 What Is It

Dyadic Communication refers to communication between two individuals who are

responding to each other to simultaneously influence and be influenced, which is a part of
developing social relationship.

Likewise, a dyad, which is an encounter or conversation between two persons, is considered

as the basic form of interpersonal communication.

FORMS OF DYADIC COMMUNICATION

1. Conversation is the most common form of dyadic communication. It may be defined

as a friendly and usual informal talk between two people who exchange their views and ideas.

2. Dialogue is the most personal and intimate form of dyadic communication. It is a talk of any
kind between you and your friend that brings magic, eradicating the factors which divide or
hinder communication between the two of you.

3. Interview is a form of dyadic communication that is considered a two-way process where both
parties alternately talk and listen. It is a conversation with a purpose which aims to help the
interviewee to understand and put into a larger context the interpersonal, social and cultural
aspects of the environment.

Interviewer- a person who obtains information from another by asking a series of questions
Interviewee- the one who is interviewed

Types of Interview

a. Motivational Interview- involves multiple objectives such as employment screening,

creating stories, counseling, receiving complaints and connecting.

b. Structured Interview- involves rapport building which is created by a warm and positive
climate which reduces anxiety and defensiveness, for it is conducted by the interviewer to

My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.

On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Pray for all those that hapless have died,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight, For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need. And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain

I die just when I see the dawn break, An d when t he d ar k night wr a p s t he gr av eyar d ar o un d
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; Wit h only t he de a d in t heir v igil t o se e
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, Br ea k n ot my r e p os e or t he m yst er y pr of o un d

From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free; That m y ash es m ay c ar p et ear t hly f l oor ,
No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye. Bef or e int o not hi ngne ss at l ast t hey ar e bl own.

Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, The n will o bliv i on br in g t o m e no car e
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; As ov er t hy v ales an d plai ns I swe ep;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; Thr o b bing an d cle ans e d in t hy s pac e an d air
