ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES OF VERBAL COMMUNICATION • More personal and informal/formal.• Makes immediate impact.• Provides opportunity for interaction

and feedback.• Helps us correct our messages

according to the feedback and non-verbal cues from the listener

• It is very fast and non-expensive.

DISADVANTAGES OF VERBAL COMMUNICATION• A word once uttered can’t be taken back.• Impact may be short lived.• It can be forgotten easily.• There is no legal evidence of oral communication.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NONVERBAL, VERBAL AND PARA LANGUAGE• Tone of voice, volume, and pitch are all ways to effectively

communicate verbally. Nonverbal communication includes gestures, facial expressions, body movement, timing, touch, and anything else done without speaking. People seem to notice nonverbal communication more than verbal. Paralanguage refers to non-lexical components of speech such as pitch, tone, intonation, volume, pauses, etc.
