3 Communication Modes & Culture = 4 WLES

ES #1Interpersonal Mode

ES #2Interpretive Mode

ES #3Presentational Mode

ES #4Culture

Three Modes of Communication

Interpersonal: Person-to-Person• Initiate, maintain, sustain conversation (oral or written)• Active negotiation of meaning

Interpretive: Listening & Reading• Interpret and respond to received messages• NO active negotiation of meaning with writer or speaker

Presentational: Speaking & Writing• Create, revise, and practice oral or written messages• NO direct opportunity for active negotiation

Activity: Mode Mind Mapping

1. On the Mode Mind Maps around the room, write words, phrases or activities that you associate with each mode of communication:

• Interpersonal Communication Mode

• Interpretive Communication Mode

• Presentational Communication Mode

2. Pick 1 item from a Mode Mind Map that was new information for you and share this learning with a partner.

Activity: Venn Diagram with AEs – 1 of 3

1. Read the assessment example (AE) slips and indicate the mode of communication being practiced by placing the slips on the Venn diagram. Note: Some AEs might incorporate more than one mode of communication.

2. Share out about the placement of 1 AE slip: Where was it placed? Why?
