 LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY

Have you ever wondered how

Filipinos communicate?
Consider your everyday
conversations with your
friends or your family
members. Do these
conversations follow the
communication process?

UNIT STIMULUS

Pass the Message

1. Divide the class into groups with five members. Then, form a line.
2. The first person in each line will be given a piece of paper containing a
message. He or she needs to memorize it in 30 seconds.
3. Orally pass the message to the next person in line until it reaches the last
person.
4. The last person should proceed to the front and write the message on the
board. The group that writes the message most accurately in the shortest time
will get a point.

Communication
Do you still remember the five Cs
in 21st-century skills? These are
creativity, collaboration, critical
thinking, connection, and
communication. Notice that the
communication skill overlaps and
subsumes with other skills.

Communication
Communication has a crucial role
in every aspect of human life
regardless of age, origin, and nature
of work.
It comes from the Latin word
communis, which means
“common.” This involves the
process of transmitting and
delivering information to an
intended audience.

Communication Models

Let’s Analyze!

Fig. 2. Communication Process

Study the three illustrations above and determine their similarities with each other.
Communication Models

Shannon and Weaver model refers to a two-way process that reinforces that the
message needs to be deconstructed if there is a greater noise or disturbance to
lessen ambiguity.

Charles Osgood’s model explains the circular process in which the roles of being
a source and a receiver can be interchanged and done simultaneously with the help
of a feedback mechanism.

Schramm’s model emphasizes the shared experiences and understanding between

the sender and the receiver.

KEY MOMENTS

The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in

the 15th century paved the way for various technological
products that have been instrumental in changing the face of
communication.
