Communication is a skill that you can learn. It is like riding a bicycle or typing.

If you are
willing to work at it, you can improve the quality of every part of your life.

WEEK 2

CHAPTER 1. COMMUNICATION: PROCESS, PRINCIPLES AND ETHICS


Learning outcomes:
Describe the nature, elements, and functions of verbal and non-verbal
communication in various and multicultural context.

LESSON 1: Definition of Communication, Its Elements and Communication Models


We, people do communicate from time to time. Whether we speak or not, we still communicate
through verbal and non-verbal. Most of our time is spent in communicating through different forms
with different purposes. We cannot deny the fact that sometimes our messages are being
interpreted or being quoted wrong. This maybe because on the manner of delivery, the text
message that is being sent, the memes that is being included in the message and sometimes
capitalization also became an issue. How do we absorb the message of the sender? Do we analyze
carefully the message or do we give our speedy reply? These are the questions that we need to
understand in the process of communication for us to know if communication is attained and why
there are some miscommunication that arises.
Communication will be defined through different situations, purposes and also the factors
that affect interaction. Different kinds of communication and different models will be the focus in
this lesson.

Communication is the process of sending and receiving messages through verbal or


nonverbal means, including speech, or oral communication; writing and graphical presentations
(Nordquist, 2019).It is a simultaneous sharing and creating of meaning through human symbolic
interaction.(cited in Padilla, et.al., 2018, p 2) . Communication happens through verbal and non-
verbal. One can interact through words and speaking –verbal communication and one can
communicate through actions, facial expressions, eye to eye contact, and even hand gestures-non-
verbal communication.

The process of interpersonal


communication

1. Sender
The sender or the communicator creates the message and conveys it to the receiver. He is the source
and the one who starts the communication

2. Message

It is the information that is being generated by the speaker. This is where the meaning is shared
between the sender and the receiver.

3. Encoding

It means to convert the idea or thoughts into verbal or non-verbal symbols that can be understood
by the receiver of the message. Code is the system of symbol, sign or letters used to represent the
secret meaning.

4. Media/ Channel

It is the manner in which the encoded message is transferred. The message may be transmitted both
or written. The medium of communication includes telephone, internet, post, fax, e-mail, etc.

5. Decoding

It is the process of converting the symbols encoded by the sender. After decoding the message is
received by the receiver.

6. Receiver

He is the person who is last in the chain and for whom the message was sent by the sender. Once the
receiver receives the message and understands it in proper perspective and acts according to the
message, only then the purpose of communication is successful.

7. Feedback

Once the receiver confirms to the sender that he has received the message and understood it, the
process of communication is complete.

8. Noise/ Interference

It refers to any obstruction that is caused by the sender, message or receiver during the process of
communication. For example, bad telephone connection, faulty encoding, faulty decoding, inattentive
receiver, poor understanding of message due to prejudice or inappropriate gestures, emotions,
language used and even the environment.
MODELS OF COMMUNICATION

1. Linear Model- It is a one-way process of


transmitting information between the
sender and the receiver. The success of
communication in this model depends
on how the receiver absorbs the
message. Sucessful communication will message
be seen as to how the receiver perceived
the message. In this model, the receiver
has no chance to give feedback to the
sender’s message. (Alejandro, et.al., Sender
2018) This is also known as the Receive
Aristotle’s model of communication. r

2. Interactional Model- It is a two-way


process of communication where
encoding and decoding of the message
is involved. This is also known as
Schramm's model of communication
which is used in interpersonal
communication. Each person is both
sender and receiver, so there must be
interpretation of the message on each
turn. The interpreted data is known as
information. This makes
communication effective but might
cause problems too as the message sent
after encoding might not be the same
when decoded by the receiver. This
model can be described as producing
exchanges of meanings within physical
and behavioral settings.
3. Transactional Model- It highlights the
continuous flow of communicative
interaction through sending and
receiving messages among the
participants (Mercado, 2018). This
recognizes that communication is a
simultaneous process and therefore
switched both the terms “sender” and
“receiver” to “communicator. In the
transactional model, a sender
represents the individual who has
important information that needs to
reach someone else.
