Describe the concept of a dialogue, as compared to a monologue. Explain how to improve the dialogue process. How would you rate your abilities at dialogue?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: In dialogue each person is both speaker and listener, sender and receiver. It’s conversation in which there is deep concern for the other person and for the relationship
between the two. Monologic communication is the opposite side: In monologue one person speaks and the other listens— there’s no real interaction between participants. The monologic communicator is focused only on his or her own goals and has no real concern for the listener’s feelings or attitudes.
