Published by communicationtype, on Apr 26 2010, in the categories: Types of dialogues

The most studied type of communication, the verbal communication, has two forms: oral and written. This article it’s supposed to answer to a very simple question” What is oral communication?” and the answer it’s also very simple. Oral communication it’s supposed of being the message understood and it’s oral expressing. There are lots of speakers who simply impress us. The fascination doesn’t come just from the message’s content but especially from the manner of communicating it. In these situations, we are in the presenece of „two languages” For giving an ample answer to the question: “What is oral communication?” I’ll offer you in this article all the oral communication’s forms and I’ll start with the:
-Monologue: it’s a communication’s form in which the emitter doesn’t involve a receiver but there it’s a feedback without existing a certain public;

-Conference : a classical conference suppose a direct public addressing in which that who sustain the conference avoids in expressing his own judgments but presents with fidelity the judgments of the authors he’s talking about;

-Prelection: it’s a communicative situation in which the public that assist at prelection has the possibility of organizing the information, the facts, and events antecedent to this type of communication. The prelection supposes a highest level of tackling especially that the speaker are not totally informed about the subject;
-Narration: it’s a communication’s type in which an emitter makes a decode, a revealing or a presentation using a type of language or another regarding an objective reality and general facts. The emitter has no part of involving in the presented actions avoiding the subjectivism and personalism;


-Speech: it’s the most claiming and highest level form of monologue which suppose emitting, explaining and sustaining some points of view, some inedited ideas which express a moment or a very important part in that domain’s ascent;
-Toast: it’s a  pronunciation interceded because a very special event counting just three or four minutes invoking the feelings of those presents;
-Allocution it’s a speaker’s interceding in a communicational circumstance expressing a point of view and counts just ten minutes;
-Account it’s the easiest form of communication using the most diversified manners invoking imagination, feelings, antecedent knowledge, the emitter’s personalism. In this way, the emitter marks the form and the style of the delivered messages;
-Defense it’s almost the same with the allocution but presents a characteristic: that who sustain a defence presents and explain his own point of view;
-Homily: it’s an addressing which eliminates any possibility of critic manifestation or contra-argumentation; it’s specific for powerful hierarchies institutions;


-Interference: it’s a situation in which the emitter sustains the ideas of other partner in a certain discussion this one agreeing with the transmitted message;
-Dialogue: it’s a communication in which the messages are changed between members everyone becoming emitter and receiver. In this way they change information, all the members being equal with each other;
-Debate: it’s a moderated communication’s form dedicated to clarification and throughness of some ideas.

Eye Contact As Characteristic Of Nonverbal Communication

Published by communicationtype, on Apr 17 2010, in the categories: Types of dialogues, types of communication

Words and gestures are parts of communication. It’s supposed that nonverbal communication is about 90% from general communication. But, what exactly transmits this type of communication? There is maybe a dictionary about gestures and especially of visions? Well, this article is about the effect of eye contact in nonverbal communication and I’ll try to explain if a strong eye contact is necessary a great attitude.

When somebody says “yellow”, a person can think at sun, another at a yellow wall and others can think at broods and so on. We cannot know what the associated image to yellow is without our partner of discussion says it. The vision it’s an important characteristic of nonverbal communication.  There is a general opinion about eye contact. If you’re looking very powerful to your partner, you seem as being sincere and truly interested about conversation. Can be this opinion 100% really? Maybe, if something annoying had happened and I ask the others who’s responsible of that and all of them are looking straight into my eyes and just a single person doesn’t have a strong eye contact with me, may I suppose it’s his fault? Maybe he didn’t heard what I was talking about, maybe he’s thinking to something more important and hasn’t time to listen my problem or maybe seeing me upset makes him to get shy. Why the absence of visual contact would indicate just left-handedness?


Those who lie for surely have a reason. And, usually, reason impulses you do to everything to hide your lie. In conclusion, a liar can look straight into your eyes and continues to lie you off-handedly, neither the smallest whiplash attesting him. So, basing only on this type of reaction in analyzing somebody can be an austere error of judgment.  In Japan, a powerful eye contact indicates more a symbol of aggression and lack of respect. In Occident, represents interest and sincerity. The opinion about eye contact in nonverbal communication depends of culture, perception but also acquires different symbols from person to person.


People to who their eyes are “walking” while you are talking, can have many reasons for this reaction, without being less interested or double-faced. Maybe they are shy or nervous because an antecedent event ruined their mood. Personally, very rare I’m looking straight into a person’s eyes. I like to observe a person with more secrecy. I hate the idea of making my partner of discussion feeling shy or daunted. I was a shy person now long time ago and I’ve discussed with many timorous persons. I know how you are feeling when somebody simply gazes at you.  And, even when I’m looking to somebody when talking, I don’t look into his eyes but I’m looking to his face profile. But I’m not a hollow-hearted person. Also, usually I’m very attentive when somebody talks with me without gazing at him. In my opinion, I’m certain that you can proof your attention through other ways not just through assiduous looks.

Importance Of Nonverbal Communication

Right in ’60 years, some specialists in this subject, started to speak more often about the importance of nonverbal communication. Nowadays, almost all of us have knowledge about this type of communication. But the question is other. How much of us use the knowledge about importance of nonverbal communication? In this article, I’d like to give some examples about nonverbal communication and I’ll start with the most simple like the rhythm of our way in talking.

So, the rhythm we talk like affection displays are very important for our discussion partner. For lots of people, a slow rhythm indicates hesitation but a very alert rhythm indicates anxiety and indecision. On the other side, talking about affection displays, they were studied lot of time ago but we cannot speak about it than in a generalization manner because affection displays are too many and also their meaning it’s different.


But, some affection displays are well known in the whole world like the eyebrow display: completely raised, they indicate hesitation, half raised they indicate a surprise, in a normal pose the eyebrows indicate the absence of reactions and criteria, half sunk they indicate perplexity and totally sunk the eyebrows indicate disgust, angry. The visual contact is another characteristic of nonverbal communication. It has functions in moderating a conversation, delivering feed-back, in expressing our feelings and also, it can transmit information about the relation between two interlocutors. The visual contact is the most important characteristic of communication. Many of our appreciations are instinctive, what we are used to call “the first impression” it’s more the result of period and type of our interlocutor’s look. Lots of examinations show that we are choosing our discussion’s partners from those persons who accord to us visual interest and especially we can look into his eyes. Other elements of nonverbal communication are the gestures and our outfit. Very short alert motions indicate angry and distance while ample motions indicate an artistic spirit or, in other cases, can indicate a person who’s not very sure about her ability of talking. What’s correlating to our outfit, I’m sure that every magazine talks about its importance, about our social roles and also about the effect upon the others.


There are some persons that aren’t used in having a business array. How can they cope with an important interview? My piece of advice it’d be to choose a decent look in which they feel comfortable and not clothes “as the book says”. If we don’t feel well in our skin and we don’t recognize the person from those clothes, the chances to make the others feel okay in our presence are extremely doubtful. I hope this article made you to understand better the importance of nonverbal communication and now, in your way to an important interview, try not thinking on some intelligent answers you must give but greatest it’d be to listen a song that you like very much, to relax and to have an hopeful smile on your face.

Characteristics Of Interpersonal Communication

During our whole life, people learn something new about their selves and also about those they get in contact with. But, sometimes, we are quite confused when it’s coming to evaluate some problems or others conditions. This thing may represent a huge impediment for fulfilling our dreams. That’s the reason for why communication plays an important role in interpersonal relations, both personal and professional level. Communication may facilitate or foil the development of your relationships at work but also may affect your love life. There are lots of effective communication skills and once learned you’ll be able to cope with any kind of situation, being a victorious person. Some important analyses revealed interesting results. Maybe you’ll be surprised to find out that success (and here I am talking about your personal life, relationships but also about your career) depends on how well you know yourself and depends less on your professional qualities. In fact, the percentage between these two criteria is 85% to 15%.
The first and probably the most diffused situation of verbal communication is interpersonal communication and here are lots of things to write about characteristics of interpersonal communication. As the word speaks about, interpersonal communication means the interaction between a person or a group of persons with other person or group of persons with no mechanical media. Examples of interpersonal communication can be a chit-chat with a family member or the moment when you participate in a conversation and also a simple conversation in general.

The messages are quite hard to be interrupted and they are produced with no big costs. Also, interpersonal messages can be private or public. We must form our messages to correspond to situation and also to our communication partner that’s why we must pay a lot of attention and also it's ought to posses the knowledge about characteristics of interpersonal communication for being as well as possible understood. The decode it’s still an easy process used by those receivers who can distinguish the messages. The feed-back it’s immediately. This process uses visual and auditory channels.

But, there is also another type of interpersonal communication, that one helped by devices. The most important feature about interpersonal communication helped by devices is the fact it allows to the source and to the receiver to be separated, in time but also in space. It combines the interpersonal communication’s features but also the ample communication’s features too. Interpersonal communication it’s a global process that include words, pantomime, gestures and spatial rapports. The interlocutors make change of information, take responsibilities in verbal and nonverbal collaboration and become inseparably. In conclusion, someone’s statements are getting build through reporting to other’s statements and the inner man cannot be revealed just interceding with a duet thyself.

Communication Skills

Published by communicationtype, on Apr 14 2010, in the categories: Types of dialogues, types of communication

We lead our life in a very ebullient epoch of visual and aural communication and the spoken word or as I call communication skills acquire new values and more importance. The actors of the new society use the spoken words to justify their role and their place. If we want to have friends, to prevent a conflict, to offer a flower we must use the verbal communication skills. If suddenly, all people would totally forget the words they know and use them each day, nobody couldn’t talk with nobody: the lover with his girl, the kid with his mother, the teacher with pupils, the patient with the medic and so on.



Through words, we try to convince  and influence the others actions, using them we communicate what we know or we may find what we are looking for, with these spoken words we fire up the passion, desire and fantasies. Just through words, all the interactions become possible also we can deliver our experience. The interest dedicated to verbal communication it’s not anymore a happening but a necessity. If indoor fitness helps us in becoming more healthy and rangy, you’d be surprised to find out that you can become a good speaker thanks to some vocal techniques.


There are some exercises too very useful in having a beautiful voice.  These exercises of vocal technique can contour the truly “you” recording to world.  We’ve listened and we continue to listen with immensely pleasure tens or hundreds of personalities who totally own the art of speaking in public, what we also call elocution. But this thing doesn’t mean that all the persons promoted on radio or television holds that simple and beautiful speech.

Like Stanislavsky said about this kind of acoustic elocution: “the truly melodiousness, that sustained rhythm, real and different that expresses very well and calm the inside drown of our thought and feelings. Through conscious effort, well sensed, the volubility, those organs of speech are endless improving. A hard work can help everybody in expressing as much as natural and gradating all the ideas you want to deliver. Personally, I met lot of people who had some slips of tongue or other defects in expressing their ideas and all of them seemed to have no hope in reaching their goal in correctly framing the syllables.


But, why not bethinking at all the engaged in perfumes enterprises who, through work and exercises, they improved so well their olfactory sense that now they can distinguish tens of savors that a layman cannot distinguish. The same things happen with people that work with textures. They can distinguish like forty tinctures of the same color. But the most beautiful example is represented by the most envied category of persons: wine tasters, those persons who have fine tastes in wines.

Teaching Communication Skills Activities

Published by communicationtype, on Mar 20 2010, in the categories: Types of dialogues

Teaching skills is a set of psychosocial quality, general and specific, necessary to design training activities which have as purpose the continued development of human personality, achievable activities in different institutional environments, under relevant conditions to the product level (internal resources, capitalized). In psychology, the skill is approached in terms of its relations with the human capacity. It is interpreted as: synonyms, real, in relation with human capacity, virtual, etc.



The general function of the teaching skills exceeds the scope of the educational actions, employing all the educational resources of the human activity, capitalized on the level of: content (intellectual – moral – technological – aesthetics – physical), form (formal – nonformal – informal), research (basic – guide – applied), and management educational (leadership – global – optimal – strategic).



The structure of the teaching skills synthesize "a complex psychosocial traits" which ensure the competency of the education subject in the action of the permanently development of the educational object (preschool, pupil, student, etc.) Within this determined structure, is the ability of the teacher to communicate. It maintains the capitalization and the adequate integration of all features skills, achievable actually at the level of:

-         ability to know and to understand the subject of education

-         the capacity to stimulate the creativity needed to adapt to the new conditions that are arising during the unfolding educational / teaching action

-         the capacity to management organization of the activity at design – evaluation – deployment – self-improvement, through development of the reverse connection circuits.



The functional structure of the teaching skills, developed around the effective teaching communication ability, it correlates four general types of skills:

-         the policy competence, demonstrated through the correct reception and employment of the direct and indirect responsibilities, transmitted from the macrostructure finality.

-         the psychological competence, demonstrated through the correct reception and employment of the direct and indirect responsibilities, transmitted from the microstructure.

-         the scientific competence, demonstrated by the quality of the projects development at the line of continuity between the research basic – oriented – applied.

-         the social competence , which is dependent through the resources of adaptation of the “actors of the education” at the requirements of the national education community, local, regional, which are permanently moving.

The pedagogical skills “hire” a type of formative communication which emphasizes the quality of the teachers reported to three criteria of the global assessment:

-         the frequency of a creative behavior, adaptable to innovative changes, triggered at the system and process level;

-         the fan of the pedagogical situations, which are based on the structure function of the educational / teaching actions, in terms of continues self-adjustments;

-         the intensity of the effective pedagogical reaction in conditions of an open psycho – social field, which is influencing the behavior of the “educational actors”.

The practical dimensions of the teaching skills, shows triple hypostasis: the specialty teacher, teacher and class master, but also the hypostasis of teacher and adviser.

The specialty teacher hypostasis (native language, mathematics, physics, biology, philosophy, etc.), is requesting a particular type of teaching skills, based on the capacity of design – implementation – evaluation of knowledge, based on the strategy and skills needed in the learning activities, organized according to the specific objective of the school disciplines.

The teacher and class master hypostasis is based on the capacity of the formation of moral beliefs, while the teacher and adviser (or methodist teacher, director, inspector) hypostasis is based on the capacity of the leadership, in generally.


effective communication and conflict resolution skills

Published by communicationtype, on Mar 13 2010, in the categories: In relationships, Types of dialogues, types of communication

Guidelines for an effective communication - Many men and many women have very limited communication skills and almost all feel uncomfortable when they negotiate emotionally charged conflicts in their personal relationships.



Couples during divorce, faces an extremely demanding task. They must be able to communicate and resolve their conflicts over the most important things in their lives – their children – with someone that they do not have any confidence, someone they are afraid of or someone they hate.


However, the parents need to cooperate and communicate with one other on the numerous issues related to children. Who will take children from school? When they go to the summer camp? How and when will participate in the meetings with parents? Who will go shopping for things they need at school?

Divorced parents are constantly faced with the need of taking decisions in the common daily activities related to children, and discuss about the values to educate children. There are no easy answers to such a serious task but they have guides on hand for the difficult negotiations structure and organization, which they are located in front of the divorced people.

The following list presents 10 of the basic principles for an effective communication:
1. Set a waved signal to end a conversation that could escalate into conflict. Do not continue argue when the other sends the signal to cease the conversation for 5 minutes.
2. Do not deviate from the issue that you are discussion. Do not bring to the surface earlier discussions and do not expand the current conflict on other issues.
3. Keep the conflict limits between you. Do not bring friends or family in question which would agree with you. For example, refrain yourself from saying: “Even my mother says...”.
4. Treat your ex-husband or your ex-wife with respect and refrain yourself from challenges. Do not cry, do not insult, and do not go for offending the other. Offending the other person will create nothing but problems.
5. Get involved physical and emotional into the discussion until the end of it. Do not leave the room to avoid conflict without announcing the other first. The withdrawal is often a manipulative strategy. If you choose to leave, before you do this, give the other person a chance to change the subject.  For example “I invoke the signal now and you don’t answer”. “If you do not stop the discussion now, I will leave”, etc.
6. You both determine which are the right moments for discussion. Do not negotiate under the influence of the alcohol or drugs.
7. Focus only on solving the problems. Do not try to intimidate your ex-wife or your ex-husband.
8. Listen carefully to other’s point. Do not pretend that you listen when in fact  you yell and formulate your own contradiction.
9. Discuss about specific behaviors without using pejorative labels.  For example: “You were 20 minutes late to take the kids from school”, this is more effective than saying: “ All the times you are late...”. Do not use generalizations like “you never”, “you always”.


10. Accept the responsibility for what you did wrong. Do not pass blame, hold the point of view of the ex-husband/wife and do not insist that your opinion is the only version of the truth.
Applying these rules, the couples that are in divorce will avoid the common pitfalls of the conflict negotiation. Of course, the success of these rules depends on the condition that both, husband and wife, to agree submitting to them as much as possible.

Type Of Dialogues In Verbal Communication

Published by communicationtype, on Mar 10 2010, in the categories: Types of dialogues, types of communication

The communication is the basis of all relations. Life, work and considerable measure of our happiness depends on how we communicate. The better we can communicate, the more likely we have success in our relationships with family, friends, or in the business life. Because we are forced to contact with people, we must make others to understand us, to try to understand what other people want to be able to keep relation and to solve some life situations.

There are several types of the communication but this time we will talk about verbal communication. Verbal communication is used in everyday life but also in within organization human relationships. The verbal communication must be treated as an integral part of each person’s responsibility towards others.


Principles to increase the verbal communication efficiency:
- Every individual must be prepared for both role – transmitter and receiver – and transmitter has to: be careful with the message preparation, use a proper tones of the voice (an adequate flow is about 5 – 6 syllables per second with separation interval of 0.5 seconds between keywords), checking the meaning of the message; the receiver has to: know what he wants from the transmitter, to identify the relevant parts of the message and not forget them, to know the transmitter credibility.

- Any receiver must educate themselves in order to “listen actively” which means: creating a stat of mind that favor hearing, participation in discussion, focus on essentials and the intelligence listening in the sense of grating attention to the voice timbre pronunciation
- The friendly behavior. Usually when people coma in contact with others, they take a serious figure causing official a cold impression. They are reserved, secretive, in terms of discussion and that why is hard to communicate with them. The people who smile on the first date, they gate so friendly that the discussion unfolds by itself. The recipes of an efficient communication can be smile, friendly tone, listen closely, look into the eyes of the discussion partner, etc.

Dialogue is the planned and controlled discussion between two or more persons, which has a specific purpose: the transmission of information, solving problems, getting new information, etc.
The rules of an effective communication are: -  positive quidace of the communication (in pleasant facts, stimulative ones); - communication should be bilateral (allowing the messages exchange, asking questions); - the concordance between the verbal and gestures communication; - avoid ambiguities (uncertainties); - avoid overlapping messages; - create clear messages, concise (expressed with usual words and phrases)


Dialogues - Verbal communication forms: it can be achieved in several forms such as : occasionally short speech having a high emotional load with a simple structure – the events, impressions, feelings, wishes, congratulations; the toast which is a very short speech in the occasional form, emotional loaded; conference; debate; dissertation; the speech.
