Elements of communication process 



1.Sender- The person who intends to convey the message with the intention of passing information and ideas to others is known as sender or communicator.
2. Ideas- This is the subject matter of the communication. This may be an opinion, attitude, feelings, views, orders, or suggestions.
3. Encoding-  the subject matter of communication is theoretical and intangible, its further passing requires use of certain symbols such as words, actions or pictures etc. Conversion of subject matter into these symbols is the process of encoding
4. Communication channel- This information is transmitted to the receiver through certain channels which may be either formal or informal.
5. Receiver- Receiver is the person who receives the message or for whom the message is meant for.
6. Decoding- The person who receives the message or symbol from the communicator tries to convert the same in such a way so that he may extract its meaning to his complete understanding.
7. Feedback- Feedback is the process of ensuring that the receiver has received the message and understood in the same sense as sender meant it.

Effective communication

Effective communication can happen if we follow the basic principles of professional communication  skills.

These can be abbreviated as 7 Cs, i.e.,


  1. Clear: The message should be clear and easily understandable to the recipient. 
  2. Correct: The message should be correct, i.e. a correct language     should be used.
  3. Complete: The message should be complete, i.e. it must include all the relevant information as required by the intended audience. 
  4. Concrete: The communication should be concrete, which means the message should be clear and particularly such that no room for misinterpretation is left.
  5. Concise: The message should be precise and to the point. The sender should avoid the lengthy sentences and try to convey the subject matter in the least possible words. 
  6. Consideration: The sender must take into consideration the receiver’s opinions, knowledge, mindset, background, etc.
  7. Courteous: It implies that the sender must take into consideration both the feelings and viewpoints of the receiver such that the message is positive and focused at the audience.
Verbal communication

Verbal communication is the sharing of information by using words.Face-to-face conversation: When you can see the listener.
For example, group discussion, talking to family member at home, conversation with public through speeches, etc

Non Verbal Communication

     Non-verbal communication is the message we send to others without using any words.Messages to others, through expressions,gestures and body postures.Examples
    • Raising a hand to greet
    • Smiling to show happiness
    • Making a sad face when you are upset.

Visual communication

 It involves sending and understanding messages only through images or pictures.

  Written Communication :-

Written Communication: Communication which involves written or typed words.Writing letters, notes, email, etc.SMS Using email to share news, thoughts, documents and files (including photos, videos, music, etc.). 

Communication Barriers


There are many reasons why interpersonal communications may fail. In many communications, the message may not be received exactly the way sender intended and hence it is important that the communicator seeks feedback to check that their message is clearly understood. 


Language Barriers Clearly, language and linguistic ability may act as a barrier to communication. However, even when communicating in the same language, the terminology used in a message may act as a barrier if it is not fully understood by the receiver(s)

Psychological Barriers The psychological state of the receiver will influence how the message is received. 

Physical Barriers An example of a physical barrier to communication is geographic distance between the sender and receiver(s). Communication is generally easier over shorter distances as more communication channels are available and less technology is required.

Attitudinal Barriers Attitudinal barriers are behaviors or perceptions that prevent people from communicating effectively.
