Study Notes

Fundamentals of Communication in the 21st Century

  • SENDER: Also called the source or speaker, this is the person who initiates the communication. The sender encodes a message, meaning they turn their thoughts and information into a format that can be shared. A sender needs to be clear about their message, and their views, background, skills, and knowledge all influence how they send it.
  • MESSAGE: This is the actual information you want to transmit. It's what an individual wants to communicate, whether verbally or non-verbally. The message needs to be in a form that the receiver can understand.
  • ENCODING: This is the process of transmitting the message into a format that can be shared with another party. For a message to be conveyed, it must be encoded in a way that allows the receiver to decode it.
