1. The Model of Communication
By: Jessica Portnoy

2. Communication
• Communication starts with an issue, feeling, thought, or some
information from a sender to listener.
• Communication is such a beautiful thing. It allows you to explore,
listen, think, hear, find out about someone, receive information.
• Communication can occur through letters, telephone.
Communication can even occur through signals.

3. Sender
• A sender is considered the source of the message.
• The sender’s role is to send messages that are understandable to
the listener(s).
• The sender’s communication skills involves a couple of things like:
Listening, writing, speaking, reading, thinking, reasoning.

4. Encoding
• Encoding is the process where information from a source is
converted into symbols that are verbal and/or nonverbal that are
to be articulated.
• The entire encoding process involves different things like culture,
your gender influences, expectations, language, social system.
• Success in encoding actually depends on your ability to transfer
information as clearly as possible.
• With encoding you should avoid things that are confusing (for
example, certain issues, mistaken assumptions, and types of
missing information.)
• You need to know who you are communicating with.

5. Message
• The message is the object of communication. This is what the
person wants his or her listener(s) to know.
• A message is a thought or idea expressed in a language.
• A verbal message can be an exchange of words. Through a
telephone, face to face, a voicemail.
• A nonverbal message is exchanged through actions or behaviors.
Either through body language or any action in general.

6. Channel
• A channel is through which the message has to pass. The channel
can be spread to certain audience.
• With a channel your senses are involved. Your five senses are:
sound, touch, taste, smell, and sight.
• The type of selection of channels is extremely important when it
comes to the achievement of communication.
• The message passes through the channel as it touches base with
the receiver.

7. Receiver
• The receiver is the person who is intended to receive the message.
• The receiver could be the ultimate target. It could even be a group
of people who are intended to receive the message.
• The receiver listens to the message and even though the receiver
is not the one who starts the message, they are the ones who
grant opinion.
• It is important you know who you are sending the message to.

8. Decoding
• Decoding is the basic acknowledgement and understanding of
what a text actually says.
• Pretty much, Decoding is the one that translates your message
data into some sort of character that he/she can understand.
• The same thing that goes for encoding also affects decoding.

9. Feedback
• Feedback is probably one of the most important well semi
important ones out of them all.
• Feedback is he/she’s response to your message. With feedback
you are able to evaluate the message. The way to continue a
conversation is with feedback. You need to hear what the other
person has to say.
• You have to watch out with the type of feedback your provide
because everyone interprets things differently.

10. Noise
• Noise is anything that inhibits with the message.
• This could things such as someone sneezing next to you or
someone who is upset and will do anything they can to disrupt the
message.
• Noise can happen at anytime, any day.
