Process
Elements of Communication Process
• 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. 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.


2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

6. Receiver:
• The person who receives the message of the sender is known as the
receiver.

• E.g., Students are receivers in the classroom.


7. 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.
8. Noise:
• Any construction or hindrance which hampers the communication
process is known as noise.

• The hindrance may be caused to 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.
