Communication Process

The communication process consists of several steps: (1) A sender develops an idea and encodes it into a message, (2) The sender selects a channel and transmits the message, (3) The receiver receives the message and decodes it, (4) The receiver provides feedback to the sender to complete the process. The key components are the sender, message, channel, receiver, and feedback. The process ensures that ideas are effectively transmitted from the sender to the receiver and that the receiver's understanding is confirmed.

COMMUNICATION PROCESS

Communication process consists of some interrelated steps or parts through which messages
are sent form sender to receiver. The process of communication begins when the sender wants
to transmit a fact, idea, opinion or other information to the receiver and ends with receivers
feedback to the sender. The main components of communication process are sender, message,
channel, receiver and feedback.

Steps or elements of communication process


The communication process refers to the steps through which communication takes
place between the sender and the receiver. This process starts with conceptualizing an
idea or message by the sender and ends with the feedback from the receiver. In details,
communication process consists of the following eight steps:
1.

Developing idea by the sender: In the first step, the communicator develops or
conceptualizes an idea to be sent. It is also known as the planning stage since in
this stage the communicator plans the subject matter of communication.

2.

Encoding: Encoding means converting or translation the idea into a perceivable


form that can be communicated to others.

3.

Developing the message: After encoding the sender gets a message that can
be transmitted to the receiver. The message can be oral, written, symbolic or
nonverbal. For example, when people talk, speech is the message; when people
write a letter, the words and sentences are the message; when people cries, the
crying is the message.

4.

Selecting the medium: Medium is the channel or means of transmitting the


message to the receiver. Once the sender has encoded his into a message, the
next step is to select a suitable medium for transmitting it to the receiver. The
medium of communication can be speaking, writing, signaling, gesturing etc.

5.

Transmission of message: In this step, the sender actually transmits the


message through chosen medium. In the communication cycle, the tasks of the
sender end with the transmission of the message.

6.

Receiving the message by receiver: This stage simply involves the reception of
senders message by the receiver. The message can be received in the form of
hearing, seeing, feeling and so on.

7.

Decoding: Decoding is the receivers interpretation of the senders message.


Here the receiver converts the message into thoughts and tries to analyze and
understand it. Effective communication can occur only when both the sender and
the receiver assign the same or similar meanings to the message.

8.

Feedback: The final step of communication process is feedback. Feedback


means receivers response to senders message. It increases the effectiveness of
communication. It ensures that the receiver has correctly understood the message.
Feedback is the essence of two-way communication.
