Lecture 1 Phonetics as a Linguistic Science Plan

Group discussion is a second type of interpersonal communication. It involves three or more people with a common purpose. The purpose may be to solve a common problem, to make a decision, or to answer a question that interests all the members of the group. Each member of the group generally has an opportunity to communicate. Group communication includes such things as committee meetings, seminars, conferences, and workshops. Most group discussions take place in fairly small groups of fewer than fifteen members.
