SENDER AND
ENCODING
SENDER: The communication starts with the sender, who has
an idea, thought, or feeling they wish to express. The sender’s
background, experiences, and emotions can influence how
they frame their message.
SENDER AND
ENCODING
ENCODING: converting the sender's thoughts into a
communicable format. The sender must choose appropriate
words, tone, and non-verbal cues (like gestures or facial
expressions) to convey their message clearly. Effective
encoding requires considering the audience’s background and
context to ensure the message is relatable and
understandable.
MESSAGE
The message is the core content that the sender wants to
communicate. It can take various forms: spoken, written,
visual, or non-verbal. The clarity and structure of the
message are crucial; it should be organized logically and
free from ambiguity. Effective messages are often tailored
to the audience's needs and context, ensuring relevance
and engagement.
Receiver & DECODING
RECEIVER: The recipient of the message plays a vital role in
the communication process. The receiver's experiences,
beliefs, and emotional state significantly impact how the
message is interpreted. A good understanding of the
receiver’s perspective can enhance the effectiveness of the
communication.
Receiver & DECODING
DECODING: This is the process by which the receiver
interprets the sender's message. Decoding involves
understanding the language, context, and nuances of the
message. Misinterpretations can occur if the receiver has
different cultural backgrounds, assumptions, or prior
knowledge. Active listening and clarifying questions can
enhance accurate decoding.
FEEDBACK

sender's message. Decoding involves understanding the
language, context, and nuances of the message.
Misinterpretations can occur if the receiver has different
