COMMUNICATION
Communication is a process of sharing and conveying
messages or information from one person to another within
and across channels, contexts, media, and cultures
(McCornack, 2014). There is a wide variety of contexts and
situations in which communication can be manifested; it
can be a face-to-face interaction, a phone conversation,
a group discussion, a meeting or interview, a letter
correspondence, a class recitation, and many others.
Nature of Communication
1. Communication is a process.
2. Communication occurs between two or
more people (the speaker and the receiver).
3. Communication can be expressed through
written or spoken words, actions (nonverbal),
or both spoken words and nonverbal actions
at the same time.
Elements of
Communication
1. Speaker – the source of information or message
2. Message – the information, ideas, or thoughts conveyed by the speaker in words or in actions
3. Encoding – the process of converting the message into words, actions, or other forms that the
speaker understands
4. Channel – the medium or the means, such as personal or non-personal, verbal or nonverbal, in
which the encoded message is conveyed
5. Decoding – the process of interpreting the encoded message of the speaker by the receiver
6. Receiver – the recipient of the message, or someone who decodes the message
7. Feedback – the reactions, responses, or information provided by the receiver
8. Context – the environment where communication takes place
9. Barrier – the factors that affect the flow of communication
Models of Communication
Shannon-Weaver Model
Known as the mother of all communication models, the
Shannon-Weaver model (1949) depicts communication as a
linear or one-way process consisting of five elements: a source
(producer of message); a transmitter (encoder of message into
signals); a channel (signals adapted for transmission); a receiver
(decoder of message from the signal); and a destination.
This model, however, has been criticized for missing one
essential element in the communication process: feedback.
Without feedback, the speaker will not know whether the
receiver understands the message or not.
Shannon-Weaver Model
Transaction Model
Unlike the Shannon-Weaver Model, which is a one-way process, the Transaction
Model is a two-way process with the inclusion of feedback as one element.

7. Correctness
Correctness in grammar eliminates negative
impact on the audience and increases the
credibility and effectiveness of the message.
Barriers to Communication
There are instances when miscommunication and
misunderstanding occur because of certain barriers. To
become an effective communicator, you should
recognize these barriers that hinder the communication
process. This will enable you to control the situation, reset
conditions, and start anew. The table below presents some
barriers to effective communication with corresponding
solutions.
