- Communication serves many purposes, like informing, clarifying, and expressing.
The video introduces the topic of communication and its importance in our lives. It poses questions about what communication is, how effective communication takes place, what its elements and processes are, and why it is important. The video aims to answer these questions.
After completing this lesson, viewers should be able to explain the nature and process of communication, understand the relationship between the functions of communication and everyday life, and illustrate the process of communication.
Communication is a two-way process of exchanging information, ideas, feelings, and messages for mutual understanding. It connects people to each other and the world around them, enabling them to express thoughts and convey information through gestures, signs, signals, or word of mouth. Communication is defined as a message understood, requiring a clear message that is understood by the receiver. Communication is also a social interaction through messages, where experiences and emotions are shared. It is a sharing of experiences, where problems are discussed, solutions are found, ideas are exchanged, and interactions and negotiations occur. Without communication, human relationships would vanish, making it crucial for building and maintaining relationships.
Communication begins when the speaker responds to a stimulus and encodes a message, transmitting it through a channel. The receiver decodes the message and responds with feedback to the sender. The sender and receiver may exchange roles until understanding is achieved. Barriers can block the transmission of the message, leading to misunderstanding.
Effective communication consists of six elements: the sender (or source or encoder), the message, the medium, the receiver (or recipient), feedback, and barriers. The sender encodes the message by translating information into symbols that represent ideas or concepts. The message is the key idea the sender wants to communicate. The medium is the channel used to transmit the message, and the sender must choose an appropriate medium to ensure the message is correctly interpreted. The receiver is the person for whom the message is intended and decodes the message by interpreting the symbols based on their experiences. Feedback allows the sender to analyze the effectiveness of the message and confirm its correct interpretation, and it can be verbal, non-verbal, or written. Barriers prevent the correct reception and acceptance of messages, including information overload, perceptions, workplace concepts, semantics, and gender differences.
Communication is essential and serves many purposes in our lives. These purposes include to inform, clarify, teach, accept, criticize, inspire, question, understand, learn, affirm, deny, counsel, express, confirm, persuade, clarify, conceal, sell, promote, advice, reveal, and motivate.
Communication is a two-way process of sharing and exchanging messages to understand and interact. The elements of communication are sender, message, medium, receiver, feedback, and barriers. Communication is essential in our lives and serves many purposes.
Communication is crucial in our daily lives, making building relationships and socializing easier. Ensuring the message is clear is important for effective communication. The next video will discuss different models of communication.

0:01 what is communication how does an effective communication take place what are the elements and its processes is communication really important in our lives all of those questions will be answered in our lesson video for today again this is and welcome back to my YouTube channel after going through this lesson you are expected to number one explain the nature and process of communication to understand the relationship of the
0:47 functions of communication to everyday life and number three illustrate the process of communication nature of communication communication is a two-way process of exchanging or sharing information ideas feelings and different kinds of messages for the purpose of mutual understanding communication connects to people and the world they live in through communication people are able to express their thoughts or convey information and messages through gestures signs signals or Word of Mouth let us
1:35 Define communication using the two key terms message and understand communication is a message understood first there should be a clear message second the message must be understood by the receiver for whom it is meant we must remember that unless a message is understood we cannot say that communication has taken place next is communication is social interaction through messages think of someone telling it is very warm today
2:20 we are communicating what we experience in this situation the warm weather is what we physically feel or encounter in this case we are sharing our experiences or emotions with another person thus we may say that communication is a sharing of experience every day we discuss problems and arrive at Solutions we also exchange ideas and interact with others we transact and then we negotiate in doing all of these we use communication foreign
3:06 now I want you to imagine a situation where we are not able to speak and interact with others or think of a family living in the same house without speaking to each other or relating any form of message to one another such situation can be very lonely and problematic without communication all forms of Human Relationships will vanish and die communication is therefore crucial in building and maintaining relationships process of communication as seen in the illustration
3:53 communication begins when the speaker or Source responds to a stimulus and decides to encode or transmit it in the form of a message or a code through a particular Channel or means of communication the receiver decodes or interprets the message sent and response accordingly based on his interpretation of the message this response comes in the form of a feedback sent to the original source of communication or the sender
4:38 as the communication transaction continues the sender and receiver May exchange roles until understanding is achieved barriers to communication sometimes block the transmission of the message thereby creating misunderstanding so what elements comprise an effective communication so we have here the six elements of effective communication we have the sender or the source or the encoder followed by the message media receiver or the recipient then we have the feedback then lastly the barrier now
5:24 let's discuss the following elements one by one first we have the source or sender or we also call it the encoder this is the person who sends the message the sender does the encoding process to convey meaning which means translating information into a message in the form of symbols that represent ideas or concepts second is the message it is a key idea that the sender wants to communicate it is a sign that elicits the response of the recipient communication process begins with deciding about the message
6:11 to be conveyed it must be ensure that the main objective of the message is clear next is the medium or the channel this is used to exchange or transmit the message this sender must choose an appropriate medium for transmitting the message else the message might not be conveyed to the desired receivers the choice of appropriate medium of communication is essential for making the message effective and correctly interpreted by the receivers the next is the receiver this is a prison for whom the message is intended
6:56 aimed or targeted the receiver conducts the decoding process the receiver begins to interpret the symbols or the message sent by the sender translating the message to their own set of experiences in order to make the symbols meaningful next is the feedback this is the main component of communication process as it permits the sender to analyze the efficacy of the message it helps the sender in confirming the correct interpretation of message by the decoder feedback may be verbal or through words or non-verbal informed Smiles size it
7:42 may take written form also in form of memos reports and so on lastly barrier this is something that prevents us from correctly getting and accepting the messages that authors use to communicate their information thoughts and ideas with us some of the examples of communication barriers are information overload choosy perceptions workplace Concepts semantics gender differences and so on let's have this scenario as an example we have friends Anna and Karen they are chatting probably having some plans for
8:29 the weekend Anna being the one who started the conversation is definitely the center to send her a message to Karen she does the process of encoding the message using her mobile phone as the medium to chat her friend Karen being the receiver receives the message and decodes it and reply to Anna's message thus giving her a feedback now that you already learned the different elements that comprise an effective communication let us now identify what is really the importance or the function the different purposes of communication why do we really have
9:15 to communicate with other people what is its function s of communication since communication is certain in our lives It comes naturally and unknowingly communication serves many purposes the following are some of the many reasons why we communicate inform clarify bye teach accept criticize Inspire question understand learn affirm deny counsel Express confirm persuade clarify conceal sell
10:05 promote advice reveal motivate and many others that's it for today now let us recap what we learned for today's lesson video communication is a two-way process of sharing and exchanging messages we communicate to understand and interact the elements of communication are sender message medium receiver feedback and barriers communication is certain in our lives thus it serves many purposes
10:51 communication is truly important in our daily lives without it building relationships and socializing with other people will be really difficult for all of us just make sure that the message is clear to get it across your intended audience or your intended receiver now we are going to discuss more about the different models of communication in our next lesson video thank you so much for watching and for staying and please don't forget to like And subscribe in my channel thank you and have a great day bye
