DIFFERENT METHODS OF COMMUNICATION
We are constantly using some or the other way of communication to deliver a message effectively. Choosing a right
method will help us in building a strong-relationship with the people around us in our professional and personal lives.
Some of the important methods of communication are verbal, non-verbal and visual communication. Let us learn
about them in detail.
Some of the important methods of communication are:
• Face-to-face Informal Communication: It is the most popular form of verbal
communication where the transmission of messages occurs when the sender and
receiver are directly facing each other. Both of them can also observe and adjust
the communication by using proper gestures and body language. It is the most
effective form of communication as the inflation sent by the sender is perceived
directly with minimum distortion of the information. The sender also gets the
acknowledgement immediately.
• E-mail: It is an easy and cost effective way of written communication where digital
information can be sent instantly to one or more people in various locations.
• Notices/Posters: It is a form of visual communication generally used when the same
message is required to be conveyed to a large group of people. For example posters help in
publicising a given event like an annual day celebration in school, Diwali Fair etc, a
propaganda like “Say No To Plastic” , or even an artwork.
• Business Meetings: It involves interactive and formal communication between two or
more people where participants can engage in real-time discussions, share ideas, and
exchange information.
• Other Methods: Some other methods of communication can be using social networking,
messaging or making a phone call, through newsletter, blogs etc.
Choosing the right method of communication Choosing the right method of communication
depends on
• target audience
• costs
• kind/type of information
• urgency/priority
The way you communicate directly affects how you are perceived and understood by others. Clear and effective
communication fosters positive relationships, while poor communication can lead to misunderstandings and strained
connections. It is therefore crucial to invest ample time and carefully weigh various factors when deciding on the most
appropriate methods to enhance your effectiveness in tasks.
