This lesson defines the three modes of communication: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. You'll learn what sets each mode apart by exploring various examples.
What Is a Mode of Communication?
Jess and her classmates are studying speeches. After reading about persuasive speeches in their textbooks, they each wrote a speech to present to the class. Jess was worried about her presentation. Before giving her speech she took one of her classmates aside and said, 'I'm not sure if I'm prepared.' Her classmate laughed and said, 'C'mon Jess. You're always ready.' A few minutes later, Jess took her place in front of the class and presented the argument that local hunters are a valuable link in the chain of animal and habitat conservation. Afterwards, she took her seat with a feeling of relief.
Jess doesn't know it, but she just engaged in three modes of communication. She read about persuasive speech-making, conversed with her classmate, and presented a speech to the class. Let's dig a little deeper into the different modes of communication and explore how they work.

Interpersonal communication
Interpretive communication
