 White Stages Model

Eugene white's 8 oral stages of Communication

Thinking Receiving

Symbolizing Decoding

Expressing Feedback

Transmitting Monitoring
THINKING - a desire , feelings or an
emotion provides a communicator a stimulus
to communicate a need.
SYMBOLIZING - before a communicator
can utter a sound(s). He/she has to known the
code of oral language with which to represent
his/her ideas and in order to make his/her
selection.
EXPRESSING - the communicator then use
his/her vocal mechanism to produce the
sounds of language accompanied by his/her
facial expression, gestures, and body stance.
TRANSMITTING - the sound waves
spread at 1000 ft. per sec. and light waves
travel at a speed of 186 000 miles per
second carry the speaker's message his/her
listeners.
RECEIVING - when sound waves make
an impact upon the listener's ears after
which the resulting nerve impulses reach
the brain via the auditory nerve.
DECODING - the communicator
interprets the language symbols he/she
receives and think further.
FEEDBACK - the communicator may
show overt behavior like a nod, yawn ,or
smile or he/she may not show any
behavior at all.
Answer the ff. questions:

1. What do you think is the most important part of White's communication

model?

2. Why communication is individually construed?

3. What is the white model of communication?

4. Why is communication a process?

5. Why do you think white's stages of oral communication conclude that

communication is not a simple process that starts with the speaker and ends
with the listener?
MONITORING - while the communicator
watches for the sign or understanding of his/her
message among his/her listener; the
communicator is receiving and decoding
messages about himself/herself from his/her
audience in order to adjust to the particular
situation.
