LESSON 11

 “talking to one’s self” or “communicating with

oneself”
 Intrapersonal communication may be seen in
situations involving talking to or writing to
oneself, even thinking to oneself.
 To clarify further, talking to yourself may mean
repeating a song heard while in the mirror,
memorizing out loud a dialogue in a play, or
berating oneself in a mutter on the way to
school for forgetting one’s homework.

 Interpersonal communication is an
exchange of information between two
or more people.

 Interpersonal communication has

different types.
 From the root word “dyad” meaning something
that consists of two elements/parts.
 One speaker and one listener come together to
exchange thoughts, ideas, opinions, and
information.
 The roles of speaker and listener are not fixed,
they are interchangeable.
 Conversation is informal dyadic communication,
while interview and dialogue are formal dyadic
communication.

 This requires 3 to 15 people to study an
issue, discuss a problem, and come up
with a solution or a plan.
 This is not just a gathering of people with
no goal in mind. The group has an agenda,
a leader, and an outcome to accomplish.
 Everyone can be both speaker and
listener.
 Small groups may be divided into two
according to purpose: Study groups and Task-
Oriented groups.
 Study groups are meant to look into a problem
but not necessarily come up with a solution.
 Task-oriented groups study an issue such as
the perennial traffic problem of Metro Manila
or the pollution of Laguna de Bay to come up
with a plan to resolve that issue.

 Public communication is different from Dyadic
or Small Group Communication in that one
Speaker addresses many Listeners, collectively
known as an Audience. There is no
interchanging of the Speaker and Listener roles.

 Many Public Communication events are formal.

The speech is well prepared, the Speaker is
dressed appropriately, and the Listeners are set
to listen to the Message.
 Moreover, there is usually a stage, a
lectern/rostrum, and a microphone coupled with
sound system and sometimes spotlights.
 Usually the programs are formally structured,
with the so called “program”, having a Master of
Ceremonies or “emcee”, a Welcome Address, an
Introduction to Speaker, the speech by the
speaker, and Closing Remarks.
 There can also be an informal version of public
communication which usually happens during
family reunion, protest rallies, and the like.
 Mass communication is any of the above human
verbal interactions carried out with the aid of mass
media technology.
 Mass media used to mean only radio and television,
which reached people with the use of their
technical systems.
 With the advent of the Internet and the worldwide
web, Mass Communication now includes Social
Media. Social Media cover videos that go viral on
the Internet, more than radio or TV ever could. In
fact, radio and TV have joined Social Media by
putting up their own websites to communicate to a
larger audience.

 This refers to the interaction of members along
links in an organizational structure. There are two
variations of Organizational Communication.
 Formal Organizat’l Communication uses the
proper channels graphically illustrated by an
organizational chart. Memos, announcements, and
reports issued by the company president , sent
along to the vice president, then is passed on to
the managers, and finally handed on the
supervisors before reaching the employees.
 Meanwhile, Informal Organizat’l
Communication does not necessarily follows
the flow as such in the formal one. The memos
or announcements will probably reach the
employees faster than the formal one because
the secretary who typed the memo shared it to
his/her colleagues.
 This doesn’t mean that one is more important
than the other, or the other is bad, the other
not. Both are necessary for the organization to
survive.
 This refers to the exchange of concepts,
traditions, values, and practices between and
among people of different nationalities and ways
of life.
 It goes beyond showcasing folkdances, local
songs, and native delicacies. To make the
exchange more meaningful, there should be a
deeper understanding and awareness of what
makes various nationalities different and unique,
but also similar and familiar.

 All Communication, whatever the Speech Context, has to
have a purpose. Each Context that one may be engaged in
is according to what best suits the Purpose and how best
to accomplish it, but the Contexts are not mutually
exclusive. Before Public Communication can take place,
the Speaker subjects himself/herself to Intrapersonal
Communication by thinking, writing, and talking tom
oneself. Small Group Communication happens because of
something that came up in a Dyadic Communication, and
so on. Given the Context and Purpose, Communication
Strategies are also based on different types of Speech
Styles.
