answering the pre-test, self-check

For the learner:

Hi! Welcome to the new normal! Our learning is made flexible through this
module. You are expected to learn different lessons in the First Semester
School Year 2020-2021 under Oral Communication subject anchored from the
Most Essential Leaning Competencies. In this module, you will work on
different activities that would lead you to different activities that would lead
you to a full understanding of the various models of communication.

Each lesson has the following important sections. (1) Let Us Learn. It
contains the objective set to be accomplished. (2) Let Us Try. It serves as a
pre-test to assess how well do the learners know about the lesson to take. (3)
Let Us Study. New Lesson is introduced in this section through a story,
situation, or activity which compels the learner develops higher order thinking
skills which enables him acquire communicative competence. (4) Let Us
Practice. This part contains activities that will help learners discover and
understand the concept. (5) Let Us Practice More. It also contains varied
activities to test how the learners understand the lesson. (6) Let Us
Remember. This is the generalization/summary of the lesson. This may be
represented as a question, fill in the blank sentence/ paragraph to process
what the learners learned. (7) Let Us Assess. It includes activities that shall
transfer the skill/knowledge gained into real life situations. It serves as an
evaluation. (8) Let Us Enhance. This serves as enrichment activities. (9) Let
Us Reflect. It is the learner’s reflection, a sort of closing statement for
relevance, meaning and application of the concepts and skills develop in the
lesson/activity to real life situation.

This module aims to help improve learners’ communicative competence,

sharpen their thinking skills, and develop their creativity and encourage
independent study. To guide you in the learning process, activities, and

exercises are embedded in this module. Directions are clear and concise to
follow. Answer Key to activities is also provided to check how well do you
know the topic. Before answering various activities, assessments and
evaluations it is necessary that you have read and understood the
introductory part and the reading discussions.

After you finish reading and answering the whole module, you are ready
to apply a specific style to adapt to certain context and situation, thus,

got it wrong, don’t feel bad. This means that this lesson brings excitement to you. This
will help you understand some important concepts that you can apply in your daily life.

Let Us Study

Models of communication guide you to understand the process of

communication and how it works. Some of most common communication models are
discussed below.

Shannon-Weaver Model
Shannon-Weaver model of communication was created when Claude Elwood
Shannon and Warren Weaver wrote an article “A Mathematical Theory of
Communication” in Bell System Technical Journal. They are both Americans, the former
is a mathematician and the latter is a scientist. This model is known as the mother of
all communication models.

 Information source. The sender or the person who is the source the message
 Transmitter. Encoder of the message who uses machine which concerts message
into signals.
 Channel. The medium used to send the message.
 Decoder. The receiver who translates the message from signal or the machine
used to convert signals into a message.
 Destination. The person who gets the message or the place where the message
much reach.
 Noise. The physical disturbances like environment, people, etc. which does not let
the message get to the receiver as what is sent.

Transactional Model of Communication

Barnlund’s (2008) transactional model of communication is seen an ongoing,

circular process. It is more interactive as shown below. It has number of processes and
components, including the encoding and decoding processes, the communicator, the
message, the channel and noise.

Schramm’s Model of Communication

Wilbur Schramm, an American scholar proposed the act of transforming a

message into a verbal or non-verbal medium, and decoding the act of interpreting the
message are simultaneously done by both the speaker and the listener (Fernandez, et.al).
Blythe (2009) described Schramm model of communication as the most commonly
and widely used theory of communication. This model seeks to explain how meaning is
transferred between individuals, corporations, and others (Padilla, et al, 2016).

Intermediary/Gatekeeper Model of Communication

Intermediary or Gatekeeper Model is frequently used in mass communication

(Padilla, et. al, 2016), focuses on the roles of gatekeepers or intermediaries in the
communication process, giving communication a two-step flow (Katz, 1957).
Intermediaries are editors of publication like magazines, newspapers, books, etc.;
moderators of Internet discussion groups, reviewers of peer-reviewed publications, or
aggregators of clipping services. They have the power to alter messages or to prevent
them from reaching a particular audience. They can decide what messages they want
others to see, in which context they want the messages to be seen, and when they want
to be seen (Padilla, et. al 2016).

 Let Us Remember
Communication is the process of sending and receiving messages or
transferring information from one part (sender) to another (receiver). The model of
communication serves as map to guide us in the communication process.

Let Us Assess
Identify the communication model describes in the following situations:

1. Julienne, a call center agent convinces her client through phone to buy a new
product of MS Company.
2. The newspaper’s editor-in-chief deletes the article about price hike of facemask
and other essentials because she found it too complex.
3. A well-known TV news anchor reports from a remote area where the signal is
erratic. Therefore, TV viewers had a problem understanding the news because
of the unclear signal.
4. The Ethics Committee of a peer-reviewed publication disapproves a study
because it did not meet the standards set by the committee.
5. After a couple of decades, high school buddies Johann and Jasper met during
their high school reunion. They shared some common experiences as they
reminisced their high school life.

Let Us Enhance
Choose one communication model and look for any scene of a movie or TV
show that perfectly shows the communication described. Analyze the scene with
the communication model present and make a powerpoint presentation out
of it. Email it to your teacher.
