, that is, where there are multiple
layers, messages may have to pass through many levels before they
finally reach the receiver, it becomes distorted by the time it reaches the
intended receiver.
4. Semantic BarriersThere is always a possibility of misunderstanding the feelings of the
sender of the message or getting a wrong meaning of it. The words, signs,
and figures used in the communication are explained by the receiver in
the light of his experience which creates doubtful situations.
5. Body Language and Gesture DecodingWhen the communication is passed on with the help of body language
and gestures, its misunderstanding hinders the proper understanding of

the message. For example, moving ones neck to reply to a question does
not indicate properly whether the meaning is Yes or No.
6. Cultural barrierCultural differences affect communication between people from different
departments in the organisation. For example: words, colours and
symbols have different meanings in different cultures.
7. Language barriersLanguage barriers are a common challenge it is a Two-way process. It
creates the greatest barriers to effective communication it seems pretty
self-inherent, but there are often hidden language barriers that we arent
always aware of.
