talk about the nature and process of communication what is communication what are its elements and how does the process of communication work let's figure them out all together are you ready let's get the ball rolling let's start by watching this short clip [Music] did you understand the message conveyed in the video do you know what this means i know you do because that is the power of communication it allows us to send and receive a message using various forms anyone can simply nod his head and we would already know he is agreeing don't you agree i could ask you a question call your name or say and you would know right ahead that i want to talk to you we humans are social beings and we live to interact regularly with others back in the history of mankind the early man could not speak as you do today but they were able to communicate with the use of various techniques such as symbols gestures sounds drawings or sign languages over the years communication has also advanced it has developed side by side with technology in the 21st century we can send text messages call someone's phone take video calls and send chat messages these allow us to communicate easier with people no matter the distance isn't communication just very convenient for all of us i know right but communication is not just convenient it's also imperative take a look at this comic strips hi i'm gary can i sit here yes by the way what's your name i don't know anyone here yet i just transferred from the province what about you are you new here or have we been here since grade seven this school is so big and buildings are tall i can't wait for the rest of the school year i'm sorry who are you i'm gary remember what happened there can we call that a successful communication that's right we can't ben only responded to the first question he glanced at gary but did not listen to what he said at all in the beginning of the conversation gary introduced himself but ben did not even remember his name at the end this only goes to show that without speaking listening and understanding we will never be able to understand each other speaking listening and understanding are key factors to successful communication because communication is a two-way process it's a cycle by means of sharing and transferring messages information ideas or emotions from one person to another this connects people and helps build harmonious relationships we must learn to speak to other people with courtesy and listen to what they say respectfully as mentioned earlier communication comes in various forms it may be expressed through written words or symbols spoken words or even through actions written words or symbols in communication are messages which are written typed or printed some examples of this are letters text messages emails chat messages street signs billboard signs and many more spoken words on the other hand are those which are delivered orally yes these are sounds produced using our vocal tract written and spoken words are what we call verbal communication because of the use of letters and words lastly actions are expressed through movement of the body parts your gestures posture facial expression enhanced signals express a message that may be interpreted by the person you are talking to this is what we call non-verbal communication it is communicating without the use of words just actions to better understand let's take a look at this picture how is communication expressed is the successful communication process achieved in this situation that is correct communication do exist when you're watching a television much like what we're doing right now i am trying to communicate the lesson to you and as you listen and understand you are making this process of communication successful you are doing great let's have one last picture will this situation lead to a successful communication process that is spot on it will definitely lead to successful communication having a conversation with someone else is the sole definition of communication so now you see communication exists in all kinds of situation and a communication process will not be deemed successful without the presence of its basic elements there are five basic elements of communication these are sender receiver [Music] message [Music] channel [Music] and feedback [Music] let's go over each element one by one the sender also called the speaker is the source of message information idea or emotion it could be you or the person who is talking to you the receiver on the other hand is the recipient of the message or the intended audience of the sender it could also be you or the person you are talking to in our current state you are the receiver and i am the sender the third element is the message it contains information its opinions thoughts and emotions it is basically what the sender wants to say to the receiver channel is the medium or the means of communication that is used to deliver the message is the message delivered through speaking writing letters television or radio these are just few examples of the different channels that we can use to deliver our message the last element is feedback it refers to the reactions responses or information provided by the receiver this is the response of the audience you are talking to but just as the reminder no response is also a response now the big question is how did these elements become the building blocks of communication let me show you through this activity let's figure it out through this diagram a diagram is now flashed on your screen there are five blank boxes in the diagram label the boxes with the five basic elements of communication where do you think should each one be placed let's answer it together on the box in the upper left corner the label should be descended without the center the process of communication will not begin the process starts with the sender encodes through a channel encoding through a channel is constructing your message in your mind through writing through digital platforms or through your prepared media once encoding is done the message is now ready to be transmitted to the receiver after the receiver receives the message the next step is to decode the coding is reading or listening and understanding the message given by the sender when decoding has been achieved the feedback will now be given by the receiver to the sender and the cycle goes on through this process we can conclude that communication is truly systematic but wait just a gear reminder barriers to communication may sometimes block the transmission of the message thereby creating misunderstandings so watch out for these barriers my dear students we have finally discussed what communication is what its elements are and how its process work now why do we communicate communication serves many purposes we always say things to people for a reason we inform clarify promote advise teach affirm criticize question express persuade reveal deny and many more in the coming episodes we will dig deeper to the functions of communication but for now i want you to open your module

the first column write down two situations where communication takes place then in the second column indicate the result of the communication transaction as well as whether it was successful or not by writing the elements that made it so and lastly on the third column specify its function allow me to show you an example in the first column the situation is when i was 12 my father told me that i am in charge of cooking rice for lunch every day whenever i am available one time i forgot to cook rice because i got busy with my assignment as a result we did not have rice to eat my father reminded me about the task assigned to me in the second column the result of the communication transaction is the message was clear that i need to perform my task at first the communication was successful i thought the other family members would do my task because i was doing other things my fault there was that i failed to communicate to them that i was busy doing my assignment have i communicated this
