10. Process of Communication

13. Parts of the communication process
Communication is a two-way process involving the following elements:
• a sender
• a message
• a medium, a channel
• a receiver
• a response and feedback.

14. • However, it is not sufficient to have just all these elements; there
should be cooperation and understanding between the two parties
involved.
• It is important to have a common frame of reference or context for
successful and meaningful communication, e.g. a common language
or common interpretation of a gesture.

17. Justification to the previous Question
• They Can't Talk or Express their taught or communications with each
other easily, but they can express very little communications if they
use - body language, hand sign, face expressions, and/ or by drawing
pictures on a paper, but still it is very difficult to communicate with
each other in this condition.

18. How does the communication process work?
In order to successfully communicate, it's important to understand how
the process works. Here are the seven steps in the communication
process:
The sender develops an idea to be sent.
The sender encodes the message.
The sender selects the channel of communication that will be used.
The message travels over the channel of communication.
The message is received by the receiver.
The receiver decodes the message.
The receiver provides feedback, if applicable.

20. 1. The sender develops an idea to be sent
• The beginning of the communication process involves the sender
creating an idea that they plan to send to another person or group of
people. Essentially, they're planning the overall subject matter or
information they want to transmit.

21. 2. The sender encodes the message
• Once the sender develops an idea, they translate it into a form that
can be transmitted to someone else. This means they transform the
thoughts of the information they want to send into a certain format.
For example, if you are writing a letter, you'll translate your idea into
words. The message can also be nonverbal, oral or symbolic.

22. 3. The sender selects the channel of
communication that will be used
• Next, the sender decides how the message will be sent. This involves
selecting the most suitable medium for the message they're relaying.
Some communication mediums include speaking, writing, electronic
transmission or nonverbal communication. If you're communicating
at work, make sure to select the proper and most professional
channel of communication.

23. 4. The message travels over the channel of
communication
• After the medium is chosen, the message then begins the process of
transmission. The exact process of this will depend on the selected
medium. In order for the message to be properly sent, the sender
should have selected the appropriate medium.

24. 5. The message is received by the receiver
• Next, the message is received by the recipient. This step in the
communication process is done by hearing the message, seeing it,
feeling it or another form of reception.

25. 6. The receiver decodes the message
• The receiver then decodes the sender's message. In other words, they
interpret it and convert it into a thought. After they've done this, they
analyze the message and attempt to understand it. The
communication process is performed effectively when the sender and
receiver have the same meaning for the transmitted message.

26. 7. The receiver provides feedback, if applicable
• Lastly, unless it's a one-way communication, the receiver will provide
feedback in the form of a reply to the original sender of the message.
Feedback provides the recipient with the ability to ensure the sender
that their message was properly received and interpreted. Between
two people, this is two-way communication.

32. Tips for improving the communication process
• Simplify your message: In order to ensure your message is properly understood,
you should keep your language simple and to the point.
• Know your audience: It's also important to consider the audience that will
receive your message as well as their needs and interests.
• Be a good listener: As a communicator, it's important to actively listen to what
those around you are saying. This will ensure that you're sending the right
message.
• Ask questions: It's also important to ask good questions to keep the
communication flowing. Make sure your questions are insightful and engaging.

33. • Take the time to respond: When communicating, it's important to consider how you might reply
to a person to ensure you know what you want to say.
• Consider your body language: If you're communicating through a different medium, it's
important to be mindful of your body language. In addition, be aware of the body language of the
person you're communicating with, as well.
• Maintain eye contact: It's also important to make contact with the person or group you're
communicating with. This will show that you're actively listening to who you're communicating
with.
• Clarify your message if needed: If the recipient of your message is unclear about what you're
trying to say, it's important to clarify your message. This will help them to better understand you.
