Two-way communication<\/b><\/p>

Two-way communication\u00a0involves feedback from the receiver to the sender. This allows the sender to know the message was received accurately by the receiver. Communication is also negotiated which means that the sender and receiver listen to each other, the messages then gather information to respond.<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n
