Explaining the Process

of Communication
LESSON 3
The Elements of Communication
• Speaker
• Message
• Listener
• Channels
• Response
• Feedback
• “Noise”
• Communicative Situation
1. Speaker
- The first element of the communication
process.
- Chooses his/her purpose, crafts the message
accordingly, and decides how to deliver it.
- Speaker might not be obvious: both
participants alternate as Speaker.
- Everyone can become Speaker from time to
time (but not at the same time!)
2. Message
- What needs to be delivered or imparted to
somebody else.
- The central process of communication because
the point of communicating is to say
“something”.
- Message to be sent is based on why the Speaker
wants to say it (to inform or to persuade), what
the Speaker wants to say, and how the Speaker
wants to say it.
3. Listener
- Receives the Message
- Even if the Speaker is good and the message is
beautiful, if there is no Listener or the Listener is
not paying attention, then the communication
fails.
- Reacts to the message – by clapping, nodding,
replying, asking a return question, following the
speaker, falling asleep, or walking out.
4. Channels
- The means by which the message is sent.
- Five channels: ears, eyes, skin, mouth, and nose
(via senses).
- Messages are first received by through ears by
hearing, while gestures and facial expressions are
received by the eyes through seeing. The skin,
mouth, and nose are not the main pathways for
sending message, but they are still crucial in the
imparting and receiving the messages.
5. Response
- The only way the Speaker knows that the message
has been received.
- Based on the interpretation of the Message by
the Listeners.
- If the interpretation is positive, the response is
positive – say yes nod their heads, smile, or clap
their hands.
- If the interpretation is negative, the response is
negative – frown, boo, refuse to clap, walkout, or
walk away.
6. Feedback
- The result of monitoring by the Speaker of the
Listener’s Response
- Listener may respond positively or negatively so
the Speaker needs to watch out for this Response
to know if the Message was effectively imparted
or not.
- Making sure of what the Feedback is will help the
Speaker in continuing with the next Message.
7. “Noise”
- Any barrier in communication
a. Physical noise – actual noise such as loud music or
the irritating engine of motorcycle.
b. Physiological noise – when the body becomes the
hindrance to good communication.
c. Psychological noise – one is thinking deeply about
something or suffering from an emotional condition
(sadness, depression, confusion).
8. Communicative Situation
- Two components:
a. Physical Location – usually chosen for the
purpose it will serve.
ex. Classroom that can be used for a meeting, an
auditorium which can be transformed into a theater
for a play.

b. Psychological Setting – depends on the


participants.
ex. Classroom is for teaching, but PTA holds its
meeting there.
As illustrated by the models of communication introduced in Lesson 2, these elements are
the present in all of our communication. They combine, interact, and are intertwined in the
process of communication in the process of communication. Everything proceeds smoothly
when the elements of communication work properly.
