Process
Presented by: Daryl Casiano

2. - Michel de Montaigne

• The term communication is derived from the
latin word communis, meaning common.

reciprocal exchange of information, ideas,
facts, opinions, beliefs, feelings & attitudes
through verbal or nonverbal means between
two people or within a group of people.

5. Meaning of Communication

7. • Language is an essential tool in expressing human thoughts
and feelings.
• You use language to interact, build relationship and
understand other people’s idea.
• As you wake up each day to accomplish your work and
routine, you meet and talk to different people along the way.
• You communicate with them – your parents, friends, and
teachers.
• What you say and how you say it are far more revealing of
your intelligence, personality, and character than the way you
dress and walk.

language, be it verbal, which refers to the
message you sent through your phone or
nonverbal which refers to any of your gesture.
• Unless you intentionally isolate yourself,
communication is an inevitable activity.
• Language is a natural gift you possess to
survive in a society.

9. Important Points in
Understanding the
Communication Process

10. Communication, basically, is the process of sending a message,
oral or written. Technically, it is defined as the process by which
one seeks to share meaning via the transmission of symbolic
message.
Remember these three important points in understanding
communication process:
1. Communication involves people and their relationship with
others.
2. Communication involves shared meaning or presuppositions,
which suggests that people must agree on the definition of
the idea talked about.
3. Communication involves symbols – gestures, sounds, letters,
numbers and words can only represent or approximate the
idea that they are meant to communicate.

11. Elements of Oral
Communication
Process

12. 1. Source or Encoder
The source of the
message is someone who
decides to communicate;
therefore, he is considered
the speaker or encoder. He
usually starts the
communication.

13. 2. Message
The message refers to the send
idea. It is the topic being talked
about in a conversation.

14. 3. Channel
Message is sent through a medium.
There can be several kinds of
mediums; however, in simple
conversation, our voice travelled
through the airwaves.

15. 4. Feedback
To make communication a complete
exchange process, response is necessary.
Usually this element can come from the
decoder.

16. 5. Listener or Decoder
This is someone who has receive the
message and give his own thoughts about
it. This person is called the intended
listener or decoder.

17. Communication, therefore, involves an
exchange of message among sources and receiver via
channel or medium. The different elements of the
communication process are illustrated below using
David Berlo’s SMRC model
