Process of Communication
The process of communication involves the exchange of information between two or more
people. It follows several steps to ensure that the message is properly understood.

Steps in the Communication Process:

1. Sender (Communicator):

The person who starts the communication.

Thinks about the message they want to share.

2. Encoding:

The sender converts their thoughts into words, symbols, or gestures.

Example: Writing an email, speaking, or using body language.

3. Message:

The actual information, idea, or feeling being communicated.

Example: A question, an instruction, or a greeting.

4. Medium (Channel):

The method used to send the message.

Example: Talking face-to-face, writing a text, sending an email, or using sign

language.

5. Receiver (Listener):

The person who receives and interprets the message.

Example: A friend listening to you, a customer reading your email.

6. Decoding:

The receiver understands the message based on their knowledge, experience, and
perception.

Example: If someone says "Good morning!" the listener understands it as a greeting.

7. Feedback:

The receiver responds to the message, showing if they understood it correctly.

Example: Replying to a text, nodding in agreement, or asking for clarification.

8. Noise (Interference):

Any barrier that disturbs the communication process.

3. Correctness: Use correct language, grammar, and facts.

4. Courtesy: Be polite and respectful in communication.

5. Active Listening: Pay full attention and show interest in the conversation.

6. Feedback: Ensure the receiver has understood the message correctly.

Conclusion
Communication is a two-way process that requires both the sender and receiver to
understand each other clearly. By following these steps and essentials, communication can
be more effective and meaningful.

 11) EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF ANALYSING AUDIENCE
AND LOCATE

GIVE ME IN EASY AND UNDERSTANDABLE LANGUAGE

Importance of Analyzing Audience and Location in a Presentation

Before giving a presentation, it is important to understand who you are speaking to and
where you will be presenting. This helps in making the presentation effective, engaging, and
relevant.

1. Analyzing the Audience

Knowing your audience helps in shaping your content, language, and delivery style.

Why is it Important?

Relevance: Helps in choosing information that the audience finds useful.

Engagement: Allows you to connect better by using examples they relate to.

Effectiveness: Helps in using the right tone, words, and visuals.

How to Analyze Your Audience?

Who are they? (Students, professionals, general public, etc.)

What do they know? (Are they beginners or experts on the topic?)

What do they expect? (Do they want detailed data or just a simple overview?)

Example:

If speaking to business professionals about marketing, use industry-specific terms and

statistics. But for students, use simple explanations and real-life examples.

2. Analyzing the Location

Understanding the location helps in preparing for the setup and delivery style.

Why is it Important?

Comfort: Knowing the space helps in adjusting movement and positioning.

Technology Check: Ensures that the microphone, projector, or computer works well.

Audience Size: Helps in planning how to interact, whether it’s a small group or a large
hall.

How to Analyze the Location?

Visit the venue in advance.

Check seating arrangement (small room vs. large auditorium).

Test equipment (microphone, slides, lighting).

Example:

A small meeting room allows for casual interaction, while a large conference hall may require
a microphone and bigger visuals.

Conclusion
Analyzing the audience and location helps in delivering a well-prepared, smooth, and
impactful presentation. It ensures that your message is clear, relevant, and engaging for
everyone in the room.

12) WRITE SHORT NOTES ON ‘THE AIR-STREAM PROCESS’

GIVE ME IN EASY AND UNDERSTANDABLE LANGUAGE

Short Note on ‘The Air-Stream Process’

The Air-Stream Process is how air moves through the vocal system to produce speech
sounds. It is essential for speaking and pronouncing words correctly.

Types of Air-Stream Mechanisms:

1. Pulmonic Air-Stream Mechanism:

The most common type, where air is pushed from the lungs.

Used in most languages for normal speech sounds.

Example: Saying words like "hello" or "book."

2. Glottalic Air-Stream Mechanism:

Air is pushed or pulled by the movement of the glottis (the vocal cords area).

Creates special sounds called ejectives and implosives.

Example: Some African and Native American languages use these sounds.

3. Velaric Air-Stream Mechanism:

Air is moved using the tongue and the roof of the mouth.

15/17
 Produces "click" sounds.

Example: Click sounds in some African languages like Zulu.

Conclusion
The air-stream process is the foundation of speech production. Different languages use
different air movements to create unique sounds, making speech diverse and interesting.

13) WRITE SHORT NOTES ON ‘THE PHONATION PROCESS’

GIVE ME IN EASY AND UNDERSTANDABLE LANGUAGE

Short Note on ‘The Phonation Process’

The Phonation Process is how sound is produced in the voice box (larynx) using the
vibration of the vocal cords. It is an important part of speech production.

How It Works:
1. Air from the lungs passes through the vocal cords.

2. The vocal cords vibrate to create sound waves.

3. Different vibrations change the pitch and tone of the voice.

Types of Phonation:
1. Voiced Sounds:

The vocal cords vibrate.

Example: Sounds like b, d, g, z, v (as in "buzz" and "dog").

2. Voiceless Sounds:

The vocal cords do not vibrate.

Example: Sounds like p, t, k, s, f (as in "cat" and "fish").

3. Whispered Sounds:

Vocal cords are partly closed, creating a soft, breathy sound.

Conclusion:
The phonation process is essential for speech, as it helps produce different sounds and
tones. The way our vocal cords vibrate affects the clarity, loudness, and quality of our voice.

16/17
 14) WRITE SHORT NOTES ON ‘THE ARTICULATORY PROCESS’

GIVE ME IN EASY AND UNDERSTANDABLE LANGUAGE

Short Note on ‘The Articulatory Process’

The Articulatory Process is how speech sounds are formed using different parts of the
mouth and vocal tract. It helps in producing clear and distinct sounds when we speak.

How It Works:
1. Air from the lungs passes through the vocal cords.

2. Different speech organs (tongue, lips, teeth, palate, etc.) shape the air to create specific
sounds.

Main Articulators (Speech Organs):

1. Lips: Used for sounds like p, b, m (Example: "pat," "bat," "man").

2. Teeth: Help in sounds like t, d, s, z (Example: "tea," "zip").

3. Tongue: Moves in different positions for sounds like l, r, k, g (Example: "lake," "go").

4. Palate (Roof of Mouth): Helps with sounds like sh, ch (Example: "shoe," "cheese").

Types of Articulatory Movements:

1. Plosive (Stops): Air is blocked and released (Example: p, t, k – "pen," "top").

2. Fricative: Air passes through a narrow gap (Example: f, s, v – "fish," "sip").

3. Nasal: Air goes through the nose (Example: m, n – "man," "nose").

Conclusion:
The articulatory process is essential for clear speech. Different parts of the mouth work
together to create the sounds we use in everyday communication.
