Nature of Communication

What is Communication?
Nature of Communication

Communication is derived from the Latin


word communicare , which means “to share” or
“to make common”. So, we define
communication as the act or process of
exchanging information for a common
understanding. It involves a Speaker imparting
ideas, concepts, and data to a group of
listeners (the audience)—this is
Communication.
Nature of Communication

Communication is about two people


talking such as with a sibling, parent, a teacher,
or a friend, face to face in real life or even via
the Internet. It is also a group of people talking
with one another to solve a problem, for
example, discussing with classmates about how
a report should be done. Even buying a snack
from a vendor outside the school campus is
considered communication.
Any communication involves
transaction: a person wants to talk
to someone. For example, if a
student needs permission to attend
a school field trip, the student has
to ask his/her parents.
Communication is stirring up
ideas in the mind of another. It
is sharing of ideas among a
group of people. It is imparting
concepts to an audience.
What is Oral Communication?
Oral Communication

- is the process of verbally


transmitting one’s ideas or
feelings to others. Effective oral
communication will take you to
academic, career, and
relationship success.
Two types of oral
communication:
informal and formal
Informal oral communication
includes face to face
conversations, telephones
conversations, and casual
discussions in class and
organizations.
Formal oral communication
are presentations in
conferences, forms, or business
meetings; class lectures; and
delivering a speech, sermon, or
talk.
In the millennial age, modern
types of oral communication
continue to evolve transcending
distances as people can
communicate globally.
They include video calls and
videoconferences through VoIP
or voice over Internet protocol, a
technology that transmits voice
and multimedia content over IP
networks.
Elements
of
Communication
Elements of Communication

1. Speaker/sender – the source of information or


message.
2. Message – the element transmitted in
communication. It may consist of the idea,
opinion, information, feeling, emotion and
attitude or skill.
3. Encoding – the process of converting the
message into words, actions, or other forms
that the speaker understands.
Elements of Communication

4. Channel – the medium or the means,


such as personal or non-personal, verbal
or nonverbal, in which the encoded
message is conveyed.
5. Decoding – the process of interpreting
the encoded message of the speaker by
the receiver.
Elements of Communication

6. Receiver/Listener –the listener receives


the message.
7. Feedback – the reactions, responses, or
information provided by the receiver.
8. “Noise” is any barrier to communication.
Three Types of Noise

1. Physical noise- actual noise such as


loud music or irritating engine of a
motorcycle. Even a seatmate who talks to
you while the teacher is explaining the
lesson is “noise” because it prevents you
from listening to the teacher.
2. The second type of “noise” is
physiological -when the body becomes a
hindrance to good communication. For
example, because of a headache or
toothache, one may not be able to
effectively listen to a friend, listen to music,
or do anything for that matter.
3. The third type is psychological “noise”
which occurs when one is thinking deeply
about something or is suffering from an
emotional condition (sadness, depression,
confusion), which discourages
participation in a communication situation.
Elements of Communication

9. Communicative Situation has two


components: the physical location and the
psychological setting.
The physical location is usually chosen
for the purpose it will serve: a classroom
that can be used for a meeting, an
auditorium which can be transformed into
a theatre for a play, and the streets that
serve as the setting for rallies.
The psychological setting depends on the
participants. The classroom is for teaching, but
the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) holds its
meeting there; the auditorium for school program
is now the stage for the Drama Club’s production
of “Supremo”, the Life of Bonifacio; the streets
meant for moving vehicles to traverse is now
used by the group One Billion Rising to hold a
rally protesting violence against women.
The Communication Process
Verbal Communication
and
Nonverbal Communication
Verbal Communication refers to an
interaction in which words are used to
relay a message. For effective and
successful verbal communication, use
words to express ideas which can be
easily understood by the person you are
talking to.
Verbal Communication
and
Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal communication refers to an
interaction where behaviour is used to convey and
represent meanings. All kinds of human responses
that are not expressed in words are classified as
nonverbal communication. Examples of nonverbal
communication are stares, smiles, tone of voice,
movements, manners of walking, standing and
sitting, appearance, style of attire, attitude towards
time and space, personality, gestures, and others.
FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION
ACTIVITY

life. Enumerate situations where communication
takes place. Then, indicate the result of the
communication transaction and tell whether it is
successful or not by writing the elements that
made it so and specify its function on the third
column. An example is provided for you. Use a
separate sheet of paper to answer this.
