Oral Communication in Context

FUNDAMENTALS OF
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(McCornak, 2014).
Nature of Communication
1.Communication is a process.
Communication as a process means it is a step by
step activity and it is essentially a two-way process
that involves the active participation of both the
sender and receiver. It is the act or process of using
words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or
exchange information or to express your ideas,
thoughts, feelings, etc., to someone else.
Nature of Communication
2. Communication is much more of an ART
than a science.
There is no right or wrong way to
communicate – no set of absolute rules to
be followed but there are underlying
principles to guide us into effective
communication.
Nature of Communication
3. Communication has a sender and receiver.
Communication occurs between two or more people
acting as the speaker or the receiver of the message.
In other words, it is a two-way process of reaching
mutual understanding, in which participants do not
only exchange (encode-decode)information, news,
ideas and feelings but also create and share meaning.
Nature of Communication
4. Communication is verbal or non-verbal.
Communication can be expressed through written or
spoken words (verbal) or actions (non-verbal) of both
spoken words and nonverbal actions at the same
time. Communication is not all about sending or
receiving facts in words. It does involve ideas and
emotions that are expressed through signs,
symbols and gestures.
Nature of Communication
5. Communication is inevitable.
Inevitability means communication is taking place
even when someone does not want or intend to
communicate. This “does not want to communicate”
feeling of someone actually does communicate
something. What does this mean? It simply means
that you cannot avoid communicating. Why?
Nature of Communication
6. Communication is irreversible.
This means that what you have said can never be unsaid.
Irreversibility happens the very minute you click the “OK”
button for a comment or post on your social media and
that it would be too late to take it back when a lot of
people have already reacted, and commented to it. The
same thing when you perhaps throw a hurting or offensive
word to your enemy because of your anger.
Nature of Communication
7. Communication is Unrepeatable.
Unrepeatability means that an act of
communication can never be duplicated. We
may say the same thing over and over again but
the effect of what you said the second or third
or fourth time will not be the same as the first
time you said it.
