LEARNING COMPETENCY:

Nature and Elements of Communication, communication models.

Code: EN11/12OC-Ia-3
Week 1

MODULE 1:
Communication Models

Communication involves a transaction: a person wants a talk to someone

because one needs something. Although we routinely engage in communication, it is not an
easy activity. Communication is an intricate process of sharing ideas, thoughts, and
information, best illustrated by models of communication.

The best way to understand communication is to see it graphically. Many authors

and researchers have come up with their own models based on what they want to emphasize
as being an important component of communication. The following four models of
communication will introduce the elements of communication, which will be discussed in the
next lesson.

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

Differentiate the various models of communication.
Distinguish the unique features of one communication process from the other.
Reflect on the test results and make a plan for improvement
 Directions: Read the questions carefully and choose the best answer. Write your
answer in a separate sheet of paper.

1. Complete the sentence. Communication is the process of __________________.

a. transferring information and meaning.
b. listening actively
c. talking
2. Which one does use non-verbal communication?
a. Hand Gestures
b. Dancing
c. E- Mails
d. Facial Expression
3. The factor that affects the flow of communication.
a. Speaker
b. Noise/ Barrier
c. Message
d. Listener
4. The responses, reactions, or information provided by the receiver.

d. Listener
5. What type of communication is talking to your teacher and clarifying about your

 Introductory Activity

Make a list of “communication “that one has done from waking up in the morning until evening.
Include important notes while doing the “communication” (e.g., facial reaction, gestures, tone of
voice, problems, and etc.) Use a separate sheet on answering this activity.

Understanding Communication

Communication involves a transaction: a person wants to talk to someone because one needs
something. Although we routinely engage in communication, it is not an easy activity. Communication
is an intricate process of sharing ideas, thoughts, and information, best illustrated by the models of
communication. We will also learn about the Elements of Communication – beyond Speaker, Message,
and Listener. Knowledge of the Elements will also give us a clearer understanding of the
Communication Process and its Dimensions. This Unit will also show the influence of culture and
gender to explain why miscommunication occurs verbally and nonverbally.

The best way to understand communication is to see it graphically. Many authors and researchers have
come up with their own models based on what they want to emphasize as being an important
component of communication, which will be discussed in the next lesson.

a. Aristotle’s Model of Communication

Aristotle Model is mainly focused on speaker and speech. It can be broadly divided into 5 primary
elements: Speaker, Speech, Occasion, Audience and Effect. The Aristotle’s communication model is
revolving around the speaker as the main concept of this theory is that, speaker plays the most important
role in communication and it is the only one who holds the responsibility to influence his/her audience
through public speaking. It is the speaker’s role to deliver a speech to the audience. The audience is
passive, influenced by the speech. This makes the communication process one way, from speaker to
receiver. The speaker must organize and prepare his/her speech beforehand, according to the target
audience and situation (occasion). Even if the model is speaker oriented and focuses on audience
interaction in communication, there is no concept of feedbacks.
b. Shannon – Weaver’s Model of Communication

The second model is that of Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver (1948) which gave us the concept of
“noise”. This is often called the Telephone Model because it is based on the experience of having the
message interfered with by “noise” from the telephone switchboard back in the 1940s.

In this model, Shannon and Weaver assert that the message sent by the Source (speaker) us not
necessarily the Message received by the Destination (listener). This is due to intervention of “noise” or
anything that hampers the communication. Even today, with our advance cell phone technology, there
are still barriers to clear transmission and reception of calls. Dropped calls, calls that echo, faint signals -
all interfere with the communication of the message.
c. Schramm’s Model of Communication

The third model is that of Wilbur Schramm, who is considered the Father of Mass Communication. He
came up with five models, but the Schramm Model (1955) we are concerned with is the concept that
explains why communication breakdown occurs. Schramm asserts that communication can take place if
and only if there is an overlap between the Field of Experience of the Speaker and the Field of
Experience of the Listener.

What is the Field of Experience? It is everything that makes a person unique – everything he /she has
ever learned, watched, seen, heard, read, and studied. In other words, it is everything a person has ever
experienced or not experienced, done or not done. In fact, this is practically everything that has
happened in his/her life. It is this Field of Experience that is used to interpret the Message and create a
Response. It is also this Field of Experience, which can only happen when the two fields have
commonalities. For example, the teacher must deliver his/her lectures in either English or Filipino
Because that is the language that students know and use. If the teacher suddenly started using Chinese in
the lecture, the students will not understand a single thing! The teacher may perhaps be understood only
if he/she was teaching in a Chinese school.

d. White’s Model of Communication

Eugene white tells us that that communication is a circular and continuous, without a beginning or end.
This is why he made communication a cyclical model. He also points out that although we can assume
that communication begins with thinking, communication can actually be observed from any point in the
circle. This model introduces the concept of FEEDBACK to the field of communication. Feedback is
the perception by the speaker about the Response of the listener. The Speaker can only receive Feedback
if the Speaker is monitoring the Listener. The Speaker will know what the Listener’s Response is only if
he/she is paying attention.

Eugene White contributed the concept of Feedback to the field of communication. Feedback is the
perception by the Speaker about the response of the Listener. The Speaker can only receive Feedback if
the Speaker is monitoring the Listener. The Speaker will know what the listener’s Response is only if
he/she is paying attention.

 Glossary

The following terms used in this module are defined as follows:

Barrier – are things that get in the way of a message being received. They could be
physical, such as loud music playing, or emotional, such as when a person is too
angry or fearful to listen to what another individual is saying.
Feedback – the final step of the process that ensures the receiver has received the message
and interpreted it correctly as it was intended by the sender. It increases the
effectiveness of the communication as it permits the sender to know the efficacy
of his message.
Hand Gesture – Hand gestures can help you point to people and things in your surroundings
(e.g., pointing at an object while you say “look at that”) Hand gestures can help
you add emphasis and structure when you talk (e.g., showing numbers when you
count, “1, 2, 3…”) Hand gestures give clues about your emotional state.
Speaker – Is the initiator of communication
Theory – A supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one
based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
Transaction – An instance of buying or selling something.
