GOOD MORNING! ORAL COMMUNICATION IN CONTEXT MS. IRISH A. FAELDONIA LEARNING COMPETENCIES Defines communication. (EN11/12OC-Ia-1) Explains the functions, nature, and process of communication (EN11/12OC-Ia-2) TOPIC The Functions, Nature, and Process of Communication Communication Websters define communication as a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common systems of symbols, signs or behavior. 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). Talking,email Nature of Communication 1. Communication is a process. It takes place when two or more people exchange ideas either through written or spoken words (verbal) or actions (nonverbal). Both verbal and nonverbal can be used at the same time. 2. Communication is much more of an Art than a Science. There is no right or wrong way to communicate – no set of absolute rules to be followed but there are underlying principles to guide us into effective communication. 3. Communication as a sender and receiver. It occurs between two or more people acting as a speaker or the receiver of the message. 4. Communication is verbal and nonverbal. Can be expressed through written or spoken words or actions. It does involve ideas and emotions that are expressed through signs, symbols and gestures. 5. Communication is inevitable/ irreversible/ unrepeatable. Means communication is taking place even when someone does not want or intend to communicate. The Process of Communication The elements in the Process of Communication SENDER 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. 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 refers to whom the message is meant for. 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. Noise is considered as a barrier to effective communication. 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.
