What is the communication process?

The communication process is a set of acts or stages that must be followed in order to communicate
effectively.

The sender of the communication, the actual message being delivered, the encoding of the message, the
receiver, and the decoding of the message are all involved.

Within the communication process, there are also several routes of communication to consider.

This relates to how a message is delivered.

This can be done through a variety of methods, including speech, audio, video, email, fax, or body
language.

The ultimate purpose of the communication process is to communicate information to an individual or

The sender must select the best option medium in order for the communication process to have worked
successfully.

Communication Process

The communication process consists of several components. Let's take a look.

The communication process has several components that enable the transmission of a message. Here
are the various parts

Sender: This is the person that is delivering a message to a recipient.

Encoding: The creation of a messages (which you want to communicate with another person).

Message: This refers to the information that the sender is relaying to the receiver.

Channel of communication: This is the transmission or method of delivering the message.

Decoding: This is the interpretation of the message. Decoding is performed by the receiver.

Receiver: The receiver is the person who is getting or receiving the message.

Feedback: In some instances, the receiver might have feedback or a response for the sender. This
starts an interaction.

How the communication works.

1. The sender develops an idea to be sent

The beginning of the communication process involves the sender creating an idea that they plan to send to another
person or group of people. Essentially, they're planning the overall subject matter or information they want to
transmit.

2. The sender encodes the message

Once the sender develops an idea, they translate it into a form that can be transmitted to someone else. This means
they transform the thoughts of the information they want to send into a certain format. For example, if you are writing
a letter, you'll translate your idea into words. The message can also be nonverbal, oral or symbolic.

3. The sender selects the channel of communication that will be used

Next, the sender decides how the message will be sent. This involves selecting the most suitable medium for the
message they're relaying. Some communication mediums include speaking, writing, electronic transmission or
nonverbal communication. If you're communicating at work, make sure to select the proper and most professional
channel of communication.

4. The message travels over the channel of communication

After the medium is chosen, the message then begins the process of transmission. The exact process of this will
depend on the selected medium. In order for the message to be properly sent, the sender should have selected the
appropriate medium.
5. The message is received by the receiver

Next, the message is received by the recipient. This step in the communication process is done by hearing the
message, seeing it, feeling it or another form of reception.

6. The receiver decodes the message

The receiver then decodes the sender's message. In other words, they interpret it and convert it into a thought. After
they've done this, they analyze the message and attempt to understand it. The communication process is performed
effectively when the sender and receiver have the same meaning for the transmitted message.

7. The receiver provides feedback, if applicable

Lastly, unless it's a one-way communication, the receiver will provide feedback in the form of a reply to the original
sender of the message. Feedback provides the recipient with the ability to ensure the sender that their message was
properly received and interpreted. Between two people, this is two-way communication.

Let's put all these components together to build a model of the communication process:

A sender encodes information

The sender selects a channel of communication by which to send the message

The receiver receives the message

The receiver decodes the message

The receiver may provide feedback to the sender

However, we could still avoid that there are possible problem to come
to blocked and hindrance a communication. It is called communication
noises – means any barrier to the effective communication process.

TYPES OF NOISE IN  COMMUNICATION

Five Types of noises in communication are:

1. Physical Noise
2. Physiological Noise
3. Psychological Noise
 4. Syntactical Noise

1. Physical Noise in Communication

Physical noise is the external and unnecessary sound that obstacle to effective communication. It is also a communication
disturbance created by the environment. Therefore, physical noise is also known as environmental noise in the communication
process. 

Example of Physical Noise

For example, raining sounds, thunderstorms, horns, outside building sounds, sounds from fans, lights, and windows are the best
example of physical or environmental noise. Besides loud music, barking dogs, noisy conflict nearby, vehicle sounds are also
examples of physical noise. 

2. Physiological Noise in Communication

Physiological noise is a barrier created by the communicator’s physical condition. Usually, physical illness and weakness
produce physical noise and this noise obstacle to effective communication. Example of Physiological Noise

For example, Ela is having headaches; therefore, she can not concentrate in class. Here, headache is a physical illness that barrier
to the listening process of communication.  Apart from that, deafness and blindness are physical weakness or physiological noise
that barriers to listening. Talking too fast or slow and the high or low temperature in the room also generate physiological noise. 

3. Psychological Noise in Communication

Psychological noise is a communication barrier created from the communicator’s psychological factors, for example, values,
beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours. This type of noise interrupts our minds to concentrate on listening. People don’t like to listen or
talk about those topics that make them down or not interesting. 

4. Semantic Noise in Communication

Semantic noise is a communication barrier created from confusion over the meaning of words. It comes from complex,
technical, autochthonous, or grammatical errors in communication. Semantic noise occurred because of different meanings of the
message between the sender and receiver. It also refers to the wrong grammatical sentence that makes the receiver unable to
understand the meaning. Communication scholars term it as a syntactical barrier or noise.

Syntactical noise is a grammatically wrong sentence in the receiver unable to accomplish the proper meaning. Using difficult
language during computer programming is an example of syntactical noise. It is also in contrast to syntactic sugar.
Tips for improving the communication process
Here are some tips to consider to improve your communication skills and the communication process overall:

 Simplify your message: In order to ensure your message is properly understood, you should keep your
language simple and to the point.

 Know your audience: It's also important to consider the audience that will receive your message as well as
their needs and interests.

 Be a good listener: As a communicator, it's important to actively listen to what those around you are saying.
This will ensure that you're sending the right message.

 Ask questions: It's also important to ask good questions to keep the communication flowing. Make sure your
questions are insightful and engaging.

 Take the time to respond: When communicating, it's important to consider how you might reply to a person
to ensure you know what you want to say.

 Consider your body language: If you're communicating through a different medium, it's important to be
mindful of your body language. In addition, be aware of the body language of the person you're
communicating with, as well.

 Maintain eye contact: It's also important to make contact with the person or group you're communicating
with. This will show that you're actively listening to who you're communicating with.

 Clarify your message if needed: If the recipient of your message is unclear about what you're trying to say,
it's important to clarify your message. This will help them to better understand you.
