The Communication Process

Communication is the process of sharing our ideas, thoughts, and feelings with other people and having those ideas, thoughts, and feelings understood by the people we are talking with. If we can understand the communication process better and improve it, we will become more effective and successful communicators. Today, we know that seven basic elements complete the dynamic communication cycle:

  • Sender (the encoder)
  • Message (the content)
  • Channel (the medium)
  • Receiver (the decoder)
  • Feedback (the acknowledgement)
  • Interference or Noise ( the External and Internal disturbances)
  • Context (the setting)
