This document discusses different types of speech contexts: intrapersonal communication which occurs within one's self; interpersonal communication which occurs between two people or in small groups; public communication which involves delivering a message to a larger audience; and mass communication which uses media like television, radio, and the internet. The objectives are to differentiate between these contexts, explain the importance of communication skills, and practice effective interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. Examples are given of each context type to illustrate when they would be used.
