the process of communication happen to start take a look at these pictures what do you think do these pictures show correct these pictures show us the idea of communication but what is communication why is communication important communication is from the latin term comunicare which means to share or to make common this suggests that communication is an act that brings people together or an experience shared by individuals who subsequently establish relationships and communities communication is a two-way process of connecting to both living and non-living things it is also a means of sharing and exchanging messages information ideas and feelings for mutual understanding we exchange ideas with the end goal of understanding one another's messages from the miniature recap to the moment you sleep you engage in communication as you move from your comfort zone towards a wider community around you you constantly perceive and express ideas you may be doing so with your family members with your classmates or even with yourself because communication is important in interacting with others it is important to understand its nature and elements let's start with its nature number one communication is a process it may be seen as a flow of information this simply means that communication among people is active and cyclical it begins from one step then to another step number two communication occurs between two or more people in here the sender and the speaker take an active part this emphasizes social contact among humans in other words communication is interactive number three communication can be expressed through written or spoken words actions are non-verbal or both spoken words and nonverbal actions at the same time this means that communication is symbolic communication is divided into elements which help us better understand its mechanics or process the elements are the following number one sender or speaker this represents the source of information or message he or she is the one who delivers the message the receiver number two is the message this refers to the information ideas or thoughts conveyed by the speaker in words or actions number three is encoding this is the process of converting the message into words actions or other forms that the speaker understands number four is channel this serves as the vehicle used in transmitting messages or ideas it can be personal or non-personal written verbal or spoken or nonverbal which refers to actions gestures or facial expression in which the encoded message is conveyed number five is decoding it is the process of interpreting the encoded message this is done by the receiver the receiver is the recipient or the one who receives the message next is feedback this refers to the reactions responses or information provided by the receiver number eight is context this is the environment where communication takes place it can be a face-to-face interaction a fun conversation a group discussion a meeting or interview a letter a class recitation and many others number nine is barrier this is a factor that affects the flow of communication noise is an example of a barrier it can affect the sending and the receiving of the message now that you know the nature and elements of communication let's talk about its process how does communication take place who are involved what processes are considered let's study this illustration as seen in the illustration communication begins when the speaker or source of communication responds to stimulus and decides encode or transmitted in the form of a message or code through a particular channel or means of communication the receiver decodes or interprets the message sent and responds accordingly based on his interpretation of the message this response comes in the form of a feedback sent to the original source of the message that is the sender as the communication transaction continues the sender and the receiver may exchange roles until understanding is achieved warriors to communication sometimes black the transmission of the message thereby creating misunderstanding through this process we are able to understand that communication is systematic in the advent of technology the exchange of information and messages in society has advanced and has been a subject of many studies by understanding the process of communication we can also duly avoid misunderstandings or miscommunication now let's have a recap of what we have learned [Music] remember that communication is the process of sending and receiving messages through verbal and non-verbal means it can happen between two or more people it is interactive and it is symbolic what are its elements there are nine elements namely sender message encoding channel decoding receiver feedback context and barrier the process starts from the sender the sender generates an idea encodes it into a message then delivers it through channel when the receiver gets the message he decodes or interprets it based on the context the sending and the reception of the message can be affected by a barrier the receiver can also send back a message which is called feedback as the communication transaction continues the sender and the receiver may exchange roles until understanding is achieved so there you go i hope you were able to understand the nature and process of communication this time let's have a game it's called what's the word i am going to show you pictures then give the element of communication that these pictures are referring to you can write your answers on your notebook you will be given 10 seconds to answer each item are you ready let's start here's the first item [Music] number two number three number four number five [Music] number six [Music] number seven [Music] number eight [Music] and number nine [Music] now let's check your answers for the first item the pictures depict a message for the next these pictures show a sender how about this yes it's feedback and for number four yes these pictures depict a receiver for number five the pictures mean contacts how about number six good they refer to the element encoding for number seven it's barrier very good number eight it's decoding [Music] and for the last item channel is being depicted there you go did you get the correct answers [Music] very good this time let's have another activity it's called social media post show what you've learned creatively compose a twitter or facebook post of your most important insights about the definition nature and process
