Oral Communication

The document defines communication and its key elements. Communication is the sharing of messages between people using various channels. It involves a speaker, message, encoding, channel, decoding, receiver, feedback, and context. The communication process occurs as the speaker generates an idea, encodes and transmits a message, which the receiver decodes and provides feedback on. Models include the linear Shannon-Weaver model and more interactive transaction model. Communication serves functions like control, social interaction, and information sharing. Effective communication demonstrates qualities such as completeness, conciseness, clarity and courtesy. Barriers can include emotions, jargon, and noisy environments.

 The receiver sends/provides feedback

 MODELS OF COMMUNICATION
A. SHANNON-WEAVER MODEL
=mother of all communication models
=depicts communication as a linear/one way process
=without the feedback
1) SOURCE-producer of message
2) TRANSMITTER-encoder of message into signals
3) CHANNEL-signals adapted for transmissions
4) RECEIVER-decoder of message from the signals
5) DESTINATION
B. TRANSACTION MODEL
=2 way process w/the inclusion of feedback as one element
=more interactive
