ELEMENTS of Communication
1. SENDER/ENCODER - the sender, also known as the
source, decides on the message to be sent, the best/most
effective way that it can be sent. All of this is done bearing the
receiver in mind. In a word, it is his/her job to conceptualize.

The sender may want to ask him/herself questions like: what


words will i use? Do I need signs or pictures?
2. MESSAGE – the information, ideas, or
thoughts conveyed by the speaker in words
or in actions
3. ENCODING- the process of
converting the message into words,
actions, or other forms that the receiver
understands
4. CHANNEL – the medium or the means, such
as personal, non-personal, verbal or nonverbal, in
which the encoded message is conveyed
5. DECODING – the process of interpreting
the encoded message of the speaker by the
receiver
6. RECEIVER – the recipient of the message,
or someone who decodes the message
7. FEEDBACK – the reactions,
responses, or information provided by the
receiver
8. CONTEXT – the environment
where communication takes place
9. BARRIER – the factors that
affect the flow of communication
