Communication types

According to Shandorf (2019), mainly communication is classified as verbal/oral communication or non-verbal communication. Verbal/oral communication means face-to-face communication or verbal communication through virtual devices like smartphones, audio conferencing devices like Skype and Zoom. Non-verbal communication can be posture, eye contact, facial expressions, hand movements, body language, and touch etc. Besides, written communication, listening, visual communication can be popular types of communication.

Communication models/theories

Behavioral theory:  this popular theory is provided by a psychiatrist called Dr Jurgen Ruesch. This theory is connected to the social aspects of people engagements.

This system is one way which is a linear process and a sender encodes as well as transmits data and the receiver decodes the message. This type of communication describes a process of communication in which communicators produce social realities within relational, social, and cultural contexts and both accounts for how communication concepts their relationships, realities, and communities.
