DIFFERENT SETTINGS FOR
COMMUNICATION
Informal: most of our comm. occurs in informal
settings, which are casual, unstructured situations.
 Comm. is usually spontaneous [you think about what to say
as you go along, and then you say it].
 Examples:
Formal: situations you can prepare for ahead of time
 These situations allow you to affect the ideas and feelings of
people in important positions.
 Examples:
COMMUNICATION
Communication the process of sharing information
by using symbols to send and receive messages.
We will mainly be discussing interpersonal
communication (between two or more people).
Message: the ideas and feelings that make up the
content of communication.

TYPES OF
COMMUNICATION:
1. One on one- two people having a conversation.
 Examples?
2. Group- involves three or more people for a common
purpose.
 Purposes? Examples?
3. Public- one or more people communicate with an audience.
This is necessarily more formal.
 Examples?
4. Mass media—one person or perhaps several senders
communicate with a large number of listeners. Usually
these listeners are not physically present when the
sending takes place so the receiver can “turn off” the
sender at will.
 Examples?
YOUR AUDIENCE
To be an effective communicator, you must adapt to the needs
of your audience.
 In formal situations, learn something about them before giving the speech.
 In informal situations/settings, you learn about them as you communicate
w/ them.
What to look for…
 Individual characteristics – personality, aspirations, interests; can help
predict response to certain info
 Cultural characteristics – age, religion, national and ethnic background;
can focus your presentation in such a way that the audience will
understand and respond favorably to your message.
 Sociological characteristics – affiliations, educational background, and
occupations; can formulate general ideas about your listeners.
Speech Communication getting the meaning of
thoughts one person has in his or her mind into
the mind of another as clearly and accurately as
possible by transmitting words with voices.

To do so successfully, you must decide how to send
and interpret messages.
Encoding: The process of turning ideas and feelings
into verbal and nonverbal symbols.
Decoding: finding the meaning of verbal and
nonverbal symbols.

WAYS TO DELIVER A SPEECH
Manuscript method: write down
everything you plan to say, then
bring your manuscript to the
podium and read to the audience.
Memorization method: begins with
a written manuscript, but differs in
that the manuscript is memorized
and not used during the delivery.
Extemporaneous method:
speakers prepare outlines
of the ideas of their
speeches beforehand, but
do not memorize an exact
pattern of words. Outlines
or note cards may be used.
Impromptu method: when
people must speak “off the
cuff” with no preparation
time.
