B. Presentation
1. Motivation
- Before we proceed to our main topic this
morning. I am going to teach you a game
that would help you to build your
vocabulary and encourage competition in
the classroom even though it is a virtual
class room.
- In this game you will also be able to
practice speaking and listening skills.
 Why use it?
 For vocabulary, speaking and Students: Yes, sir!
listening.

C. Discussion proper
- Okay, class our lesson for today is about
the stages of communication.
- What are the stages of communication?
- These are the
 Sender
 Official Message
 Encoding
 The transmission through choice Channel
and Medium
  Decoding and understanding
 Receiver and the reception
 Response and Feedback
 Any noise
- And that is the eight (8) stages of
communication.
- Again what are the eight stages of
communication?
- Very good everyone. Students:
- Sender
- Official Message
- But before that let us first tackle the - Encoding
meaning of communication. - The transmission through
- Communication is the imparting or choice Channel and
exchanging of information or news or by Medium
means of sending or receiving - Decoding and
information, such as telephone lines or understanding
computers. - Receiver and the
- Okay, now let’s start by defining the reception
stages of communication one by one - Response and Feedback
starting with the sender followed by the - Any noise
message, encoding, channel and medium,
decoding and understanding, receiver and
the reception, response and feedback and
finally the any noise.

1. The Sender

This is the first stage through which the transmission

of information takes place. And during this stage,
there is the sender whose main task is to generate the
message and ensure that the message reaches the
receiver through the process of transmission.

2. Official Message

This is the second stage of the communication and

this stage is just concerned with the message which
needs to go through the processes of encoding,
transmission, and reception.

3. Encoding

The third stage of communication is encoding and

during this stage, the message goes through the
process of encoding by the sender. This means that
the message is encoded symbolically in forms of
words, pictures, gestures, or through other important
means.
4. The Transmission through Choice
Channel and Medium

This stage refers to the manner in which the encoding

of the information takes place. This can also be
looked on as a stage which is concerned with the
manner in which the information goes through the
process of transmission. The medium of
communication could be a post, telephone, fax, and
many other means. It is important for the sender to
choose an appropriate mean for proper reception to
take place.

5. Decoding and Understanding

Decoding is the process through which the receiver

converts the message to understand the information
which was intended to be communicated. And this
stage of decoding and understanding always takes
place after encoding. It is followed by the stage of
reception.

6. The Receiver and the Reception

The sixth stage is that of reception and during this

stage, the receiver gets the message and tries to make
proper sense of it. The receiver is also the last
member which is involved in the chain of encoding,
transfer of information, and reception.

7. Response and Feedback

After the reception stage, the receiver sends across

some sort of information which depicts that the
information has been received and understood by the
receiver. The stage of response and feedback is very
important as it depicts whether the processes of
encoding and reception have taken place properly or
not.

8. Any Noise

This is the last stage and this stage refers to any sort
of disturbance or obstruction which might have taken
place throughout the process of communication. For
effective communication to take place, it is important
for an individual to ensure that no external noise
exists in the surrounding environment.

D. Application
- Now we are going to apply and practice
your understanding about our topic.
- Group your selves into five (5) and
discuss your understandings and insights
about our topic.
E. Generalization
- A while ago we discuss about the eight
(8) stages of communication right?
- How many stages do we have in
communication?

- What are the stages again?

Students: Yes, sir.

Students: eight (8) sir.

Students:
 Sender
 Official Message
 Encoding
 The transmission through
choice Channel and Medium
 Decoding and understanding
 Receiver and the reception
 Response and Feedback
 Any noise
