Stage 1 – Conceptualization 

The Conceptualization stage is when the speaker thinks on what to say.

This is a reaction to the external stimuli and often based on prior knowledge of
the particular subject. The words formulated in this stage are mostly based on
personal knowledge and experience. Generally, the speaker formulates the idea
into language.

Stage 2 – Formulation 

The Formulation stage is when the message is organized by the speaker

with words that will help express his or her thoughts. It occurs almost
simultaneously with the conceptualization stage. However, the speaker thinks of
feedbacks before speaking. The response of this stage is a little delayed,
because the speaker thinks of feedbacks to best reply to the external stimuli.

Stage 3 – Articulation 

The Articulation Stage is when the speaker translates the message into
sounds and syllables. The speaker now involves physical actions of several
motor speech organs such as the lungs, larynx, toungue, lips, and other vocal
apparatuses. The Articulation Stage uses multiple organs to physically say his or
her thought.

Stage 4 – Self-Monitoring

The Self-Monitoring Stage is when the speaker reflects mistakes or errors and
makes effort to correct errors in his or her speech.
