ORAL COMMUNICATIO N IN CONTEXT THE DEFINITION, NATURE, FUNCTIONS, AND ELEMENTS IN THE PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION  WHAT IS ORAL COMMUNICATION IN CONTEXT? ORAL – by word of mouth; spoken rather than written COMMUNICATION – imparting/exchanging information CONTEXT – the factors that work together to determine the meaning of a message WHAT IS COMMUNICATION? COMMUNICATION DEFINITION OF COMMUNICATION  COMMUNICATION “communis” meaning “working together” “communicare” meaning “to share or to have something in common” Communication is the act of transferring information from one person to another person or a group. Communication involves at least one sender, a message, and a receiver; but communication is more than just a transmission of information. It requires success in transmitting or sending a message. Communication is a process of sharing and conveying messages or information from one person to another within and across channels, contexts, media, and cultures (McCornack, 2014).  COMMUNICATION Dynamic Communicators Systematic Irreversible Proactive Symbolic interaction NATURE OF COMMUNICATION THREE (3) NATURE OF COMMUNICATION 1.Communication is a process. 2.Communication is interactive. 3.Communication is symbolic. FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION 1.Regulation / Control Communication functions to control behavior. It can be used to regulate the nature and number of activities people engage in. “Take your medicine before you go to bed.” “Finish your work before you go.” 2. Social Interaction Communication allows people to interact with others to develop bonds or intimacy. It also allows individuals to express desires, encouragement, needs, and decision or to give and get information. “Would you like to go to church with me?” “Come on! You can do it!” 3.

It can be used in giving and getting information. “The Philippine Normal University was founded in 1901.” “You can find the bathroom right next to this door” PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATION  SENDER The sender is the one who initiates the message that needs to be transmitted. He sends the message that may be in different forms such as pictures, symbols, postures, gestures, or even just a smile. After generating the idea, he sends it in such a manner that can be understood clearly by the receiver.  MESSAGE Message refers to the information intended to be communicated by words as in speech, letters, pictures, or symbols. It can be verbal or non-verbal. It is the content the sender wants to convey to the receiver.  ENCODING It is the process of expressing the idea into appropriate medium. It may be verbal or non- verbal. The sender may put the message into a series of symbols, words, pictures or gestures.  CHANNEL It refers the medium or passage through which encoded message is passed to the receiver. It may be transmitted through face-to-face communication, telephone, radio, television, memorandum, or computer.  RECEIVER Receiver refers to whom the message is meant for. He plays a significant role in the communication process like the sender. He needs to comprehend the message sent. His translation of the message received depends on his/her knowledge of the subject matter of the message, experience, and relationship with the sender.  DECODING It means translating the encoded message into a language that can be understood by the receiver. After receiving the message, the receiver interprets it and tries to understand it.  FEEDBACK It refers to the response of the receiver to the message sent to him/her by the sender. Feedback ensures that the message has been effectively encoded and decoded.  NOISE It is a hindrance to communication. This can take place at any step in the entire communication process. There are various types of noise. Examples of physical noise are loud music, an irritating sound of an engine of a machine, or a classmate who talks to you while the teacher is giving a lecture. The second type of noise is physiological – when the body becomes the hindrance to communication such as headache, toothache, or hunger. The third type is psychological noise that refers to qualities in us that affect how we communicate and interpret others such as prejudice and any feeling can interfere with communication. Noise is considered as a barrier to effective communication.
