attendance. Are we clear?

Good...

Class, every day we communicate

right? We communicate in our house,
in school and inside the classroom.
So what is communication process
all about, and why is it very important Ma’am, the communication
to us? process is the method of
transmitting information from the
sender to receiver and being able
to get a feedback.

Very good! Communication is very

important to us because it helps us
understand and share information
with the people around us.

Let us discuss now the

communication process.
Communication process has 7
elements namely: The sender,
Encoding, Message, Medium,
Receiver, Decoding, and Feedback.
Ma’am, it is a person who sends
Now, what is a sender? Kindly read... the message.

Very good! The first element of the

communication process is the
sender. The sender must have first
the idea. The ideas you have in mind
involves the encoding process. In
order to convey meaning, the sender
must begin to translate information
into a message in the form of
symbols that represent ideas or
concepts.
Ma’am, message is the
Next, we have the message... information that is sent or given to
someone.
Good! Message is an important idea
that someone is trying to express.
When sending a message, you must
make sure that the message is clear.
Ma’am, medium is a means used
Third, we have the medium... to exchange/transmit the
message.

Thank you, in sending a message,

the sender must choose an
appropriate medium for transmitting
the message else the message might
not be conveyed to the desired
recipients.
Ma’am, the receiver is a person for
Fourth, we have the receiver... whom the message is intended.

Very good! The receiver involves

decoding process. The receiver
begins to interpret the message sent
by the sender, translating the
message to their own set of
experience in order to make the
symbols meaningful.

The last element of the

communication process is the Feedback is the response given by
feedback. the receiver.
Very good! Feedback confirms if the
message being sent by the sender is
clear or not. Feedback can be in the
form of verbal communication and
non-verbal communication.

Now, you already have identified the

elements of communication process.

E. Formative Check

Again class, what are the 7 elements The 7 elements of communication

of communication process? process are the sender, encoding,
message, medium, receiver,
decoding, and the feedback.

Very good! Why is communication (One student will answer...)

important to us?

Excellent!

F. Application
Message relay:
Now, let’s see if you really
understood our discussion. Let’s play
a message relay. You already have
your groups. First batch will consist
of 7 persons. I am going to whisper
the message to the first person and
the last person will come to me and
say correctly the message I have
sent. Are we clear?
Yes ma’am!
Okay, let’s begin…

Pick and act!

Each group will have 5
representatives. The students will
pick a word/sentence from the box
and they will act it in front of the class
without saying anything, they will just
merely acting. The rest of the
 students will guess what is being
acted upon their classmate in front.

G. Generalization

Class, what have you learned from (One student will answer…)
our lesson this morning?

Okay, earlier we discussed about the

communication process. We have
known the importance of
communication in our lives, that
without communication, we might not
be able to share ideas with other
people and misunderstanding might
occur. We also tackled the 7
elements of the communication
process. The sender, encoding
process, message, medium, receiver,
decoding process, and feedback.
