The Act of communication
Communication is an event. It is an act
involving persons, instruments symbols
and abstractions.

The Act of communication

Communication, whether between
two persons speaking face to face or
between two people on phone, or on
the wireless, or even in a written
from, takes place only in a channel.

2 The SPEAKER-LISTENER POLARITY

Polarities of
Communication

Speaker Listener
 THE SPEAKER
Needs to select the language which can be
understood by the listener, including:
❖ Choice of the language
❖ The tone
❖ The style
❖ The particular words employed
❖ The explanatory or decorative words used
❖ The jokes
 THE SPEAKER
✓ Must be able to judge what the listener
wants
✓ Listener’s likes and dislikes
✓ The preferences and prejudices
✓ The atmosphere
✓ Has to be cautions to avoid all of
redundant elements of communication
The closer at hand the speaker and listener
one, the easier to make things clear in
communication.

The processes of encoding and decoding

➢ 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.
➢ Decoding is the process of turning
communication into thoughts.

A communication-chain is a continuous
swapping ofthe speaker-listener roles
between the two agents.

Verbal behaviour and communication

are aspects of the same phenomenon,
language.
Teachers must remember that learners have their
verbal and nonverbal conversations with listeners.

Students must be given the opportunity to practice

communication in a constructive and supportive environment.

Learners have to be given the chance topractisecommunication

in constructive and supportive environments.

They should also be observed during listener meetings to assess their

real-life communication, because watching other people's
communication may not be sufficient to ensure the development of
excellent communication skills.
