LESSON 2: ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Activity1. Review Lesson 1

Taught you the nature and process of communication. Learning those topics has paved our door to better understanding
of the essence of communication and that is to understand and to be understood. Write down the best things you
learned from lesson.

Activity2. Picture Analysis: Look at the image and answer the questions that follow.

1. What have you observed in the image above?

2. What do you think is the scenario? How do you call that conversation?

3. Can you identify the sender of the message? What could his message be?

4. Can you identify the receiver of the message? What could his reply be? 5. What do you think is the relevance of this
image to our next topic?
DAY 2
DISCUSSION
ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATION
So what are the elements involved in the communication process be it in the sample image shown or in any
given communication context? Communication is composed of elements that help us better understand its process.
Study the illustration below.

1. Sender
The sender is also known as the source of the message or information. The sender is responsible for making
putting meaning into his/her message. A sender is also known as the speaker or encoder. In the illustration, you
will see the teacher being labeled as the sender since she is the one giving the information to her audience.
2. Message
The message is the information, ideas, or thoughts conveyed by the speaker in words or in actions. As in the
illustration above, the message is all about communication which is lesson of the day. The message by the way is
an important element that is being shared by the sender and the receiver.
3. Encoding
This is referring to the process of converting the message into words, actions, or other forms that the speaker
understands. The sender is also considered as the encoder in the illustration shown because it is her who puts
meaning into her message.
4. Channel
The channel is the medium or the means, such as personal or nonpersonal, verbal or nonverbal, wherein the
encoded message is conveyed. In the example, the channel or the medium of communication or how the
message was conveyed is through personal or face-to-face communication using verbal language. Other
channels of communication will be discussed in the succeeding modules.
5. Decoding
Decoding is the process of interpreting the encoded message of the speaker by the receiver. The receiver
analyzes the message received before giving his/her response. In the illustration, there are actually several
recipients or receivers of the message but directly, the teacher addressed Mr. Lance Dacer. This suggests that
the teacher as the sender is expecting Lance Dacer as the receiver to give his feedback or response.
6. Receiver
The receiver acts as the recipient of the message, or someone who decodes the message. Again, all those
present in the class are considered receivers of the message.
7. Feedback
 Feedbacks are the reactions, responses, or information provided by the receiver. It could come in many forms. It
could be through words, gestures, or actions. If you look at the illustration, there are implicit or not direct
feedbacks such as one student is jokingly courting his seatmate. The misbehavior of the student while the
discussion is going on is already a feedback in itself. It suggests that the student’s attention was not on the
teacher but on his seatmate.
DAY 3
CONTINUATION
8. Context
The context is the environment where communication takes place. It is a communication situation. If we are to
look again at the illustration, we can say at once that the setting is in the classroom which is true. Why, the
presence of the teacher, the students, the discussion are taking place in a classroom setting. Without context,
communication cannot take place. There has to be a context for communication to happen. In a picnic, a
wedding, in the church or dinner, at a basketball game or a bus ride are just a few of the many contexts where
communication can take place.
9. Barrier
Barriers are also called noise in communication. These are factors that affect the flow of communication.
Students’ talking to one another while the class discussion is going may distract the attention of other students,
or someone who has a toothache may not be able to concentrate at the meeting. In the illustration above, one
student is not attentive to the class as she was instead bothered by the thought of someone she hates.
Activity 3: Find the Elements Read the sample telephone conversation below and afterwards, identify the elements
found in the conversation.
