V. Procedure:
A. Readings:
Communication is a process of sharing and conveying messages or information from one person to another within and
across channels, contexts, media, and cultures (McCornack, 2014). There is a wide variety of contexts and situations in
which communication can be manifested; it can be a face-to-face interaction, a phone conversation, a group discussion,
a meeting or interview, a letter correspondence, a class recitation, and many others.
Nature of Communication
1. Communication is a process.
2. Communication occurs between two or more people (the speaker and the receiver).
3. Communication can be expressed through written or spoken words, actions (nonverbal), or both spoken words and
nonverbal actions at the same time.
Elements of Communication
Communication is divided into elements which help us better understand its mechanics or process. These elements are
the following:
1. Speaker – the source of information or message
2. Message – the information, ideas, or thoughts conveyed by the speaker in words or in actions
3. Encoding – the process of converting the message into words, actions, or other forms that the speaker understands
4. Channel – the medium or the means, such as personal or non-personal, verbal or nonverbal, in which the encoded
message is conveyed
5. Decoding – the process of interpreting the encoded message of the speaker by the receiver
6. Receiver – the recipient of the message, or someone who decodes the message
7. Feedback – the reactions, responses, or information provided by the receiver
8. Context – the environment where communication takes place
9. Barrier – the factors that affect the flow of communication
