What is
Communication?
· The imparting or exchanging of
information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium.
Communication
is the act of conveying meanings from one entity or group to another through
the use of mutually understood signs, symbols, and semiotic rules. The main
steps inherent to all communications are: The formation of communicative
motivation or reason. Message composition. Message encoding.
There are
five main components of communication:
Sender and receiver
Senders and
receivers may have different reactions to the same information because
different beliefs, values and personalities influence the way the sender and
receiver perceive information.
Various
barriers to communication prevent a sender’s message from being understood as
intended. Examples include bad grammar and word choice, and the nature of the
relationship between the sender and receiver.
Medium
You
communicate through speech in a face to face conversation, as well as through
e-mail, an instant message, whatsapp, Instagram, IMO, FB messenger, telephone
call, or a written letter. To choose the right medium.
Contextual factors
Body language
refers to all the nonverbal ways people communicate, including facial
expressions, physical gestures and posture. In face to face conversations,
these play an important role. They often communicate things that are left unsaid
– such as a person’s enthusiasm, attentiveness, or even annoyance. When you’re
speaking to someone, it’s important to ensure our body language is appropriate.
It’s also important to read the other person’s body language so you can respond
to it.
Message
A message is
defined as the object of communication or the
thing that is being communicated. A message may be spoken, written,
visual and physical signals. Some qualities of a message include its wording,
directness, and purpose.
Feedback
Feedback is
any response to a communicated message. It takes the form of a message itself,
and may be verbal, visual or written. Often, feedback is essential, because it’s
what turns one way communication into two way communication. Feedback may be
positive or negative.
· Negative feedback indicates that the
receiver either has not received the message or has not understood its content.
