Notes

Write a note in this area. It's really easy to share wiCommunication in inevitable. Our need for self-expression leads us to communicate not only our thoughts but also our feelings. Communication may be done verbally or non-verbally. A simple yawn from a member of the audience in a public speaking engagement is a non-verbal message sent to the speaker. On the other hand, a phone call inquiring about a certain product is an example of a verbal message.

Communication is understood as the process of meaning-making through a channel or a medium. It comes from the Latin communicare, meaning to share or to make ideas common. The connection that encompasses interaction among partakers is at the center of your learning of communication.


Three Elements in Communication
Understanding the communication process may help you become a better communicator.

1. The sender/ Source
The sender carefully crafts the message. The sender may be anyone: an author of a book, a public speaker in a special occasion or even a traffic enforcer.

2. The medium/Channel
The channel is the means by which a message is conveyed. When we answer a phone call, the phone is the channel. On the other hand, when your parents receive a notification of your absences from school, the channel is a letter. It is the responsibility of both the sender and the receiver to choose the best channel for the interaction.

3. Receiver/ RecipientThe receiver is the person who receives the transmitted message. The receiver may be a part of an audience in a public speaking event, a reader of a letter or a driver who reads road signs. The receiver is expected to listen or read carefully, to be aware of different kinds of sender to jot down information when needed, to provide response and to ask questions for clarification.


Three Steps in Communication
1. MessageThe message is the reason behind any interaction. It is the meaning shared between the sender and the receiver. Messages take many forms. They could mean poems, songs, essays, news articles, road signs and even symbols.

2. Encoding
Encoding is the process of turning thoughts into communication. The encoder uses a 'medium' to send the message — a phone call, email, text message, face-to-face meeting, or other communication tool. The level of conscious thought that goes into encoding messages may vary.

3. Decoding
The decoding of a message is how an audience member is able to understand, and interpret the message. It is a process of interpretation and translation of coded information into a comprehensible form. The audience is trying to reconstruct the idea by giving meanings to symbols and by interpreting messages as a whole.
