Verbal Communication

                 Verbal communication is the most popular form of communication where
                 the transmission of messages occurs with the usage of words that can be
                 in oral spoken or written form. It includes sounds, words, and speech. It
                 is often used during presentations, video or teleconferences, informal or
                 formal telephone calls, discussions, lectures, public speaking, meetings,
                 etc. Verbal Communication can be divided further as:
                    • Oral or Spoken Communication:  Communication which involves
                   speaking. It can be face-to-face conversation or talking on a phone.
                    • Written Communication: Communication which involves written or typed words. It can be writing letters,
                   notes, email, etc.
                 Thus, language plays a very important role in this form of communication. Speaking with clarity, being short, simple
                 and focussed are important tools that will help in the process of verbal communication.  Verbal communication
                 can be further classified into: interpersonal communication, written communication, small group communication
                 and public communication.
