List out elements of communication?

The elements of communication are:

Sender/Encoder: The person or entity who initiates the communication and creates the message to be
conveyed.

Message: The information, idea, or thought that is being conveyed by the sender through a medium.

Medium/Channel: The mode of communication used to transmit the message, such as face-to-face
conversation, email, text message, phone call, or social media platform.

Receiver/Decoder: The person or entity who receives the message and interprets it.

Feedback: The response or reaction of the receiver to the message, which provides confirmation to the
sender that the message has been understood or requires further clarification.

Context: The situation, environment, or background that surrounds the communication and affects its
meaning and interpretation.

Noise: Any interference or obstacle that affects the transmission or reception of the message, such as
physical noise, distractions, or language barriers.

Effective communication requires careful consideration and management of these elements to ensure
clear and accurate transmission and understanding of the message.
How the communications are classified?
Communications can be classified in several ways based on different criteria. Here are some common
classifications of communication:

One-way communication: Communication that flows in one direction only, from the sender to the
receiver, without any feedback or response.

Two-way communication: Communication that involves an exchange of messages between the sender
and receiver, with feedback and response.

Verbal communication: Communication that involves the use of spoken or written words to convey a
message.

Non-verbal communication: Communication that involves the use of body language, gestures, facial
expressions, and tone of voice to convey a message.

Interpersonal communication: Communication that occurs between two or more people in a face-to-
face setting.

Intercommunication: Communication that occurs between different departments, units, or groups

within an organization.

Intra-communication: Communication that occurs within a single department or unit of an organization.

Mass communication: Communication that reaches a large audience through mass media channels such
as television, radio, newspapers, and the internet.

Formal communication: Communication that follows a prescribed or structured format, such as official
announcements, reports, or memos.

Informal communication: Communication that occurs spontaneously or casually between people,

without any prescribed structure or format.
To make the classroom communication more effective what should the instructor
ensure?
To make classroom communication more effective, an instructor should ensure the following:

Clarity of message: The instructor should ensure that the message they are conveying is clear and easy
to understand. The instructor should use simple language and avoid using jargon or technical terms that
students may not be familiar with.

Active listening: The instructor should actively listen to students when they are speaking and encourage
them to express their opinions and ask questions. This helps to create a two-way dialogue between the
instructor and students, which can enhance understanding and retention of the material.

Use of visual aids: The instructor should use visual aids such as charts, diagrams, and videos to
supplement verbal communication. This can help to reinforce key concepts and make the material more
engaging and memorable.

Non-verbal communication: The instructor should be mindful of their non-verbal communication, such
as eye contact, facial expressions, and body language. This can help to create a positive and engaging
classroom environment.

Feedback: The instructor should provide regular feedback to students on their progress and
performance. This helps to motivate students and improve their understanding of the material.

Respectful communication: The instructor should ensure that all communication is respectful and
inclusive. This helps to create a positive and supportive learning environment for all students, regardless
of their backgrounds or experiences.

List out 7CS of communication?

7Cs of communication are as follows:

Clear: Use short, familiar, and conversational words. Construct effective sentences using simple
language.

Complete: Answer all the questions, give examples and use illustrative visual aids. Check for the 5W's
and 1H (What, Why, When, Which, Who, How).

Correct: Use the correct level of language and relevant figures. Avoid communal, religious, or regional
matters that could cause offense.

Concise (Brief): Omit confusing messages, avoid unnecessary repetition, and include only related facts.
Organize for effectiveness.
Courteous: Be sincere, appreciative, tactful, and thankful. Omit irritating words that could hurt others.

Concrete: Use specific facts and figures. Put action into verbal communication. Choose words that build
an image. Be willing to grant apologies or acceptance when necessary.

Candid: Be willing to speak and accept the trainee's viewpoint. Be frank in your communication.

State the types of listening?

There are four types of listening:

Comprehensive (Informational) Listening In this type, we listen for getting some information. Listening
to railway or flight announcements or listening to the teacher's lectures, listening for any kind of
information will come under this category. The content of the message is very important.

Critical (Evaluative) Listening As you listen to the message, you don't just get the information, you also
judge the message. You evaluate using your own critical thinking skill and understand the message
based on your thinking. Listening to questions in an interview fall under this category.

Appreciative (Aesthetic) Listening This type of listening is basically listening for pleasure. Listening to
songs or some kind of pleasure falls under this category.

Therapeutic (Empathetic) Listening Sometimes we listen not for getting information or pleasure. Being
social beings, we need to interact with other people. At times, we end up listening to other people's
problems.
