I. Concept Notes:

Nature of Communication

● Communication is usually defined as a Speaker making a Speech before an audience.

● Communication is not just a mere transfer of messages from one person to another like a
balikbayan box being delivered.
● A speaker imparting ideas, concepts, and data to a group of Listeners (the Audience) is
Communication.
● Any Communication involves a transaction: a person wants to talk to someone about
something because he/she needs something from that someone.
● Central to all communication is the sending of the Message to a Listener through Verbal
and Nonverbal Communication Behaviors.
● Communication is stirring up ideas in the mind of another. It is sharing of ideas among a
group of people. It is to impart concepts to an audience.
● It is sharing experiences publicly for the common good. (Monroe et al. )
● Communication has to be learned, has to be mastered. ( Pace et al.)

● Shannon – Weaver’s model

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 action.
 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.
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. "Noise"–the factors that affect the flow of communication.
✔ Physical "noise" - the actual noise from the surroundings
✔ Physiological "noise" - when the body becomes the hindrance.
✔ Psychological "noise" - occurs when one is thinking deeply or is suffering from an
emotional condition.
9. Communicative Situation - defined as a complex of circumstances and conditions of the
communication process.
✔ Physical location- chosen for the purpose it serves
✔ Psychological setting - depends on the participants
