Overview

It is a man’s nature to talk or communicate. We start

communicating or start making sounds from birth and we
continue to communicate until death. We feel that we
always have something to communicate, something to share
and we do it verbally or nonverbally.
Communication
determines our quality of life and our relationship with our
fellow human beings. As a social animal, man needs to
communicate effectively with others. Everyone needs to
communicate, to be understood, to understand others in
order to function effectively in the modern world.
Effective communication is not only necessary for
personal success, but vital for national survival and international understanding and peace.
In this module, you will be exploring and learning about interpersonal
communication. Moreover, this course is intended to help you employ variety of strategies
for effective interpersonal communication such as interview, conversation and dialog.

Learning Objectives
Communicating with others is at the heart of every activity in our day-today life. It is
a process which enables you to share ideas with others. Communicating is something that you
do throughout the day so we might as well be good at the art of communicating.
At the end of this learning module, you will be able to:
 Define what is interpersonal communication;
 Define what is interpersonal communication;
 Determine what is an interview, dialog and conversation;
 Employ a variety of strategies for effective interpersonal communication
(interview, dialog, conversation).
Content
The word communication comes from
the Latin word “communis”, meaning
“commonness or to make common to many,
to share, to impart.”
Communication is a process wherein
knowledge, ideas, information, attitudes,
feelings, and the like are transmitted. In other
words, when we communicate we share
knowledge, feelings, ideas, and opinions with
someone else.
Communication can be defined as a process of meaningful interaction whereby a
person not only sends but also receives and understands a message.
Communication is a two-way process. It
has a transmitter and a receiver. Therefore, it is
essential for facts to be transmitted in such a
manner that the meaning intended is conveyed and
the receiver understands the use of the message. It
becomes a two way process.
Communication can occur without words.
Our four senses, audio, visual, touch and smell,
communicate. The ring of the alarm tells us it’s
time to wake up, the eyes gaze at the window and
check for the time of day or weather, the touch of
the wind on our skin tells us if it is hot or cold and
the smell from the kitchen tells us what is cooking.
Interpersonal Communication, Defined
Interpersonal communication is the process by which people exchange
information, feelings, and meaning through verbal and non-verbal messages: it is face-to-face
communication. Interpersonal communication is not just about what is actually said - the
language used - but how it is said and the non-verbal messages sent through tone of voice,
facial expressions, gestures and body language.
Interpersonal communication is not just about what is actually said - the language
used - but how it is said and the non-verbal messages sent through tone of voice, facial
expressions, gestures and body language. Without speech, an observer may be using cues of
posture, facial expression, and dress to form an impression of the other's role, emotional state,
personality and/or intentions. Although no communication may be intended, people receive
messages through such forms of non-verbal behaviour.
Interpersonal communication is relational in nature; it takes place in a relationship and
the way we communicate depends on the kind of relationship we have with the other
person. The kind of communication can range from relatively impersonal to highly personal.

Different Types of Interpersonal Communication

Have you ever conducted an interview to obtain information about a person? What did you do to prepare for it?

INTERVIEW
An interview is essentially a structured conversation where one participant asks
questions, and the other provides answers. Commonly, the word "interview" refers to a one-
on-one conversation between an interviewer and an interviewee. The interviewer asks
questions to which the interviewee answers, usually so information is offered by the
interviewee to interviewer and that information may be used or provided to other audiences,
whether in real time or later.
Usually, an interview is made to obtain information from the interviewee. Interviews
usually take place face-to-face and in person. In some, the parties are separated
geographically, connecting by methods such as videoconferencing or telephone interviews.
Interviews almost always involve spoken conversation between two or more parties.
Interviews can be unstructured, free-wheeling and open-ended conversations without
predetermined plan or prearranged questions, or highly structured conversations in which
specific questions occur in a specified order. Typically the interviewer has some way of
recording the information that is gleaned from the interviewee, often by keeping notes with a
pencil and paper, or with a video or audio recorder. Interviews usually have a limited
duration, with a beginning and an ending.
The traditional two-person interview format, sometimes called a one-on-one
interview, permits direct questions and follow-ups, which enables an interviewer to better
gauge the accuracy and relevance of responses.
COMMON TYPES OF INTERVIEW
TO OBTAIN INFORMATION

Face to Face Interview

Face to face interview is a meeting of persons face
to face to talk over something special. It is data
collection method when the interviewer directly
communicates with the interviewee. Probably, face to
face interview is the most popular and oldest form of data
collection method.
Advantages Disadvantages
 Allow for more in-depth data collection  Interviews are more time consuming to
and comprehensive understanding recruit and conduct
 Body language and facial expressions  As a result of timing and travel, face to
are more clearly identified and
face interview can be expensive
understood
 The interviewer can probe for  Interviews can deliver biased
explanations of responses responses
  Stimulus material and visual aids can  Most carefully check the respondent’s
be used to support the interview ability before investing time in the
 Interview length can be considerably interview process
longer since the participant has a
greater commitment to participate
What should you do to prepare yourself to interview someone?
Here are some effective strategies to ponder:
1. Have some background knowledge on the subject matter.
Read about the topic to be discussed so you can interact sensibly.
2. Prepare the questions you want to ask.
Have an idea, beforehand, what kind of information you need. Most resource persons are
busy. Do not waste their time with irrelevant questions and delayed questions. Besides, a
delay between questions results in periods of uncomfortable silence.
3. Have a notebook ready for notes or any recording equipment.
Use a notebook with hard covers so that you can write in it without resting it on a table or
other hard surface. Bring along several pencils or ball pens.
It is best not to write notes during interview. Listen well so you will understand what is
being said. If you do not trust your memory bring a tape recorder or any smartphones, but
first, ask interviewee’s permission to use one. If a recorder is not available, keep your notes
very short ̶ simple key words to serve as a reminder.
4. Remember your manners.
Greet your interviewee politely. Be liberal in your use of please and kindly. After the
interview, thank your interviewee.
If your purpose for the interview is to get information about the person being interviewed
or information about another person, be sure that your questions are not blunt nor too
personal. The interviewee may, himself or herself, volunteer very private information, but
you should never ask questions on sensitive issues that invade the person’s privacy.
Virtual Interview
Virtual Interview is an interview that takes place remotely, sometimes over the
phone, but often using technology like video conferencing and other online communication
platforms. Virtual interviews are often conducted much the same way as face-to-face
interviews. That said, virtual communication requires special considerations and adjustments
due to the limited ability to read body language and facial expressions.
Advantages Disadvantages
 Lower costs  Internet connection issues
 Saving time  Poor video quality or poor mobile
 Can interview remote person/people signals
 Assess communication skills
 Lack of IT savviness
 Less pressure
 Response time limitation

1. Test your technology beforehand

A v i tr u a l i n
Here are effective strategies to set headphones, webcam and microphone on
yourself up for successful virtual your computer, a software program (such as
interview: Google Hangouts, Zoom, Messenger,
Facebook or any online communication platforms) and a reliable internet connection. At least
a day before your virtual interview, check all of your technology to ensure it works
effectively and can be used to communicate effectively. That means having a functional
computer or any smartphone, tablets, and computer that meets technical specifications,
downloading any necessary software and ensuring the connection is strong enough to sustain
streaming video.
In the 10 to 15 minutes before the interview, check your internet connection and sign
in to the video or phone meeting that the interviewer has provided. Turn on the sound and
video to ensure everything is in working order in time for your conversation.
2. Wear your professional attire
In a virtual interview, you should dress the same as you would in a face-to-face
interview. Doing so not only makes you appear professional and excited about the
opportunity, but it will also make you feel more prepared and confident. When an interview
takes place from a remote location like your home, you should expect it to be just as formal
as one that takes place in an office—if you’re unsure, business casual is a good standard to
follow. A great outfit example for men and women is a button-down shirt and blazer with
slacks.\
3. Prepare in advance
As with any interview, you’ll get the best results if you have time to prepare in
advance. Just because you are in front of your computer doesn’t mean you should rely on the
ability to quickly look up for questions or rely on a written talk track to speak directly from.
You should prepare such that you are able to have a natural conversation without clicking
around or reading directly from a script, which can seem rehearsed and unnatural.
4. Limit distractions
The best place to take an interview in your home is a quiet location with few
distractions. Choose a room that is clean and professional-looking so the interviewer can
focus their attention on you and not what is around you. If you don’t have a dedicated office
space, you can also use a bedroom or guest bedroom, your kitchen table or even cleared-out
closet space. Try to place your computer on a table or desk instead of your lap or couch.
Tell people you are sharing space with about the area you’ll be using for your
interview, the time of your interview, and that you and your quiet space will be off-limits
during that time. Respectfully explain that during this time, it is best that the house stays quiet
with limited distractions. If possible, you might also place pets in a designated room during
critical working hours.
5. Use professional body language
Because interviewing via video or phone limits the ability to communicate with body
language, it is important to utilize body language in a clear, professional way. For example, if
you get an answer that is unexpected, make sure to stay poised and take a moment to collect
your feedback/comments.
Sit up straight and ensure your camera is placed such that your face is in the middle of
your screen (not too much blank space above or below your head). In most interviews, you
shake hands with your interviewee at the beginning and the end of the discussion. It's an
important body language cue that helps you establish the relationship. Instead, find other
ways to greet and exude enthusiasm, like smiling and giving a confident wave with eye
contact.
DIALOG/DIALOGUE
In a very simple terms, a
dialog/dialogue is a conversation of two
or more people. Dialogue/dialog is a two-
way communication between persons who
hold significantly differing views on a
subject, with the purpose of learning more
truth about the subject from the other.
 The word derives from the Greek
“dialogos”, which means through (dia) and
the word (logos), or through the meaning
of the word. Literally, then, dialogue is any
communication that uses words to convey
meaning. Dialog/dialogue is a process of
genuine interaction through which human
beings listen to each other deeply enough to
be changed by what they learn. Each makes
a serious effort to take others’ concerns into her or his own picture, even when disagreement
persists. No participant gives up her or his identity, but each recognizes enough of the other’s
valid human claims that he or she will act differently toward the other. It is an open and
inclusive process where communication is based on mutual respect and which main
objectives are: to encourage listening, learning and problem solving.
In the course of dialog processes people come together to build mutual understanding
and trust across their differences, and to create positive outcomes through conversation.
Continuous evaluation of the progress achieved together deepens peoples’ relationships and
builds up their capacity to make mid-course corrections and to tackle new problems or
opportunities as they arise.
Dialog/dialogue is a process of ‘thinking together’, where “thought” includes not
only the products of our conscious intellect but also our feelings, emotions, intentions and
desires. Relationships begin to change when the people involved learn to be open about their
own concerns, expectations, and uncertainties, and when they become ready and able to listen
to the concerns, expectations, and uncertainties of others with the intent of understanding
them.

WHY IS DIALOG/DIALOGUE REQUIRED?

 To present facts of own & to consider facts of
others
 To seek understanding through alternatives
 To reach decisions

Dialog/dialogue is LIKE A VOLLEYBALL…..

Monopoly of dialog/dialogue has NO PLACE in

dialog/dialogue. The ball must be thrown back and
forth.
Participants expect to find things out by examining
ideas and facts from several points of view.

Here’s an example of a dialog/dialogue:

Conversation
Conversation is simply talking to someone else, usually formally or informally. Not only
can conversational skills be learned and developed, but it is surprisingly easy to do so,
especially if you follow some simple rules for dialog/dialogue and conversation:
1. Conversation and Dialog/Dialogue are a Two-Way Street
The first and most important rule of conversation is that it is not all about you, but it’s not
all about the other person either. A monologue, in either direction, is not conversation. Try to
achieve a balance between talking and listening in any conversation. This is where social
media makes life difficult. We’re used to broadcasting our views, and then responding if
others comment. That can feel like the start of a conversation but, when you’re face to face,
it’s not polite to start by broadcasting your views. Instead, try asking a question to establish
common ground. For example: “What do you do?”, or even “Isn’t the weather beautiful?”
This signals your intention to share the conversation.

Everyone likes to be listened to, and to be asked for their views. If the conversation
flags, or you feel that you are talking more than you should, useful questions
include:
“What do you think about this?”
If you are not getting much response, try something like:
“But perhaps you don’t follow [current subject]. What are you interested in?”
2. Be Friendly and Polite
Smiling, and being nice, will take you a long way in conversational terms. Everyone
would rather chat to someone friendly and pleasant. But what are the practical elements of
this?
 Build rapport.
You can build rapport by establishing some common ground and by simply smiling
and using positive and reinforcing body language.
 Be nice.
Don’t say unpleasant things about anyone. After all, the person you’re talking about
could be your new acquaintance’s best friend. And even if they’re not, your new
acquaintance may not relish discussion about someone behind their back (and neither should
you).
 Try to avoid contentious topics on first acquaintance.
It’s fine to talk politics once you know someone a bit better. When you first meet
someone, though, it’s better to stick to neutral ground, which is why so many people talk
about the weather. This is where ‘small talk’ comes in.

The Importance of ‘Small Talk’

‘Small talk’ is, broadly, inconsequential ‘chit-chat’ about minor or uncontentious
issues such as the weather, recent news items or jobs. Some people purport to despise small
talk as being unimportant, or trivial, but it serves a useful function of allowing you to build
rapport and establish common ground without having to invest too much emotion in the
conversation. This may be particularly important for introverts.
  However dull you find someone, it is best not to say so!
Just bring the conversation to a polite close, perhaps by saying something like “I must
just go and catch so-and-so before they go. It’s been really nice to chat to you”, or “Please
excuse me, I promised to help with x and I see they need me now”.
3. Respond to What They are Saying
To respond genuinely to what someone has just said means that you have to listen. You
can’t just switch off, and think about what you’re going to say next. However, if we’re
honest, most of us would admit that we often do just that. It’s important to focus on the other
person, and what they’re saying. You also need to take into account their body language.

If you find it difficult to think of something to say in response, try

using some ‘filler’ sentences, such as:
“That’s just so interesting, you’re really making me think hard!” or
“Goodness, that’s challenging, I need to think about this. I’ve never
thought about it that way.”
Not only does that give you a bit of time to think about the subject
under discussion, but it’s a compliment to the person you’re speaking
with, which is always good.

4. Use Signaling to Help the Other Person

When a conversation is flowing well, it moves naturally from one person to the other.
However, if one or both are finding it more of a struggle to ‘chat’, you may find it helpful to
use ‘signals’ to show the other person that it is their turn to talk.
The most common type of signal is questions. These may be either open or closed.
 Closed questions invite a yes/no answer.
In conversation, they might include “Don’t you agree?”, and “Are you enjoying the
party?” They are not really inviting the other person to do more than nod and agree, rather
than to share the conversation.
 Open questions invite more information.
They open up the conversation to the other person, and invite them to participate. For this
reason, in conversation, they are often called ‘invitations’. Open questions often start
‘How…?’ or ‘Why….?’
5. Create Emotional Connections
Of course it is perfectly possible to conduct a conversation entirely at the level of small
talk, with nothing important being said. But conversation is also a way to explore whether
you wish to know someone better and build a relationship with them. It can therefore be
useful to understand how to use conversation to create and build emotional connections.
The key is sharing appropriate information. That means being prepared to be open about
what interests you, what makes you into you as a person, and inspiring the other person to
share too.

This ‘sharing’ doesn’t have to be big stuff. It can be as simple as:

“It’s so lovely having this beautiful sunshine. It meant I could go canoeing this
weekend and we had such a beautiful paddle.”
That leaves the field open for the other person to say:
“Oh, do you canoe? I used to paddle too. Where did you go?”
“Yes, it’s lovely weather. I went for a walk myself. It’s great to be outside, isn’t it?” or
