Some other examples of barriers come from outside factors such as the setting of the conversation , listener and speaker’s feelings or moods, and cultural barriers.

11. Communication Is the process of expressing and exchanging information, thoughts, ideas, and feelings. According to Wood (20004), communication is a systematic process in which individuals interact with and through symbols to create and interpret meaning. Communication is a process of sharing and conveying messages or information from one person to another within and across channels, contexts, media, and cultures ( McCornack , 2014).

13. Nature if communication

14. Communication is a process Communication is systematic Communication is symbolic Communication involves meaning

15. Different Levels of communication

16. Process of communication

17. Components Speaker Message Encoding Channel Decoding Receiver Feedback Context Barrier

18. Communication Breakdown and Noise Breakdowns occur in the communication process from time to time, Occurs when the message or the feedback is not sent or received properly- at least in the way that sender intends- or is not received by the concerned party altogether. Noise is a technical term used to refer to all the possible barriers to effective communication.

19. Kinds of Noise Physical Noise Psychological Noise Physiological Noise Semantic Noise

20. Process of Communication The speaker generates an idea. The speaker encodes an idea or converts the idea into words or actions. The speaker transmits or sends out a message. The receiver gets the message. The receiver decodes or interprets the message based on the context . The receiver sends or provides feedback .

21. Example Daphne loves Rico, her suitor, as a friend. She thinks of how to tell him using their native language. She tells him, “Rico, mahal kita bilang kaibigan .” Rico hears what Daphne says. He tries to analyze what she means based on the content and their relationship, and he is heartbroken. He frowns and does not say something, because he is in pain.

22. Models of communication

23. Linear Communication model Shows a straight path of relaying information. One directional Proposed by Aristotle

24. Interactive Communication model Two way process Interaction

25. Transaction Model Developed by Dean Barnlund Shows communication as occurring continuously and simultaneously between or among people. T he Transaction Model is a two-way process with the inclusion of feedback as one element.

26. Shannon-Weaver Model Known as the mother of all communication models, Shannon-Weaver model (1949) depicts communication as a linear or one-way process consisting of five elements This model, however, has been criticized for missing one essential element in the communication process: feedback .

27. Study the diagram. It represents the Schramm Model. Schramm (1954) modified the Shannon-Weaver Model. What has Schramm added to the Shannon-Weaver Model? Is the new model more comprehensive? Why do you think so?

28. Stand up. Think of one fact that you know about communication and share it with everyone. Once you have shared something, you can sit down and listen to what the rest of the class has to share.
