 EUGENE WHITE’S CONCEPT OF
FEEDBACK

• According to White, it is possible to begin at any of the stages

outlined in his model.
• Since it is a circular model, it means that oral communication
is a continuous process with no real beginning or end.
• Feedback – Most important contribution from Eugene and
can only be processed by the speaker if he or she has been
monitoring the audience or the listener. Hence, the speaker
must also pay attention to the listener’s verbal and non-verbal
cues (Flores, 2016)
THIS IS THE MODEL OF COMMUNICATION BY
EUGENE WHITE
THINKING

• -feeling or desire of the speaker

that push him/her to communicate.
SYMBOLIZING

• Before saying any words, speaker

has to know the oral language to
represent what are the idea.
EXPRESSING

• The speaker speaks what is the idea

followed by facial expressions,
gesture, and body stance.
TRANSMITTING

• This sound form speaker carrying

his/her message to the listeners
 RECEIVING

• This sound go through the listener’s

ears, body language sees by listener’s
eyes and go to the brain.
DECODING

• Listener interprets the language

symbols he receives and think
further
FEEDBACKING

• The listeners may show the behavior

like nod, smile or yawn, or may not
show behavior at all (covert
behavior like fast heartbeat and
poker face, etc.)
 MONITORING

• While the speaker watches for the sign or the

behavior, the speaker is receiving, and
decoding messages about himself from his
audience in order to adjust to particular
situation
