Instructional Strategies

A. Context

We always hear and use the word “communication” but do we really know how it works? In this module, you will
learn what is communication, the elements, the process and the two models that we usually use in our daily conversation.

B. Concept Notes

DEFINITION:

According to McCornack (2014), communication is a process of sharing and conveying messages or information
from one person to another within and across channels, contexts, media, and cultures.
There are a lot of ways on how communication may happen: face to face, through phone, group discussion,
meeting or interview, a letter, class recitation, etc.

ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATION:

1. Speaker – It is the one who gives or the source of information or message.

2. Message – It is the information, ideas, or thoughts conveyed by the speaker in words or in actions .
3. Encoding – It is the process of converting the message into words, actions, or other forms that the speaker
understands.
4. Channel – It is the medium or the means, such as personal or non-personal, verbal or non-verbal, in which the
encoded message is conveyed.
5. Decoding – It is the process of interpreting the encoded message of the speaker by the receiver.
6. Receiver – It is the one who receives the message, or someone who decodes the message.
7. Feedback – These are the reactions, responses, or information provided by the receiver.
8. Context – It is the environment where communication takes place.
9. Barrier – These are the factors that affect or disrupt the flow of communication.

Process of Communication Example

The speaker generates an idea. Roselle loves Dan, her suitor, as a friend.

The speaker encodes an idea or converts the idea into She thinks of how to tell him using their native language.
words or actions. ↓
↓ She tells him, “Dan, mahal kita bilang kaibigan.”
The speaker transmits or sends out a message. ↓
↓ Dan hears what Roselle says.

MODELS OF COMMUNICATION:

1. Shannon-Weaver Model
- Known as the mother of all communication models
- Depicts communication as a linear or one-way process
- Consists of five elements: source, transmitter, channel, receiver and destination
- No feedback - the speaker will not know whether the receiver understands the message or not

2. Transaction Model
- Two-way process with the inclusion of feedback as one element
- More interactive and a collaborative exchange of messages between communicators with the aim of
understanding each other
- A barrier, such as noise, may interfere with the flow of communication

Guided Practice

I. Illustrate using a graphic organizer below how your daily conversation with a family member using ONLY ONE of
the two models of communication. Choose only one family member and ask them what’s your common daily
conversation is. Write a brief explanation about your model. (refer to attachment 1)

C. Independent Practice

I. Explain the process on how communication works in 10 sentences. (refer to attachment 2)

II. Fill in the Venn diagram below the similarities and differences of Shannon-Weaver Model and Transaction Model. Use
keywords/phrases only and bullet form. (refer to attachment 2)

Learning

I. Select five (5) elements of communication and explain its importance in communication.
(refer to attachment 3)

II. List three (3) noise sources and indicate when/where you will encounter them and possible solutions. (refer to
attachment 3)

III. In 3-4 paragraphs, cite a scenario wherein Shannon-Weaver Model and Transaction Model best suited and explain
why. Use only one scenario in each communication model. Write your answer in a one whole yellow paper.
