ORAL COMMUNICATION IN CONTEXT

Less
on Various Models of Communication

You might have come across an essay discussing a specific concept which you
find difficulty to understand because of its length. Let me introduce you to the
functions of a model. A model is widely used to depict any idea, thought or a concept
in a more simple way through diagrams, pictorial representations etc. Models go a
long way in making the understanding of any concept easy and clear. Through a
model one can easily understand a process and draw conclusions from it. In simpler
words a model makes the learning simple.

The next activity will let you connect your understanding about our previous
lesson about the nature, process and functions of communication about the new topic.

Activity 1. Explain Me!

Directions: Explain what the illustration below is describing about communication.
Write your answer in the space provided.

Activity 2: Describe Me!

Directions: Read the passage below and fill in the boxes in the flow chart to describe
the concept presented.

7 Steps to Develop Good Oral Communication

Some people naturally distrust other people, because they do not know what
the other one is thinking. Therefore, the sooner that you come out and say what you
want, the sooner you can begin establishing trust. Second, speaking clearly can
sometimes be a problem since not. Next, recognize the problems in communication. It
is wise to avoid saying anything questionable that might confuse a listener, or
inadvertently provoke a negative reaction. The next step is to learn how to use tone
and body language. Together In trying to improve your own communication, beware
of a defensive posture or negative voice inflection. Fifth is to never assume anything.
Assumptions are another common problem, whether they are self-fulfilled
assumptions or merely assuming that others see things in the exact same way that
you do. Never assume—the fact of the matter is that most people do not see things
the way that you do, nor do they have the same feelings as you do. Sometimes, there
is a need to recognize communication issues caused by technology. And that is the
next step. With the advent of new technologies also come new technology-related
barriers in communication. Sometimes messages can be misunderstood because of
cell phone static. Lastly, learn how to talk business. If you are trying to get someone
to open up then try using open-ended questions rather than yes or no interrogations.
When reviewing your own tactful manner analyze how you approach people.

Great job! The illustrations in the previous activities are examples of models.
The first model describes the process of communication, its elements and the process
using a diagram. And the second model allows you to fill those boxes with information
on how to develop oral communication skills.
Activity 3: True of False

Directions: Write TRUE if the statement tells a fact about the models of
communication and FALSE if not. Write your answer in the space provided.

________1. According to the Transactional Model, people are both sender and receiver
at the same time.
________2. The best model to explain the complexities of face-to-face communication
is the Interactive Model.
________3. The content of the message is called the noise.
________4. To convert a message into groups of words, symbols, gestures, or sounds
that present ideas or concepts is called encoding
________5. Any communication that conveys a message consisting of words is called
nonverbal communication.
________6. Decoding is the process by which the receiver interprets the symbols used
by the source of the message by converting them into concepts and ideas.
________7. Noise is the interference within the communication process.
________8. Context is any medium within the communication process.
________9. Shannon & Weaver Model is an example of a Linear Communication Model.
________10. An interpreter is the one who analyzes or perceives the message

Activity 6: Paragraph Completion

Directions: Fill in the blanks with correct word or phrase about the unique
characteristics of the various models of communication
In linear communication model, communication is considered as _________ process.
The message signal is encoded and transmitted through ________ in presence of noise.
The _______ is more prominent in this model is applied in __________communication like
television, radio, etc.
In transactional model, the ________ between sender and receiver where each take
turns to send or receive messages. Both sender and receiver are known as
___________. It is mostly used for ___________ communication and is also called circular
model of communication.
Lastly, interactive model, also known as “__________ model” deals with exchange of
ideas and messages taking place _______ ways from sender to receiver and vice-versa.

Activity 7: Family Model

Directions: Write a paragraph that will describe and analyze the communication that
takes place in your family using a specific model. Which model best reflects the
communication between family members and why?
