Lesson 2
Nature of Communication
I. Objective
The learner...
II. Content
Human beings are poor communicators but our communicative competence can be
improved by learning and practicing effective communication skills.
Communication has a symbolic nature and is an act of sharing one’s ideas, emotions,
attitudes, or perceptions with another person or group of persons through words
(written or spoken), gestures, signals, signs, or other modes of transmitting images.
The transmission of ideas always encounters barriers that reduce its effectiveness.
The essential elements of the process of communication are the message, the
sender, encoding, the channel, the receiver, decoding, acting on the message, the
feedback, and the communication environment.
Both the sender and the receiver play a role in making communicatio7n effective.
The sender should encode the message accurately after considering the level,
expectations, and needs of the target audience (receiver); the receiver should listen
or read carefully to try to understand the intended meaning of the sender.
The universal, common elements of communication are the communication
environment, the use of symbols, and the presence of mental filters.
Some basic facts about communication are that perfect communication is
impossible; the meaning of a message is in the mind/perception of the receiver; and
personality affects the effectiveness of communication.
To communicate effectively, one should develop not only skills, but also a sense of
empathy with others
