Directions: Answer these questions:

Give and explain each of the five (5) steps involved in the process of communication.

STEP 1: IDEAS ARE GENERATED

The sender is the first and initiating person in the communication process. When the sender has an
idea that needs to be communicated, the communication process begins. He generates a message by
combining his idea, needs, intention, and source, which he wishes to communicate to his receivers. The
sender must first clarify the concept and purpose. Knowing this information increases the likelihood of
successful communication. There are some important questions you should ask yourself in order to
understand the purpose of your message. Who do you want to hear your message? What information is
required of the receiver? What do you intend for the recipient to do with this information?

STEP 2: MESSAGE ENCODING

Encoding the message is the second step in the communication process. Once the sender has
developed an idea, they must present the message in a logical structure. The concept must be encoded into
meaningful words, symbols, and gestures. The encoding process entails translating an idea to its meaning.
They must be communicating when the sender gets an idea and sends it to the other party. When the
sender begins to plan for sending out the message, the information of encoding is not yet sending out the
message to the channel, the messages are only an idea that thinking in the sender. To reduce the
possibility of misunderstanding, the sender should choose words, symbols, and gestures that are widely
understood.

STEP 3: MESSAGE TRANSMISSION

The message's medium should be chosen by the sender. This will be determined by your relationship
with the receiver, the purpose of your writing, and the importance of the message. It connects the sender
and receiver by communicating messages of mutual interest. The term "medium" refers to the
bridge between sending and receiving, and both parties' communication will be based on the type of
sending movement channel used to understand each other. Messages can be sent verbally, in writing, or
visually. Oral communication, for example, can be accomplished via telephone, mediator, group
discussion, and so on. Whereas written communication can take the form of letters, memos, reports,
newspapers, and so on.

STEP 4: MESSAGE DECODING

The message is then delivered to the receiver. The message will be processed by the receiver in
accordance with the communication channel used by the sender. When the message reaches the intended
recipient, it must be decoded into its intended meaning. As a result, the receiver must translate the
sender's words, symbols, and gestures. Only when the message is received and understood by the receiver
does communication become complete from a technical standpoint. As a result, an effective message must
be receiver-oriented rather than sender-oriented. A recipient does not acknowledge a message until he
understands its exact meaning. When the receiver creates a receptive environment and ignores
distractions, successful decoding is more likely. Alert receivers strive to understand both verbal and
nonverbal cues, avoid making assumptions about the message, and expect to learn from the
communication.

STEP 5: FEEDBACK
Feedback is an important part of the communication process. A feedback is required in order to have
a successful communication because communication fails without feedback. A feedback is a responding
action from the receiver in a communication; thus, during the communication process, a feedback will
inform the sender as well as receive an answer from the receiver. It determines whether the message is
correctly understood and whether the receiver makes the necessary effort as intended by the sender. When
the receiver is able to decode messages sent by the sender, he provides a timely response. Feedback,
which can be verbal or nonverbal, is a shared responsibility between the sender and the receiver. When
the sender receives feedback, the communication process is completed.
