COMMUNICATION

 

INTRODUCTION   

This blog is created to inform readers about communication and its importance in the individual and society.
Its objective is that our readers know more about their definition, the models of communication that exist, and their importance in our environment since it is thanks to communication we can better understand each other, facilitating the teaching and learning process in the acquisition of a second language.
Communication is a Latin word that means "to share". It is the exchange of information between different individuals (Editorial team, 2014)

Communication is very important because it allows us to develop our personality, exchange ideas, enrich our culture and knowledge, acquire experiences, express our feelings.

There are different types of communication, but the most relevant are verbal and non-verbal communication, in this blog we will focus on talking about verbal communication.

Verbal communication is the sharing of information through speech. It includes the information that people hear on radios, televisions, telephones, speeches, and interviews  (Editorial team, 2014)

• Saussure´s model of the speech circuit 

This model was created by Ferdinand of  Saussure and published in 1915.

The speech circuit model originates when speakers use language to exchange information and communicate.

The elements of the voice circuit model are:

The sender is the one who encodes the message.

The listener is the one who decodes the message.

The message is the information encoded by the sender.

The context is the circumstances where the information originates.

The code is the signal system used to transmit information.

 The sender and receiver must handle the same code.

Contact is the psychological bond that originates between the sender and the listener

.

Speech involves psychic, physiological, and physical aspects. This entire process, which allows for

 inter-understanding between human beings depends on a socially shared basis, which is reflected in a

 the more or less homogeneous way in the brains of all the members of a community (Palm, 2016).

Shannon´s and Moles  communication models 

 In 1949, the American engineer Shannon developed a simple and easily understood linear model that shows the basic process of communication. The input (the desired message sent by a sender through a channel) and the output (the message received) are those that can substantially change when a channel is affected by situations that worsen its transmission quality. 

In 1949, the American engineer Shannon developed a simple and easily understood linear model that shows the basic process of communication.

The input(desired message, sent by a sender through a channel) and the output(the received message) are those that can remit substantially when a channel is affected by situations that worsen its transmission quality.

Later, in 1963, Moles added a crucial element to Shannon's model, namely the code.

The sender and receiver must have at least one fundamental set of codes in common so that they communicate successfully Asgari (2012).

Elements of the communication process:

Asgari (2012) sustained: “Here are the various components of the communication process in detail”. 

1. Input:  The sender intends to communicate with another person.
2. Sender: The sender encodes the message
3. Channel: The message is sent through a channel. In acoustic communication, it is composed of air, in written communication on paper or other writing materials.
4. Noise: The channel is subject to various sources of noise
5. Receiver: The receiver decodes the incoming message or expression.
6. Output: This is the content decoded by the receiver.
7. Code: Sender and receiver codes must have at least a certain set in common for communication to work

Conclusion:

Communication is very important in society and in the individual because thanks to it we can transfer knowledge, express our feelings, in addition to facilitating our learning, learning models are theoretical schemes that have been created to facilitate our study and understanding process in our daily life.
