The 5 elements of oral communication
1. Sender. The sender is the person who initiates communication to
the receiver. 2. Medium. The medium is the format in which the message is being sent. For example, a voicemail, a face-to-face conversation or a presentation. 3. Channel. The channel is the platform in which the message is delivered. For example, a podcast, a telephone or a meeting. 4. Receiver. The receiver listens and decodes the message sent by the sender. The receiver then generates feedback for the sender in response to the message. 5. Feedback. This final stage is the reaction of the receiver, such as oral or written communication, No response from the receiver is also a type of feedback. This completes the entire oral communication cycle.
