 ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Sender
source of the message
or information
speaker or encoder
responsible for putting
meaning into his/her
message
In the illustration, you will see the teacher being labeled as the
sender since she is the one giving the information to her audience.
 ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Message
the information, ideas, or
thoughts conveyed by
the speaker in words or
in actions
an important element
that is being shared by
the sender and the
As in the illustration above, the message is all about receiver.
communication which is lesson of the day.
 ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Encoding
the process of
converting the message
into words, actions, or
other forms that the
speaker understands

The sender is also considered as the encoder in the illustration

shown because it is her who puts meaning into her message.
 ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Channel
"how message is sent"
medium or the means,
such as personal or non-
personal, verbal or
nonverbal, wherein the
encoded message is
conveyed
In the example, the channel or the medium of communication or how the message was
conveyed is through personal or face-to-face communication using verbal language.
Other channels of communication will be discussed in the succeeding modules.
 ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Decoding
process of interpreting
the encoded message of
the speaker by the
receiver
the receiver analyzes the
message received
before giving his/her
In the illustration, there are actually several recipients or receivers of the message but
directly, the teacher addressed Mr. Lance Dacer. This suggests that the teacher as the response
sender is expecting Lance Dacer as the receiver to give his feedback or response.
 ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Receiver
acts as the recipient of
the message

someone who decodes

the message

Again, all those present in the class are considered

receivers of the message.
 ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Feedback
the reactions, responses,
or information provided
by the receiver

it could be through
words, gestures, or
If you look at the illustration, there are implicit or not direct feedbacks such as one

student is jokingly courting his seatmate. The misbehavior of the student while the
discussion is going on is already a feedback in itself. It suggests that the student’s
attention was not on the teacher but on his seatmate.
 ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Context
the environment where
communication takes
place

it is a communication
situation
If we are to look again at the illustration, we can say at once that the setting is in the classroom which is
true. Why, the presence of the teacher, the students, the discussion are taking place in a classroom setting.
Without context, communication cannot take place. There has to be a context for communication to
happen. In a picnic, a wedding, in the church or dinner, at a basketball game or a bus ride are just a few of
the many contexts where communication can take place.
 ELEMENTS OF
COMMUNICATION

Barrier
also called noise in
communication

factors that affect the

flow of communication

Students’ talking to one another while the class discussion is going may distract the
attention of other students, or someone who has a toothache may not be able to
concentrate at the meeting. In the illustration above, one student is not attentive to the
class as she was instead bothered by the thought of someone she hates.
 You have to
remember that
every element
has its own
importance that
greatly affects
effective
communication.
