A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
Introduction
Welcome to Gen 001: Purposive Communication! This course is a journey in improving your use of the
English language. We will have plenty of activities that will help develop your listening, speaking, reading, and
writing skills. In this lesson, we will start you with a review of the elements of communication. By reflecting on
communication, we want you to realize the importance of communicating purposefully and clearly.
Communication is an essential skill in all fields, in all roles we play – as a peer, as a student, and as a future
professional.

Yes, it is true that there is
always a message in
communication, even in
informal communication. Even
when we are just chatting with
friends or family, we are still
trying to convey something,
whether it is our thoughts,
feelings, or simply our desire
to connect with others.
No, the speaker is not also
known as the recipient in the
communication process. In
the communication process,
the speaker is the one who
initiates the message, while
the recipient is the one who
receives the message.
1. There is always a message in
communication, even in informal
communication.
2. The speaker is also known as
the recipient in the communication
process.

B) Understand the short text on communication. Highlight important terms and details.
Communication is derived from the Latin word “communicare” which means ‘to share’. Communication, at its simplest
definition, is sharing of information between individuals. Information can come in the form of thoughts, concepts,
imaginations, behaviors, and written text. It can be verbal or non-verbal. It can be written, spoken, or mixed media.
Communication as a process is simple, but there are many factors involved in that sometimes it becomes complex.
Communication is affected by factors like clarity of voice, choice of words, amount of content, information relevance, and
many more. When not done well, it can result in a simple misunderstanding or in a critical mistake.
The three elements in communication are the sender, a medium, and a recipient. The sender is the most crucial
element in the process because he comes with a full understanding of the content or message that he wants to deliver.
The receiver may or may not know the sender and the intended message. The medium refers to the means which
information is transferred.
The three steps in communication are message, encoding, and decoding. The message is the information in the
sender’s mind. The sender needs to translate this message into verbal speech or written message – encoding. The
receiver interprets the encoded message to understand the message - decoding. When the receiver clearly understands
the information sent to him, then communication is successful.
