    Nature and Elements of Communication

    • Communication is a process of sharing messages or information between individuals.
    • Originates from the Latin word "comunicare," meaning “to share” or “to make common.”
    • Utilizes verbal and nonverbal cues, including body language, facial expressions, and gestures to convey messages.

    The Process of Communication

    • Receiver: The individual who receives the message; responsible for translating words into thoughts and formulating a response.
    • Feedback: The response of the receiver that can be verbal or nonverbal, such as nodding or body language.

    Communication Models

    • A communication model simplifies the communication process through visual representation.
    • Models help identify potential barriers to effective communication and illustrate the roles of different elements.
    • Key channels include written formats (print or digital), oral communication, and multimedia.

    Types of Communication Model

    • Linear Model: Describes one-way communication, where a sender transmits a message to a receiver without dialogue.
    • Example of one-way communication: Radio broadcasting, where a message is sent to a large audience.

    Schramm's Model

    • Schramm's model emphasizes a continuous process involving encoding and decoding of messages.
    • Components of Schramm's Model:
      • Sender:
        • Acts as an encoder by formulating the message.
        • Transforms the encoded message into comprehensible language for the receiver.
      • Receiver:
        • Acts as a decoder by interpreting the received message and creating meaning.
