Tipe-tipe Komunikasi Mahasiswa Institut Agama Kristen Negeri Tarutung

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the types of communication used by students at the Tarutung State Christian Institute. Communication is an important element in social interaction, especially in an academic environment. In this context, the types of communication can be divided into several categories, namely verbal, nonverbal, written, and visual communication. Verbal communication includes oral and written interactions that occur in class discussions, presentations, and sending messages via email. Nonverbal communication involves facial expressions, body language, and eye contact that can affect understanding between individuals. In addition, written communication functions as a permanent record that supports the learning process, while visual communication uses images and graphics to clarify information. Through this study, it is expected to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of communication among students and its impact on the learning process.
