WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?
COMMUNICATION
• is derived from two
Latin words
“communis” (noun)
and communicare
(verb) which means
commonality and to
make common
respectively.
 is the process of expressing and
exchanging information,
thoughts, ideas and feelings.

According to Wood (2004),

communication is a systematic
process in which individuals interact
with and through symbols to create
and interpret meaning.

Communication is a structured
two-way process essential in
transmitting information and
expressing ideas among
individuals.
COMMUNICATION MAY COME
IN TWO FORMS:
 TWO
TYPES OF
SETTINGS
 Elements of
Communication
1. Speaker- the source of information or
message
2. Message- the information, ideas, or thoughts
conveyed by the speaker in words or in actions
3. Encoding- the process of converting the
message into words, actions, or
other forms that the speaker understands
4. Channel- the medium or the means, such as
personal or non-personal, verbal or nonverbal, in
which the encoded message is conveyed or
transmitted.
 Elements of
Communication
5. Decoding- the process of interpreting the
encoded message of the speaker by the receiver
6. Receiver- the recipient of the message, or
someone who decodes the message
7. Feedback- the reactions, responses, or
information provided by the receiver
8. Context- the environment where
communication takes place
9. Barrier- the factors that affect the flow of
communication
The communication
process involves six
basic elements:
sender (encoder),
message, channel,
receiver (decoder),
noise/barrier and
feedback.
