otherwise, confusion and misunderstanding arise.

• Communication Behavior conveys the indirect message as

manifested in the body language of the communicator.
 Assertive communication
Assertive behavior can express their own needs, desires, ideas and
feelings, while also considering the needs of others.
It indicates ownership of feelings and behaviors without blaming
the other person.
One of the keys to assertive communication is using “I” statements,
such as “I feel frustrated when you are late for a meeting,” or, “I don’t
like having to explain this over and over.”
 Passive Communication
• Passive behavior expresses little or no confidence at all.
• It sends signals of weakness via behaviors, such as poor posture,
a quiet voice, and lack of eye contact.
• This style is replete with an avoidance of expressing opinions
and needs.

“I lose, you win”

 Aggressive communication
• This style is about winning often at someone else’s expense
• An aggressive person believes he/she is important.
• Verbal explosion results in hurting one’s feeling, broken
relationship and unresolved problems.

“I win, you lose”

 Passive-aggressive communication

of both passive and aggressive behaviors.

 Formal and informal language serve different
purposes. The tone, the choice of words and the
way the words are put together vary between
the two styles.
 FORMAL
• Formal language is less personal
than informal language.
• It is used when writing for
professional or academic
purposes like university
assignments.
• Formal language does not use
colloquialisms, contractions or
first person pronouns such as ‘I’
or ‘We’.
INFORMAL
• Informal language is more casual
and spontaneous.
• It is used when communicating
with friends or family either in
writing or in conversation.
• It is used when writing personal
emails, text messages and in some
business correspondence.
• The tone of informal language is
more personal than formal
language.

Interpretation
• Than vary because of differences in pronunciation. If one
says “hit it” instead of heat it” or “she ass” instead of
“she asks”, miscommunication is likely to happen.
• In Philippine language, every vowel is pronounced with a
full, distinct sound. Filipinos pronounce words as they
are written or spelled out making it syllabled-timed and
not stress-timed.
Americans, on the other hand, blend syllables or
sometimes even drop some sounds making the
syllable short.
