TOPIC: COMMUNICATION MODELS LESSON

Application:
Create your own Communication Model. Make sure that you include the basic elements of the communication
process. Add other elements that you think are necessary to make your model unique. Then, explain your model
comprehensively and cite situational example(s). Use 8.5x13 in a landscape orientation bond paper.

Communication refers to the transfer of messages and ideas among one another. It may be through verbal
communication, such as the use of language as a medium, or non-verbal communication, including gestures and body
language. Clear and effective communication is necessary because it helps understand people better and removes
misunderstanding towards others, and it creates clarity of thoughts and expression.

This communication model is composed of 7 components. These are the sender, context, message, medium or
channel, noise, receiver, and feedback. The sender who sends the message originates the message by encoding it, that
is, by constructing the message. Moreover, the context refers to the setting in which communication takes place. The
context helps establish meaning and can influence what is said and how it is said. The message is the content of the
communication. Then the sender transmits the message through a medium or channel. A channel is the mode or form of
transmission of the message, not the message itself. It can be a human language, such as spoken language, body
language, and more. Also, it can be mechanical things like cell phones, television, and radio. After the message is
acquired or received by the recipient. The receiver starts interpreting the message, that is, using various devices to
decode it. Sometimes distractions interfere with the message. These interferences are called noise, which leads to
misunderstanding and contributes to the misinterpretations of the original message. Communication problems may be
located, corrected, and understood properly through feedback or verification of the original message.

An example of this communication model is when my sister is having their online class, then the teacher thought of
preparing an assignment for the students. It was the teacher's brain who came up with this idea of preparing an
assignment. Thus the teacher originates the message by encoding it. Afterward, the teacher told them about what the
assignment was all about and its deadline. But my sister did not hear it clearly because of the internet interruption. The
noise in this example is the internet interruption, which serves as the disturbance in interpreting the message. The
decoder is the computer of the receiver that is being used and will turn the binary data packages it receives back into
sounds that replicate the sender's voice. After the connection is back, the students finally receive the message. Lastly, my
sister speaks in response as feedback, to let the teacher know what they heard or understood.

The teacher in this situation is the sender who has encoded the message. The channel through which the message
is transmitted is the computer. My sister is the receiver who is supposed to decode the message. The noise present in the
example is the interruption of the internet, which serves as a disturbance in the interpretation of the message. Then the
feedback is my sister's response.
