RESPECTFUL. BE NICE.

 Questions will be entertained after the presentation is done. You may use the chat
box or raise your hand to post your query.
 If I call on you, unmute your microphone so we can all hear you.

 Get ready to learn and be patient with your teacher because this is a learning
experience for everyone.
 Your camera must be turned on the entire virtual class.

COMMUNICATION is a systematic process in which individuals interact with
and through symbols to create and interpret meanings. (Julia Wood, 2004)
1. Sender: The sender or the communicator is the person who initiates the
conversation and has conceptualized the idea that he intends to convey it to
others.

2. Encoding: The sender begins with the encoding process wherein he uses certain
words or non-verbal methods such as symbols, signs, body gestures, etc. to translate
the information into a message. The sender’s knowledge, skills, perception,
background, competencies, etc. has a great impact on the success of the message.

3. Message: Once the encoding is finished, the sender gets the message that he intends
to convey. The message can be written, oral, symbolic or non-verbal such as body
gestures, silence, sighs, sounds, etc. or any other signal that triggers the response of a
receiver.

4. Communication Channel: The Sender chooses the medium through which he wants
to convey his message to the recipient. It must be selected carefully in order to make
the message effective and correctly interpreted by the recipient. The choice of medium
depends on the interpersonal relationships between the sender and the receiver and
also on the urgency of the message being sent. Oral, virtual, written, sound, gesture,
etc. are some of the commonly used communication mediums.
5. Receiver: The receiver is the person for whom the message is intended
or targeted. He tries to comprehend it in the best possible manner such
that the communication objective is attained. The degree to which the
receiver decodes the message depends on his knowledge of the subject
matter, experience, trust and relationship with the sender.

6. Decoding: Here, the receiver interprets the sender’s message and tries
to understand it in the best possible manner. An effective communication
occurs only if the receiver understands the message in exactly the same
way as it was intended by the sender.

7. Feedback: The Feedback is 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. The response of the receiver can be verbal or non-verbal.
Model

A model is a systematic representation

of an object or event in idealized and
abstract form (Mortensen).

It serves as a representation designed

to provide a simplified view of a process
so that fundamental characteristics
can be examined.
Aristotle’s Model of Communication

The Aristotle's communication model is a speaker centered model as

the speaker has the most important role in it and is the only one
active. It is the speaker's role to deliver a speech to the audience.
SAUSSURE’S MODEL
FERDINAND SAUSSRE, considered the Father of Modern
Synchronic Linguistics, a model in which a concept in the brain
triggers a sound pattern in the brain. The sound pattern in the
brain triggers an actual pronunciation of a sound which goes out
of the mouth of a person and into the listener where the process
occurs in opposite order. That is, the sound produces a sound
pattern in the brain, and the sound pattern produces a concept.
Shannon and Weaver’s Communication Model
CLAUDE SHANNON’s model is known as Information Theory. It was primarily
concerned with the transmission of electronic information.

*A mathematical theory of communication

Concepts in Shannon-Weaver Model

Sender (Information source) – Sender is the person who makes the message,
chooses the channel and sends the message.
Encoder (Transmitter) –Encoder is the sender who uses machine, which converts
message into signals or binary data. It might also directly refer to the machine.
Channel –Channel is the medium used to send message.
David K. BERLO’S SMCR MODEL
 Schramm’s Communication Model

The model takes communication as a never ending process which constitutes

messages and feedbacks. Each person is both sender and receiver, so there must
be interpretation of the message on each turn. The interpreted data is known as
information.
Your task is to choose 15 words from the
list of commonly mispronounced words
shown before the start of the lesson.
Using the PowerPoint app, make a
recording. You must utilize the video
feature of the PowerPoint. I need to see
and to hear you actually pronouncing
each word.

This will be equivalent to 30 points and

will be recorded as a quiz.

Deadline of submission is January 9,
