H. ABSTRACTION

Whether we are talking or texting, video

or voice mail-chatting, tweeting, or
commenting on a Facebook status, we
choose to have conversation throughout
the day.. The act of having
conversations with anyone is called
COMMUNICATION.
It is the transmission of ideas and
emotions between or among
persons.
NATURE OF COMMUNICATION
Communication is a structured two-way
process essential in transmitting
information and expressing ideas
among individuals. This two-way
process may come in two forms: verbal
and nonverbal communication.
Verbal’ is the Latin adjective of ‘Word’.
So, verbal communication means
communicating with words, whether
written or spoken.
Examples:
A teacher discussing his lesson to the
class.
An applicant who writes his application
letter for a job vacancy.
Nonverbal communication is the
transmission of messages or signals
through a nonverbal platform such as
eye contact, facial expressions, gestures,
posture, and the distance between two
individuals.
Examples:
1. The facial expressions for
happiness, sadness, anger,
surprise, fear, and disgust.
2. Ok sign made with hands ( be
careful in using this gesture
because in English-speaking
countries it convey positive (Students are attentively listening while
message but in Germany, Russia, watching the video)
and Brazil, it is considered as
offensive.

(The teacher will also discuss the

functions of communication).

Elements of Communication
Sender - is the person who is
initiating the communication or
sending the message. It can be a
person or a party like a company.
Message –the information that
the sender wants to
communicate.
Encoding - is the process of
assembling symbols
to communicate the message or
simply put the process of putting
thought into a symbolic form.
People use words and images to
convey their intended message.
Basically, it is how the
information is to be
communicated (eg. Verbal or
written).
Channel - the channel of
communication that is used to
transmit the message. In the case
of verbal communication, you
might be using a phone or
 talking to the receiver directly. In
the case of a written message,
you can use an email or some
chat tool like WhatsApp.
Receiver - the recipient of the
message from the sender. He
usually gives feedback to the
sender in order to make sure that
the message was properly
received.
Decoding- is the process of
interpreting the message or the
process by which the receiver
assigns meaning to the symbols
in a message. This is basically
how the recipient of the message
understand the message.
Feedback -  is that part of the
receiver’s response which is
communicated back to the
sender.
Example of Communication Process
Melai loves Jason, her suitor as a friend.
She thinks of how to tell him using their
native language. She tells him, “Jason
gihigugma tika isip us aka amigo”. She
did it through a phone call. Jason hears
what Melai says. He tries to internalized
what she means based on the content
and their relationship, and he is
heartbroken. He frowns an does not say
something because he is in pain.
Noise - is the unplanned
distortion during the process of
communication which may cause
the receiver to receive a different
message than the intended one.
When the message or feed feedback was
not sent or received properly, then
communication breakdown and noise
will happen leading to the possible
barriers to effective communication.
Types of Noise
Physical noise is interference
that is external to both speaker
and listener; it hampers the
physical transmission of the
signal or message.

Examples of physical noise:

loud party at the neighbors while you’re

trying to record a song

loud kids who don’t want to take their

nap

irritating hum of your computer, air

conditioner, or heater while you are (Students attentively listening to the
talking to a friend lesson)

Physiological noise is created by

barriers within the sender or receiver.
Examples of physiological noise on the
podcaser’s side:

articulation problems
mumbling
talking too fast
talking too slow
forgetting to pause
forgetting to breathe
An example of physiological noise on
the listener’s side: hearing problems.
Maybe the listener can’t hear high tones
as clearly as they used to. For some, low
tones are the problem. Their difficulty in
literally hearing words and sounds
becomes physiological noise.

Psychological noise is mental

interference in the speaker or
listener.
Three examples of psychological
noise are wandering thoughts,
preconceived ideas, and sarcasm.
Semantic noise refers to when a
speaker and a listener have
different interpretations of the
meanings of certain words. For
example, the word “weed” can
be interpreted as an undesirable
plant in a yard or as a
euphemism for marijuana.

The following strategies are intended to

avoid communication breakdown, these
would “develop a clear understanding
of the speaker’s concern and also to
clearly communicate the listener’s
interest in the speaker’s message”

1.Stop. Focus on the other

person, their thoughts and
feelings. Consciously focus on
quieting your own internal
commentary, and step away from
your own concerns to think
about those of the speaker. Give
your full attention to the speaker.

2.Look. Pay attention to non-

verbal messages, without letting
yourself be distracted. Notice
body language and non-verbal
cues to allow for a richer
understanding of the speaker’s
point. Remember that “active
listeners need to communicate to
the speaker that they are
involved and giving the person
unconditional attention” (Weger,
Castle, & Emmett, 2010, p. 35).

3. Listen. Listen for the essence of

the speaker’s thoughts: details,
major ideas and their meanings.
Seek an overall understanding of
what the speaker is trying to
communicate, rather than
reacting to the individual words
or terms that they use to express
themselves.

4.Be empathetic. Imagine how

you would feel in their
circumstances. Be empathetic to
the feelings of the speaker, while
maintaining a calm centre within
yourself. You need not be drawn
into all of their problems or
issues, as long as you
acknowledge what they are
experiencing. (Students perform the activity)
5. Ask questions. Use questions
to clarify your understanding, as
well as to demonstrate interest in
what is being said.

6. Paraphrase. If you don’t have

any specific questions to ask, you
may choose to repeat back to the
speaker, in your own words,
what you have taken away, in
 order to allow the speaker to
clarify any points (Weger et al.,
2010).

Following these strategies may reduce

noise on effective communication and
would help both speaker and listener to
make the conversation clear and to
avoid miscommunication.

I. APPLICATION
Let the students watch the video with
the title, “A Failure to Communicate’’.
Let the students identify the elements in
the process of communication and
explain how each element affects the
communication process.
