message and a destination. This can be in a form of a
face-to-face interaction, a phone conversation, a group
discussion, and even a letter correspondence.

02 written or spoken words, and actions.

a. Communication takes place with the

combination of verbal and nonverbal elements
as one kind complements the other.

being exposed to the message using the process
called DECODING.
*Decoding - is the process by which the receiver
assigns meaning to the symbols encoded by the

Once the message is sent to the destination or the receiver, the receiver
then performs the process called DECODING where he or she
interprets the message based on the CONTEXT.

*Context - includes the people, the place, the situation and even the
common experiences of the people involved in the communication

since they are not feeling well.

problems, and anxieties.

This process is dynamic or always changing as it occurs

within a context which constantly varies depending on so
many factors like the people involved, the place, the
channels used and the situation. Communication also
occurs always with noise which affects the entire process in
one way or another.
