1. Methods of Communication
Okay, so let's talk about communication.
- • Communication: from Latin commūnicāre = 'to share'
- • 3 parts: Transmitting, Listening, Feedback
- • Elements: Sender, Message, Channel, Receiver, Feedback
- • Methods: Face-to-face, e-mail, Notices/Posters, Business Meetings

2. Verbal Communication

- • 55% body movements, 38% voice/tone, 7% words
- • Types: Facial Expressions, Posture, Gestures, Touch, Space, Eye Contact, Paralanguage
- • Straight posture = confidence; Slumped posture = weakness

4. Communication Cycle and Feedback
Okay, so let's talk about feedback.
- • Feedback: response given by receiver to sender
- • Types: Positive, Negative, No Feedback
- • Good feedback: Specific, Timely, Polite, Offers continuing support
- • Importance: validates listening, motivates, always there, boosts learning, improves performance
5. Barriers to Effective Communication
Okay, so let's talk about what makes communication effective, and what gets in the way of it.
- • 7Cs: Clear, Concise, Concrete, Correct, Coherent, Complete, Courteous
- • Barriers: Physical, Linguistic, Interpersonal, Organisational, Cultural
- • Overcome by: simple language, no assumptions, in-person talk, visuals, translator, respect
6. Writing Skills: Parts of Speech
Okay, so writing skills matter too — e-mails, letters, notes, all of it.
- • Sentence = complete thought; Phrase = incomplete
- • TINS: Titles, 'I', Names, Start of sentence
- • Punctuation: full stop, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, apostrophe
- • Parts of speech: Noun, Pronoun, Adjective, Verb, Adverb

7. Writing Skills: Sentences
Okay, so — let's talk about sentences.
- • Subject + Verb + Object: 'He threw the ball'
- • Direct Object: acted on directly; Indirect Object: to/for whom
- • Active: subject does action; Passive: subject receives action
- • Types: Declarative (.), Interrogative (?), Exclamatory (!), Imperative (./!)
- • Paragraph: group of sentences, one common idea
Summary
Okay, so let's quickly recap everything we covered. We began with what communication actually means — transmitting a message, listening, and giving feedback. We looked at its elements — the Sender, the Message, the Channel and the Receiver. And we saw the methods people use, like face-to-face talk, e-mail and notices. Then we moved to verbal communication — its types, like Interpersonal and Public Communication — and how to get better at it. Here's something interesting — most of our communication is actually non-verbal. Think about it — expressions, gestures, posture, touch, space, eye contact, and even paralanguage, all speak without words. Visual communication, through images, does the same job. We also saw why feedback matters so much — positive, negative, or even no feedback at all — it's the vital last step in the cycle. Along with that, we learnt the 7Cs, and the barriers that can block good communication — physical, linguistic, interpersonal, organisational and cultural. Finally, we worked on our writing — capitalisation, punctuation, the parts of speech, and how subjects, verbs and objects come together to form sentences, active or passive, of different types, and then paragraphs. That's a lot we've covered together. Now, tell me — out of all this, which part did you enjoy learning the most?
