3. Message
4. Channel
5. Noise
6. Situation

13. Sender
• The one who conveys the message. (Oral or

intended message that is actually
communicated.

14. Receiver

content of the process of communication.

16. Channel
• The medium or means through which the
message is transmitted.

17. Channel
• The channel for oral communication is the
sound waves written through light waves.
• The primary channels in face to face
communication are sound and sight.
• Public announcements and advertisements
are sent through radio waves.

18. Noise
• It is also known as interference that keeps a
message from being understood or accurately
interpreted.
• It occurs between the sender and receiver.

19. Two Types of Noise
1. Channel - This refers to static, mechanical
failures, problems in volume, pitch, legibility
of text, etc.
2. Semantic - Here “noise” is generated
internally resulting from errors in the
message itself: ambiguity, grammatical
errors, wrong spellings, incorrect
punctuation, etc.

20. Situation
• The time and place where communication
occurs.

21. Feedback
• The receiver’s message that he or she sends to
the source in response to the sender’s
message.
• It can be form of verbal and non-verbal
response.

22. Feedback may be positive or negative
• Positive feedback occurs when the receiver
receives the desired response based on a clear
understanding of the symbols used in the
message.
• Negative feedback occurs when there is an
undesired response because of
miscommunication.

23. • Feedback may be either immediate or
delayed. For example, oral responses are
immediately conveyed but in case of written
communication, the feedback may take some
time.
