Eugene White proposed an 8-stage model of communication that begins with thinking in the speaker and ends with monitoring by the speaker. The stages are: 1) thinking, 2) expressing, 3) symbolizing, 4) feedback, 5) decoding, 6) monitoring, 7) transmitting, and 8) receiving. The model depicts communication as a repetitive, cyclical process that starts with a thought or feeling in the speaker that they then express through language and symbols to the listener, who decodes and provides feedback, allowing the speaker to monitor understanding and adjust their message.

2. EUGENE WHITE’S MODEL

3. ● Eugene White gave his communication students a sequence of events
that takes place in communication.
● Implies step-by-step that start with thinking in the speaker and ends
with monitoring with the speaker.
● Communication is a repetitive cyclical event but the dynamic quality of
interaction is not depicted.
● The speaker is the originator of the communication process and listener
is a passive reactor who does not initiate communication.

4. THESE EIGHT STAGES OF COMMUNICATION ARE;
1. Thinking
a desire, feeling, or an emotion provides a communicator or stimulus
to communicate at a need.
2. Expressing
the communicator can then use his/her vocal mechanism to produce
the sounds of language accompanied by his/her facial expression, gesture
and body stance.

5. 3. Symbolizing
Before the communicator can utter a sound/s he/she has to
know the code of oral language with which to represents
his/her ides and in order to make the selection.
4. Feedback
the listener may manifest over behavior at all ( court behavior like fast heartbeat, a poker
face etc.)
5. Decoding
the listener interprets the language symbol he receive and thinks further.

6. 6. Monitoring
while the speaker watches for signs of reception or understanding of his message
among his listeners, he is also attend on what’s going inside him, the speaker is
receiving, and decoding messages about himself from his audience in order to adjust
to the particular situation.
7. Transmitting
waves of sound spreading at 1,000 feet per second and wave of light travelling at a
speed of 186,000 miles per second carry the speaker messages to the listeners.

7. 8. Receiving
sound waves impinge upon the listener’s ears after which the resulting serve
impulses reach the brain via optic nerve.
