COMMUNICATION AND

ITS ELEMENTS
Definition

 Communication can be defined as the process of

exchanging information, thoughts, ideas, or feelings

between individuals or groups using verbal or non-

verbal means to achieve mutual understanding.


Elements of communication

 Communication, like a delicious stew, is made up of several key ingredients


that blend together to create something meaningful and impactful. Here are
some of the most important elements:
 Sender
 Receiver
 Message
 Channel
 Feedback
 Context
 Noise
Sender

 This is you, the one with the message to convey. To be effective, you
need to be clear about your thoughts and intentions, and choose
language that resonates with your audience.

 Sender is the one who initiates or conveys a message.

 Sender’s message depends upon his/her relationship with the audience.

 Sender’s message also depends upon the nature or message and its
importance.
Receiver

 This is the person or people you're trying to reach. Consider their

background, knowledge, and expectations when crafting your

message.

 Receiver is one who receives the message initiated by the sender.

 Message received could be either oral or written.


Message

 This is the information you want to share.

 It could be facts, ideas, emotions, or a combination of all three.

 Ensure your message is concise, well-organized, and tailored to your


audience.

 Your message should be according to your audience

 i.e., children need easy language but adults require language tailored to
their needs.
The Channel

 This is how you deliver your message.

 It could be spoken words, written text, body language, visuals, or even


silence.

 Choose the channel that best suits your message and audience.
Feedback

 This is the response you receive from the receiver.

 It could be verbal, nonverbal, or even just their understanding of your

message.

 Pay attention to feedback and use it to adjust your communication if

needed.
Context

 This is the environment in which communication takes place.

 It includes the physical setting, the relationship between sender and

receiver, and the cultural background.

 Considering the context helps you adapt your communication

accordingly.
Noise

 This is anything that interferes with the transmission of your message.

 It could be external distractions, unclear language, or cultural differences.

Minimize noise for better understanding.

 PSYCHOLOGICAL NOISE

 PHYSICAL NOISE

 SEMANTIC NOISE
PSYCHOLOGICAL NOISE

 Psychological noise occurs when emotions interfere


with the receiver's interpretation of a message.
 For example, if a person starts to feel uncomfortable
when someone enters a room, the resulting emotions
could cause them to get distracted from their
conversation.
PHYSICAL NOISE

 Physical noise is any external or environmental


stimulus that distracts us from receiving the intended
message sent by a communicator (Rothwell 11).
 Examples of physical noise include:
 Others talking in the background
 Background music
 A startling noise and acknowledging someone outside
of the conversation.
SEMANTIC NOISE

 Semantic noise occurs when people try to


communicate about something but lack the common
background or knowledge to share ideas effectively.
 They may have different primary languages or rely on
a separate dialect.
 Sometimes cross-cultural communications can result
in semantic noise and add to misunderstandings.
