Communication is a process that occurs between two or more people through spoken words, written text, actions, or a combination. There are key elements to communication including a speaker that encodes a message, a channel to transmit the message, a receiver that decodes the message, and potential barriers that can hinder the process. Context and feedback from the receiver are also important elements impacting communication.
