== The Shannon-Weaver model of communication is a widely used


communication model that depicts the process of transmitting information
from a sender to a receiver. It consists of five key elements: sender, encoder,
channel, decoder, and receiver. Here's an example of how the Shannon-
Weaver model can be applied to a real-life situation:

Let's say you want to send a message to a friend via email. Here's how the
elements of the Shannon-Weaver model come into play:

1. Sender: You are the sender of the message. You have an idea or information
that you want to communicate to your friend.
2. Encoder: As the sender, you encode your message by converting your
thoughts into written words. You draft an email, carefully choosing your
words and structuring your message.
3. Channel: The email platform you use, such as Gmail or Outlook, serves as
the channel through which your message will be transmitted. You type the
email on your computer or smartphone, and it is sent over the internet.
4. Decoder: Upon receiving the email, your friend becomes the decoder. They
interpret the written words and extract meaning from the message. They
understand the information you intended to convey.
5. Receiver: Your friend is the intended receiver of the message. They receive
the email in their inbox and read it, comprehending the content you shared.

In this example, the sender (you) encodes the message, which is transmitted
through the channel (email platform) to the receiver (your friend). The
receiver decodes the message, understanding the information you intended
to convey. The Shannon-Weaver model emphasizes the importance of
effective encoding, accurate transmission through a channel, and successful
decoding for successful communication.

It's worth noting that the Shannon-Weaver model focuses primarily on the
technical aspects of communication and does not account for factors such as
feedback, context, or noise. Other models, like the transactional model,
consider these elements for a more comprehensive understanding of
communication.

A linear model of communication, also known as the transmission model,


describes communication as a one-way process where a sender transmits a
message to a receiver through a channel. While this model oversimplifies the
complexities of real-life communication, here are a few examples where the
linear model can be applied:

1. Television Broadcasting: In this scenario, a television network acts as the


sender and transmits a pre-recorded or live program through a channel
(television signals) to millions of viewers who act as receivers. The viewers
cannot directly respond to the broadcast, creating a one-way flow of
information.
2. Public Speech: When a speaker delivers a speech to a large audience, they
are the sender of the message. The message is transmitted through the
speaker's voice and body language and is received by the audience. The
audience members do not actively participate in the speech but act as
passive receivers of the information.
3. Newspaper/Magazine Articles: A journalist or writer serves as the sender in
this scenario, crafting an article that is published in a newspaper or
magazine. The readers, who are the receivers, read the article to gain
information or entertainment. There is no direct interaction between the
writer and the readers, exemplifying the one-way nature of communication.
4. Radio Broadcasts: Similar to television broadcasting, radio broadcasts follow
a linear model. The radio station acts as the sender, transmitting audio
content through radio waves. The listeners receive the message but do not
have immediate means to respond, creating a unidirectional flow of
communication.
5. Billboards/Advertisements: When a company places a billboard or advertises
through other visual media, they are the sender of the message. The
message is transmitted visually to the viewers, who act as receivers. The
viewers cannot directly interact with the advertisement, representing a one-
way communication process.

It's important to note that these examples are simplified illustrations of


communication and that real-life communication often involves feedback,
noise, and more complex models that consider the interactive nature of
communication.

*Group2/ Present a pantomime “a teacher discussing with students”


“Group of friends, 2 of them are talking about each other’s summer
vacation”

= = the transactional model of communication is a model that describes


communication as a process of exchanging messages between individuals or
groups. Here are a few examples of how this model can be applied in
different contexts:
 A customer service representative responding to a customer's inquiry over
the phone
 A teacher giving a lecture to a class of students
 A doctor discussing a patient's treatment options with them
 A politician giving a campaign speech to a group of voters
In each of these examples, there is an individual or group sending a message
and an individual or group receiving the message, and there is an exchange
of information taking place. The transactional model of communication helps
to illustrate how communication is a dynamic and ongoing process.

The transactional model of communication suggests that communication is a


dynamic and interactive process where both the sender and the receiver of a
message simultaneously play the roles of sender and receiver. Here are
some examples of the transactional model of communication in real-life
situations:

1. Conversation between friends: When friends engage in a conversation, they


both take turns sending and receiving messages. One person speaks while
the other listens, and then they switch roles. The conversation is constantly
evolving based on the responses and reactions of both individuals.
2. Job interview: During a job interview, both the interviewer and the
interviewee exchange messages. The interviewer asks questions and the
interviewee responds, but it's not a one-way process. The interviewee also
asks questions or seeks clarification, and the interviewer provides feedback
or additional information. The communication is a mutual exchange.
3. Team meeting: In a team meeting, all members participate in the
communication process. They share ideas, provide feedback, ask questions,
and respond to each other's contributions. The communication flows back
and forth among the team members, and everyone has an opportunity to
send and receive messages.
4. Classroom discussion: In a classroom setting, the transactional model of
communication is often evident during a discussion. Students and the
teacher engage in a dialogue, where the students ask questions, share their
thoughts, and respond to the teacher's prompts. The teacher, in turn,
responds to student contributions, provides explanations, and facilitates the
discussion.
5. Online chat or messaging: When two or more people engage in an online
chat or messaging conversation, they typically utilize the transactional
model of communication. Each person sends messages, and the others
respond. The conversation develops as messages are exchanged, and
participants adjust their messages based on the responses they receive.

These examples highlight how communication is an interactive and mutually


influential process, where both parties play active roles in sending and
receiving messages. The transactional model recognizes the importance of
feedback, context, and simultaneous encoding and decoding of messages.

model in which interactions in two directions are considered together, for
example from one person to another and back,
or from one subsystem to another and back.

(Aristotle Model/ Speaker, Speech, Occasion, Audience and Effect)
Aristotle's model of communication, often referred to as the "sender-
message-receiver model," outlines the basic elements involved in the
process of communication. According to this model, communication involves
a sender who encodes a message and transmits it to a receiver, who then
decodes the message and provides feedback. Here's an example of how
Aristotle's model can be applied to a real-life situation:

Imagine a teacher delivering a lecture in a classroom setting. In this


scenario:

1. Sender: The teacher acts as the sender in this communication model. They
have knowledge and information they want to convey to the students.
2. Message: The message in this case is the lecture itself. The teacher
organizes their thoughts, selects appropriate content, and encodes the
information into spoken words and visual aids (e.g., PowerPoint slides).
3. Receiver: The students are the receivers in this communication model. They
are the intended audience of the teacher's message.
4. Channel: The channel of communication refers to the medium through which
the message is transmitted. In this case, the channel is primarily oral, as the
teacher speaks directly to the students in the classroom. Visual aids, such as
slides or whiteboards, may also be used as additional channels to support
the verbal message.
5. Decoding: The students receive the message from the teacher and decode it
by processing the spoken words and visual information. They interpret and
understand the content based on their prior knowledge and engagement
with the material.
6. Feedback: Feedback is an essential component of the communication
process. In this example, students provide feedback through various means,
such as asking questions, participating in class discussions, or taking notes.
Their feedback allows the teacher to gauge their understanding and adjust
their teaching approach if necessary.
7. Noise: Noise refers to any interference or barriers that may affect the clarity
or reception of the message. In the classroom, noise could include
distractions, such as external sounds, students' personal thoughts, or
technical issues with audiovisual equipment.

By applying Aristotle's model of communication to this classroom scenario,


we can see how the teacher, as the sender, transmits a message through
verbal and visual channels to the students, who then decode the information
and provide feedback, completing the communication cycle.

-- For Schramm, communication is about sharing information or having a


common attitude towards signs. His model is based on three basic
components:
a source, a destination, and a message. The process starts with an idea in
the mind of the source.
The Schramm model of communication, also known as the Interactive Model
of Communication, describes communication as a process that involves a
sender and a receiver who exchange messages in a continuous loop. Here
are some real-life examples that illustrate the Schramm model of
communication:

1. Conversation between friends: Imagine two friends sitting in a coffee shop


and having a conversation. One friend speaks (sends a message) while the
other listens (receives the message). Then, the roles switch, and the other
friend becomes the sender while the first friend becomes the receiver. The
conversation continues in a back-and-forth manner, with both friends
encoding and decoding messages, providing feedback, and adjusting their
communication accordingly.
2. Telephone conversation: When two individuals talk on the phone, one person
speaks into the receiver (sending the message), while the other person
listens through the earpiece (receiving the message). They take turns
speaking and listening, with both parties actively participating in the
communication process. They provide feedback, seek clarification, and make
adjustments in their communication to ensure mutual understanding.
3. Classroom discussion: In a classroom setting, the teacher acts as the sender,
conveying information through lectures or discussions. The students receive
the messages and respond by asking questions, seeking clarification, or
providing input. The teacher, in turn, adjusts their communication based on
the students' responses, creating an interactive communication loop.
4. Online chat or instant messaging: When people engage in online chats or
instant messaging, they exchange messages in a manner similar to face-to-
face conversations. One person sends a message, and the other person
receives and responds to it. The conversation continues with both parties
actively participating, providing feedback, and adapting their communication
based on the ongoing interaction.
5. Television talk show: In a television talk show, the host acts as the sender,
interviewing guests or discussing various topics. The viewers receive the
messages through their television sets and may provide feedback by sending
messages or calling into the show. The host acknowledges the feedback and
adjusts the conversation accordingly, creating an interactive communication
process.

These examples demonstrate how communication involves a continuous


exchange of messages between senders and receivers, with both parties
encoding and decoding messages, providing feedback, and adapting their
communication based on the ongoing interaction. The Schramm model
emphasizes the importance of feedback and the dynamic nature of
communication in real-life situations.

Sure! Here are some examples of real-life situations that demonstrate the
interactive model of communication:

1. Group Discussion: In a business meeting, a team of colleagues gathers to


discuss a new project. They engage in a two-way communication process,
where each person shares ideas, listens to others' perspectives, asks
questions, and responds to the opinions presented. The discussion evolves
through feedback, clarification, and negotiation until a consensus is reached.
2. Customer Service: A customer calls a helpline to inquire about a product. The
customer service representative actively listens to the customer's query,
asks relevant questions to understand the issue, and provides clear and
concise information. The interaction continues with feedback from the
customer, who may seek clarification or express satisfaction or
dissatisfaction with the response.
3. Classroom Interaction: In a classroom setting, a teacher delivers a lesson on
a particular topic. Students actively participate by asking questions, seeking
clarification, and providing their insights. The teacher responds to their
queries, encourages discussions, and adjusts the teaching approach based
on the students' understanding and feedback.
4. Job Interview: During a job interview, the interviewer asks questions to
assess the candidate's qualifications and suitability for the role. The
candidate responds, provides examples, and asks questions about the
position and company. The conversation becomes a back-and-forth
exchange, with both parties seeking information and evaluating each other.
5. Personal Relationships: In a romantic relationship, partners engage in
constant communication. They express their feelings, share experiences,
listen to each other's concerns, and provide support. Through active
listening, empathetic responses, and feedback, they maintain a healthy and
interactive communication process.
6. Public Debate: In a televised debate between political candidates, they
engage in a structured interaction. Each candidate presents their views,
counters opposing arguments, and responds to questions from the
moderator and audience. The exchange involves persuasion, rebuttal, and
attempts to influence the viewers' opinions.

These examples illustrate how the interactive model of communication


involves continuous feedback, two-way flow of information, and active
participation from all parties involved. It highlights the importance of
listening, responding, and adapting based on the ongoing interaction.
