(Added Communication is the process of exchanging ideas and feelings. Using a more technical definition
Competency) of communication, it is the process in which the source (speaker) sends a message to the receiver
(listener) through a particular channel, say, a person to person, through either verbal or nonverbal
language, or through electronic devices, such as cell phone, telephone, radio, and television.
For communication to take place, six elements should all be present: source (speaker), receiver
(listener), message (content), channel (medium), feedback, and situation. Source refers to the
origin of the message while receiver is the listener or reader of a message that is transmitted. The
message or the content of communication is sent through a medium called channel. Channels of
communication include electronic devices such as cell phone, telephone, radio, and television,
among others. To make sure the message is received properly, feedback from both parties is
necessary. Feedback can also be verbal or nonverbal. Examples of nonverbal feedback are a
simple nod, showing audience approval; a frown, expressing disagreement or confusion; and a
handshake, expressing contradiction. Verbal feedback, on the other hand, refers to the listener’s
reactions or comments which he says directly to the speaker. If a person, for example, has not
clearly understood the message, he may say, “Pardon, Mr./Ms. Speaker, please elaborate some
more because I lost track of your message.”
Finally, the last component of communication process is situation. It refers to the context or event
by which communication takes place. Let us take a town fiesta as communication situation in which
two old friends meet at the plaza where the band is performing exhibition along with the other guest
musicians. These two friends exchange stories about each other’s experiences. However, during
their conversation, since the whole town is in festivity, many people are on the streets shouting,
jeering, laughing, and applauding the performers, so they may be times that they do not understand
each other. This is because of the interference of noise which disrupts the flow of communication.
