The Message
The "message" is the information, idea,
thought, or feeling that the speaker wants
to convey to the receiver. It is the core
content of the communication process and
can be expressed through various forms,
such as spoken words, written text, body
language, or visual aids.
The Encoding
is the process by which the speaker or
sender converts their thoughts, ideas, or
feelings into a form that can be transmitted
as a message. This involves choosing the
right words, symbols, gestures, or signs to
express the intended meaning.
The Decoding
The process by which the receiver
interprets or makes sense of the message
sent by the sender. In the communication
process, the sender encodes their thoughts
or ideas into a message using symbols,
language, or gestures. When this message
reaches the receiver, they decode it to
understand its meaning.
The Feedback
Refers to the response or reaction of the
receiver to the sender's message. It is a
crucial element of the communication
process, as it helps the sender understand
how the message was perceived and
whether it was understood correctly.
Feedback can be verbal, like asking
questions or providing comments, or non-
verbal, such as nodding, facial expressions,
The Barrier
In communication, noise is anything that stops a receiver from fully comprehending a message. Noise can be both external and internal, and it can disrupt communication at any time.
