Interpersonal communication is the exchange of information and thoughts between two people using verbal and non-verbal communication.

Interpersonal communication will qualify her to speak, confidently, and appropriately during the occasion.
Small group communication is another form of communication that involves sharing information and feelings with the least number of members. Johanna decides to practice her graduation speech by practicing in front of her two colleagues. Her two colleagues will receive the information, analyze and evaluate the problems, and provide possible solutions. The colleagues will assist her in addressing gaps and give her a range of ideas and backgrounds that will help her clarify her ideas and test her attitude.
Mass communication is an effective form of communication as it aids her to change her behavior, emotion, and attitude.

Johanna gained some confidence and strategize how she will make her speech effective. Through online deliveries, she learned how to deliver her speech without wasting a lot of time.

Public speaking will enhance new social connections before the due graduation date. It will make Johanna understand her content and improve her knowledge.
Dyadic communication is effective in the preparation of her graduation speech. Two people are involved, but there is an exchange of roles the receiver becomes the source, and the source becomes the receiver. Through this form of communication, Johanna will listen to how the other partner would present the same speech, and through this, she will gain some skills that will make her speech effective.
