Parts of The Communication Process

The communication process has seven key components: a sender who develops an idea and encodes a message; a channel of communication over which the message travels; a receiver who decodes and provides feedback to the sender. Specifically, it involves the sender creating a message, selecting a channel to transmit it through, the message being received, and interpreted by the receiver who may then provide feedback.

Parts of the communication process

The communication process has several components that enable the transmission of a
message. Here are the various parts:

Sender:

This is the person that is delivering a message to a recipient.

Message:

This refers to the information that the sender is relaying to the receiver.

Channel of communication:

This is the transmission or method of delivering the message.

Decoding:

This is the interpretation of the message. Decoding is performed by the receiver.

Receiver:

The receiver is the person who is getting or receiving the message.

Feedback:

In some instances, the receiver might have feedback or a response for the sender. This starts
an interaction.

How does the communication process work?

In order to successfully communicate, it's important to understand how the process works.
Here are the seven steps in the communication process:

 The sender develops an idea to be sent.


 The sender encodes the message.
 The sender selects the channel of communication that will be used.
 The message travels over the channel of communication.
 The message is received by the receiver.
 The receiver decodes the message.
 The receiver provides feedback, if applicable.

1. The sender develops an idea to be sent


The beginning of the communication process involves the sender creating an idea that they
plan to send to another person or group of people. Essentially, they're planning the overall
subject matter or information they want to transmit.

2. The sender encodes the message

Once the sender develops an idea, they translate it into a form that can be transmitted to
someone else. This means they transform the thoughts of the information they want to send
into a certain format. For example, if you are writing a letter, you'll translate your idea into
words. The message can also be nonverbal, oral or symbolic.

3. The sender selects the channel of communication that will be used

Next, the sender decides how the message will be sent. This involves selecting the most
suitable medium for the message they're relaying. Some communication mediums include
speaking, writing, electronic transmission or nonverbal communication. If you're
communicating at work, make sure to select the proper and most professional channel of
communication.

4. The message travels over the channel of communication

After the medium is chosen, the message then begins the process of transmission. The exact
process of this will depend on the selected medium. In order for the message to be properly
sent, the sender should have selected the appropriate medium.

5. The message is received by the receiver

Next, the message is received by the recipient. This step in the communication process is
done by hearing the message, seeing it, feeling it or another form of reception.

6. The receiver decodes the message

The receiver then decodes the sender's message. In other words, they interpret it and convert
it into a thought. After they've done this, they analyse the message and attempt to understand
it. The communication process is performed effectively when the sender and receiver have
the same meaning for the transmitted message.

7. The receiver provides feedback, if applicable

Lastly, unless it's a one-way communication, the receiver will provide feedback in the form of
a reply to the original sender of the message. Feedback provides the recipient with the ability
to ensure the sender that their message was properly received and interpreted. Between two
people, this is two-way communication.
