Elements of Communication Process



Communication is the process of exchange of ideas, views, facts, feelings,


etc., between two or more persons in order to reach a common understanding.

“Communication is the lifeline of any relationship.” - Elizabeth Bourgeret

“Communication is the sum of all things, a person does when he wants to


create an understanding in the minds of another. It involves a systematic and
continuous process of telling, listening and understanding” – Louis Allen

“Communication is a process by which people create and share information with


one another in order to reach common understanding” – Rogers

In the process of communication, at least two persons are required: Sender


and Receiver. The process of communication begins when a sender wishes to
convey some idea, facts, information or opinion to the receiver. The idea is
conceived by the sender and is put in such terms that can be conveyed. He
decides the channel of communication and conveys the idea. The idea is
received by the receiver, and after understanding the idea, action is taken
according to the information or direction received from the source.

The process of communication involves the following steps:

1. Context – The situation where the communication happens. E.g. at the


office, at the market, at the library

2. Sender - The person who conveys his thoughts, message or ideas to the
receiver is known as the sender. He is at the starting point of the
communication system and represents the source of communication.
E.g., In a classroom, a teacher is a sender.

3. Message - The subject matter of communication is termed as messages.


It includes ideas, feelings, suggestions, order, etc., which a sender wants
to convey to the receiver.
4. Encoding - The process of converting messages into communication
symbols, which may be understood by the receiver. It includes words,
pictures, gestures, symbols, etc. Encoding translates the internal thought
of the sender into a language which can be understandable.

5. Media - The path, channel or medium through which encoded message is


transmitted to the receiver is known as media. It is the carrier of the
message. It can be in written form, face to face, through telephone, letter,
internet, etc.

6. Decoding - The process of translating the encoded message into an


effective language, which can be understood by the receiver is known as
decoding. In this, the encoded symbols of the sender are converted.

7. Receiver - The person who receives the message of the sender is known
as the receiver. E.g., Students are receivers in the classroom.

8. Feedback - In order to complete the process of communication, feedback


is essential. The process of reversal of communication in which the
receiver expresses his reaction to the sender of the message is known as
feedback. Feedback ensures that the receiver has received and
understood the message.

9. Noise - Any construction or hindrance which hampers the communication


process is known as noise. The hindrance may be caused by the sender,
message or receiver. It acts as a barrier to effective communication and
because of this message is interpreted differently by the receiver.
Disturbance in the telephone line, inattentive receiver, faulty decoding,
poor internet connection, improper gestures and postures, etc., are some
examples of noise.
