- Abstract
Informal communication has been suppressed and marginalized ever since H.Mchzel and Mikhailov emphasized the importance of paper publications and formal communication. However, informal communication is everywhere in long distance vocational education. It plays an important role in people’s study, work and everyday-life. Informal communication is always essential or even significant in terms of improving formal communication. Vocational education is imperative to the demand for talents in China’s transition from manpower resources country to a talent resources country. Under the condition of limited education investment, it is the best choice to cultivate large quantities of talents by developing long distance vocational education. Communication usually includes both formal communication and informal education. Formal communication comes after books and plays an important role. However, informal communication has been existed ever since the beginning of human beans. Spoken language, gesture and expression are used to express informal communication, but the concept of informal communication has not been formed for a long time.
