Communication

- It is the process of creating and exchanging meaning through symbolic

interaction.
- As a process communication constantly moves and changes. It does not stand
still.
- Meaning involves thoughts and ideas and understandings shared by
communicators.

communicate meaning and feelings.

- ENCODE transforming the thoughts of the information to be conveyed.
- MESSAGE the reason behind any interaction. The meaning shared between
the sender and the receiver.
- CHANNEL the means by which a message is conveyed. Example: answering a
phone call, phone is the channel.
- RECEIVER the person who receives the transmitted message.
- DECODE means mentally processing the message into understanding.
- FEEDBACK is essential to confirm recipient understanding.

Types of communication

Principles of effective communication

avoided. Messages must be supported by facts such as research data,
statistics/figures.
- COURTESY builds goodwill. Involves being polite in terms of approach and
manner of addressing an individual.

sentence. Misuse of language can damage your credibility.
- CONSIDERATION the sender of a message must consider the recipient’s
profession, level of education, race, ethnicity, hobbies, interests, passions,
advocacies, and age when delivering a message.
- CREATIVITY having the ability to craft interesting messages in terms of

A NOUN is a word that names something, such as a person, place, thing, or idea. In
a sentence, nouns can play the role of subject, direct object, indirect object,
subject complement, object complement, appositive, or adjective.

PRONOUN is a word that is used instead of a noun or noun phrase. Pronouns refer
to either a noun that has already been mentioned or to a noun that does not need
to be named specifically.

VERB is a word that characteristically is the grammatical center of a predicate

and expresses an act, occurrence, or mode of being, that in various languages is
inflected for agreement with the subject, for tense, for voice, for mood, or for
aspect, and that typically has rather full descriptive meaning and characterizing
quality but is sometimes nearly devoid of these especially when used as an auxiliary
or linking verb.

VOWEL is a syllabic speech sound pronounced without any stricture in the vocal
tract. Vowels are one of the two principal classes of speech sounds, the other
being the consonant. Vowels vary in quality, in loudness and also in quantity.

Verbs come in three tenses: PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE. The past is used to
describe things that have already happened (e.g., earlier in the day, yesterday, last
week, three years ago). The present tense is used to describe things that are
happening right now, or things that are continuous. The future tense describes
things that have yet to happen (e.g., later, tomorrow, next week, next year, three
years from now).

PARAGRAPH ORGANIZATION

CLASSIFICATION, break down your main message into smaller categories.

CHRONOLOGICAL, after the topic sentence, begin with what happened first and
take it from there.

EVIDENCE AND ILLUSTRATION, support your topic sentence with examples.

COMPARISON and CONTRAST, demonstrates similarities or differences between

two or more people or things.
Cause and Effect, make a statement and then show on what the effects of that
statement would be.

REFLECTION
Purposive Communication is a course that will enhance and develop your skills in
communicating to other people or it will showcase your skills in communicating. It is
all about writing, speaking and presenting to other people for different purpose. It
also involves a sender and a receiver to have an effective communication. Purposive
Communication is a technical term that means a communication that is well thought
out and explained very well, not just thrown out there without thinking about how
it is received and understood. Since, communication should happen with lots of
thinking, planning what to say is essential, one of the examples is when a person
gives a speech it is considered as a purposive communication, for the reason that
before a person stands in front of his audience the words that he will utter are
already planned. However, purposive communication does not happen every time,
there are instances that instead of thinking carefully of what to say there are
mishaps where in a person get a lot of things that pop into his head, that is why
there are ideas and concepts which guide a person to achieve purposive
communication.

When a person is the speaker there are lots of things to consider and when a
person is the listener there are also things to be mindful with, just like; giving
verbal and nonverbal feedback while listening to show that you are interested to
what the speaker is talking about, also listening for the big picture, keeping the
conversation on the them, taking concise talking turns and taking action follow up.
If there are factors to be considered when listening, there are also barriers to
effective listening and there are; distractions, preoccupation, too focused on the
details, the topic is boring or offensive, rebuttal tendency and when the speaker is
the problem.

Basically, there are important things to achieve a purposive communication which

mainly promote effective communication with other people, and it is more than just
plainly communicating with other people with a purpose. It is somehow a totality of
the different ways of communicating that include; writing, speaking and presenting
to different audiences.

Therefore I conclude that purposive communication is very important for us

students because in order for us to communicate effectively and appropriately to
other audiences. Purposive communication course will help us enhance and develop
our skills in communicating to other people and this will help us boost our
confidence in talking to other people and in this way we will be expose to many
activities which will enhance our skills.
