Elements of the Communication Process

The term communication process refers to the exchange of information

(a message) between two or more people. For communication to succeed, both
parties must be able to exchange information and understand each other. If the
flow of information is blocked for some reason or the parties cannot make
themselves understood, then communication fails.

1. Sender & Receiver – The person who intends to convey the message with the
intention of passing information and ideas to others is known as
sender or communicator.

Receiver is the person who receives the

message or for whom the message is meant
for. It is the receiver who tries to understand the message in the best possible
manner in achieving the desired objectives.

2. Message - The message or content  is the information that the sender wants to

relay to the receiver. Additional subtext can be conveyed
through body language and tone of voice. Put all three
elements together — sender, receiver, and message — and
you have the communication process at its most basic.
 3. Channel – The channel or medium is the
pathway through which a message is
transmitted. The five senses are also
considered channels.

4. Decoding – the process of interpreting the encoded message of the speaker by

the receiver.

5. Feedback - The communication process reaches its final point when the
message has been successfully
transmitted, received, and understood. The
receiver, in turn, responds to the sender,
indicating comprehension. Feedback may
be direct, such as a written or verbal
response, or it may take the form of an act or deed in response (indirect).

6. Context – the environment where communication takes place.

7. Barrier – the factors that affect the flow of communication.

 Noise – Is anything that blocks or interferes with the meaning of a
particular message. Such as; Environmental noise, Physiological-
Impairment noise, Semantic noise, Syntactic noise, Organizational noise,
Cultural noise and psychological noise.
Learn by heart the process of communication for you to become a good communicator
and to avoid misunderstanding or miscommunications.
Study the illustration below:

As seen in the illustration, communication begins when the speaker or source generates
and idea then encode/message or convert that idea into words or actions. Once the idea is
converted, the speaker transmits the message through a particular channel or means of
communication. The receiver on the other hand receives and decodes/interpret the
message then sends or responds accordingly based on his interpretation or understanding
of the message. Barriers of communication sometimes get in the way and the
transmission of the message is blocked thereby creating confusion and misunderstanding.

B.2 Developmental Activities

Activity No. 1
(Show a pictures to the students and let them identify & explain what elements of
communication is being shown.)

1. (Channel) 2. (Message) 3&4. (Speaker&Receiver) 5. (Feedback)

Activity No. 2
Show a video and let the students answer the ff. question:

1. Vice Ganda is the ___________ of the message. (speaker)

2. Showtime studio is the ____________ of the communication. (context/setting)
3. The show is the _________ of the communication. (Channel)
4. The father of Vice Ganda’s scholars is the ___________ of the message. (receiver)
5. The father saying “Thank you” to Vice Ganda is called a ____________. (message)

C. Generalization
Guide questions:
 Is silence considered feedback?
 What would life will be without communication?
 Why is it important to decode or interpret first the message before we give our
responds/feedback?
 How can we deliver a respectful message to the people in our society to avoid
misunderstanding?
 Are these Elements of Communication important in our day to day?

D. Application
Direction: Identify the basic elements of the communication process by reading the situation
and consider the questions.

a. Camille judging her lesbian classmate said, “you look so untidy and smells
bad, how can you afford to go to school in those cheap slippers!” The embarrassed student cried
and left the classroom without saying a word.

b. There is an Acquaintance party in school where some LGBTQ+ are invited,

Mr. Robin in his microphone said, “Welcome to our school!” and the LGBTQ+ clap their hands.

Answer the ff. questions:

1. Who is the sender?
2. Who is the receiver?
3. What is the message?
4. What medium/channel was used to convey the message?
5. What was the feedback?

IV. Evaluation
Group the class into 5. (Role Play)
Make a short scenario that shows the process of communication, explain the elements of
communication use in your group presentation.

V. Agreement
Have an advance study about the “Functions of Communication”
