Steps and Components of the Communication Process


I. What is the communication process?
The communication process refers to a series of actions or steps taken in order to
successfully communicate. It involves several components such as the sender of
the communication, the actual message being sent, the encoding of the message,
the receiver and the decoding of the message. There are also various channels of
communication to consider within the communication process. This refers to the
way a message is sent. This can be through various mediums such as voice,
audio, video, writing email, fax or body language. The overall goal of the
communication process is to present an individual or party with information and
have them understand it.
II. Parts of the communication process
The communication process has several components that enable the
transmission of a message. Here are the various parts:
1. Sender: This is the person that is delivering a message to a recipient.
2. Message: This refers to the information that the sender is relaying to the
receiver.
3. Channel of communication: This is the transmission or method of
delivering the message.
4. Decoding: This is the interpretation of the message. Decoding is
performed by the receiver.
5. Receiver: The receiver is the person who is getting or receiving the
message.
6. Feedback: In some instances, the receiver might have feedback or a
response for the sender. This starts an interaction.
III. 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:
1. The sender develops an idea to be sent.
2. The sender encodes the message.
3. The sender selects the channel of communication that will be used.
4. The message travels over the channel of communication.

5. The message is received by the receiver.


6. The receiver decodes the message.
7. 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 analyze 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.
