Face-to-face communication is appropriate when there is requirement of an individual to monitor facial expressions of another individual/group of individuals in communication. This is because there can be situations when the facial expressions might be important to find out whether the individual is actually or genuinely meaning what the individual is saying or not. There can be situations when an individual might pretend to communicate what is not present in the heart and mind of the individual. In such a situation, face-to-face communication can work effectively to find out the actual intentions of the other individual or individuals in communication. The body language/body languages of the individual or group of individuals in communication can be important to be monitored by listeners in some situations.
