Communication can be thought of as a process of flow. Communication problems


occur when there arte deviations or blockages in that flow. In this section, We
describe the process in terms of a communication model, consider how distortions
can disrupt the process, and introduce the concept of communication apprehension
as another potential disruption.

A right approach of teaching English in India apart from hundreds of language talk in
India. English, which was foreign language, earlier, acquired very important status in
administration, judiciary, education, commerce etc. This is the need of the time. In the era
of globe village every country wants to maintain relation with other. In that context,
English serves a role of medium. There fore, Everybody in India realized the important of
this language. And it acquired emphatic position in school curriculum. Method of
teaching of English: Many methods of teaching English are existed and are being applied.
Among them-grammar- translation method.Dr. West’s new method. The Direct method.
The substitution method. The eclectic method. The Bilingual method. The structural
approach These all methods of teaching English cannot provided satisfactory, every
where it is felt that a new approach to teaching English was necessary. An extensive
researchers have done in the field of teaching English, It is found that communicative
approach which is live, completely functional by the nature can prove very effective.
Communicative approach: To communicate is the basic function of any language When
we acquire a language, he do not only learn how to prepare and understand correct
sentence, but the use of learn sentence to achieve communicative purpose. Meaningful
use of the language is the core part of this approach. It start with listening and leads on to
speaking, Reading and Writing respectively. Hence, the approach emphasizes on the
traditional approach communicative approach has strong theoretical function based on
current ideas about language as a social tools. Structural part of the language is not
taught isolated. But it is very much fixed with up its functional aspect. Principal of
communicative language Teaching The purpose of approach is to convey massage. The
learner learns the various aspects of communication rather than the rules of grammars.
Linguistic competence with performance is important than structure. Activities in which
language is used for carrying out meaningful tasks promotes learning. Knowing of what
sentence mean as in their day today use. Learner learns the unconsciously. In nutshell,
there are neither water tight compartments nor of teaching of communicative approach.

Communication Process
Communication can best be summarized as the transmission of a massage from a
sender to a receiver in an understand manner.
Communication is the process of passing information and understanding from one
person to another. The communication process involves six basic elements sender,
massage, channel, receiver, noise, and feedback. Teacher can improve communication
skills by becoming aware of these elements and how they contribute to successful
communication.
The communication process is the guide toward realized effective communication
It is through the communication process that the sharing of a common meaning between
the sender and the receiver takes place. Individual that the fallow the communication
process will have the opportunity to become more productive in every aspect of their
profession effective communication leads to understanding.
The communication process is made up of four key components. Those
components includes encoding medium of transmission, decoding and feedback. There
are also two other factor in the process, and those two factor are present in the form of the
sender and the receiver. The communication process being with the sender and ends with
the receiver.

The sender is an individual, group or organization who initiates the communication. This
source is initially responsible for the success of the massage. This source is initially
responsible for the success of the massage. The sender’s experiences, attitudes
knowledge, skills, perception, and culture influence the massage. “ The written words,
spoken words, and non verbal language selected are paramount in ensuring the receiver
interprets the massage as intended by the sender”(Burnett & Doller1989) All
communication beings with the sender.
The first step of the sender is faced with involves the encoding process. In order
to convey meaning, the sender must begins encoding, which means translation
information in to a massage in the form of symbols that represent ideas or concepts. This
process translates the ideas or concept in to the coded massage that will be
communicated. The symbols can take on numerous forms such as, languages, words, or
gestures. These symbols are used to encode ideas into massages that others can
understand.
When encoding a massage, the sender has to begin by deciding what he/she wants
to transmit. This decision by the sender is based on what he/she believe about the
receivers knowledge and assumption, along with what additional information he/she
wants the receiver to have. It is important for the sender to use symbols improve
encoding their massage, is to mentally visualize the communication from the receivers
point of view.
Sender Encodes
The sender initiates the communication process. When the sender has decided on
a meaning, he or she encodes a massage, and selects a channel for transmitting the
message to a receiver. To encode is to put a massage in to words or s. the massage is the
information e sender wants to transmit. The medium is the means of communication,
such as print, mass electrical and delight. As a sender the supervisor should define the
purpose of the massage, construct each massage with the receiver in mind select the best
medium, time each transmission thoughtfully, and seek feedback. Words can be verbal-
written and spoken. Words are used to create picture and stories are used to create
involvement.
Written communication should be used used when the situation is formal, official,
or long terms; or when situation affects several people in related ways. Interoffice memos
are used for recoding informal inquiries or replies. Letter are formal in tone and
addressed to an individual. They are used for official notice, formally recorded
statements, and lengthy communication Reports are more impersonal and more formal
than a letter. They are used to convey information, analyses, and recommendation.
Written communications to groups include bulletin-boards notices, poster, exhibits,
displays and audio and visual-aids.
Communication and the need to exchange information are no longer constrained
by place and time. Email, voice maim, and facsimile have facilitated communication and
the sharing of knowledge. Email is the computer transmission and storage of written
massages. Voice mail is the transmission and storage of digitized spoken massages.
Facsimiles is the transmission of documents.
Verbal or spoken communication includes informal staff meeting, planned
conferences, and mass meetings. Voice and delivery are important. Informal talk are
suitable for day-to-day liaison, directions, exchange or information, progress reviews, and
the maintenance of effective interpersonal relation. Planned appointment are appropriate
for an appointment includes preparing, bringing adequate information, and limiting
interruptions. Telephone calls are used for quick checkups and for imparting or receiving
information.
Teams using information technology have access to information, share
knowledge, and construct documents. Meeting take place electronically from multiple
location saving the organization’s resources in both the expenses of physically bringing
people from different location together, and the time lost by employees traveling.
Teleconferencing is simultaneous group verbal exchange. Videoconferencing is group
verbal and visual exchanges.
Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal massages include images, action and behavior used to communicate.
Image includes photographs, films, charts, tables, graphs, and video. Nonverbal behavior
include action, body language, and active listening. Action and body language include
eye contact, gesture, facial expression, posture and appearance. The effective
communicator maintains eye contacts for four to five second before looking away.
Gestures should be natural and well timed. Grooming and dress should be appropriate for
the situation. Listening requires god eyes contacts, alert body posture, and the frequent
use of verbal encouragement
The channel is the path a massage follows from the sender to the receiver
Supervisor use downward channels to send messages to employees. Employees use
upward channels to send messages to supervisors. Horizontal channels are used when
communicating across departmental lines. With suppliers or with customers. An informal
channel is the grapevine. It exists outside the formal channels and is used by people to
transmit casual, Personal, and social interchanges at work. The grapevine consists of
rumors, gossip, and truthful information the supervisor should pay attention to grapevine,
but should not depend on it for accurate information.
If a sender relays a message through an inappropriate channel, Its message may
not reach the right receivers. That is why senders needs to keeps in mind that selecting
the appropriates channel will greatly assist in the effectiveness of the receiver’s
understanding. The sender’s decision to utilize either an oral or a written channel for
communicating a message is influenced by several factors. The sender should ask him or
herself different question, so that they can select the appropriate channel Is the message
urgent? Is immediate feedback needed? is documentation or a permanent record
required? Is the content complicated, controversial or private? What oral and written
communication skills does receiver possess? Once the sender has answered all of these
question, they be able to chose an effective channel.
After the appropriate channel or channels are selected, the massage enters the
decoding stage of the communication process. Decoding is conducted by the receiver.
One the message is received and examined, the stimulus is sent to the brain for
interpreting, In order to assign some type of meaning to it. IT is the processing stage that
constitutes decoding. The receiver begins to interpret the symbols sent by the sender,
translating the message to their own set of experiences in order to make the symbols
meaningful. Successful communication takes place when the receiver correctly interprets
the sender’s message.

Decoding

The receiver is the individual or individual to whom the message is directed. The
extent to which this person comprehends the message will depend on a number of factor.
Which include the following: how much the individual or individuals know about the
topic, their receptivity to the message and the relationship and trust that exists between
sender and receiver. All interaction by the receiver are influenced by their experiences,
attitudes, knowledge, skills, perceptions, and culture. It is similar to the sender’s relations
with encoding.
Feedback is the final link in the chain of the communication process. After
receiving respond in some way and singles that respond to the sender. The signal may
take the form of a spoken comment, a long sigh, a written message, a smile, or some
other action. “Even a lack of response, is in a sense, a form of response” Without
feedback, the sender cannot confirm that the receiver has interpreted the message
correctly.
Feedback a very component in the communication process because it allows the
sender to evaluate the effectiveness of the message. Feedback ultimately provides an
opportunity for the sender to take corrective action to clarify a misunderstood message
“Feedback plays an important role by indicating significant communication barriers:
differences in background different interaction of words and differing emotional
reactions.”
The communication process is the perfect guide toward achieving effective
communication. When followed properly, the process can usually assure that the sender’s
massage will be understood by the receiver. Although the communication process seems
simple, It in essence is not Certain barriers present themselves throughout the process.
Those barriers are factor that have a negative inspect on the communication process.
Some common barriers include the use of an inappropriate medium, incorrect grammar,
inflammatory words, Words that conflict with body language, and technical jargon. Noise
is also another common barrier. Noise can occur during any stage of the interfering with
the essentially is anything that distorts a massage by interfering with the communication
process. Noise can take many forms, including a ratio playing in the background, another
person trying to enter your conversation and any other distractions that prevent the
receiver from paying attention.

Receiver Decides
Information technology is revolutionizing the way organizational member communicate.
Network system, electronic links among an organization computer hardware and software, enable
member to communicate instantaneously, to retrieve and share information from any place, at any
time. The receiver is the person or group for whom the communication effort is intended. Noise is
anything that interferes with the communication. Feedback ensures that mutual understanding
with the communication. It is the transfer of information from the receiver back to the sender.
The receiver decodes or makes out the meaning of the message. Thus, In the feedback loop, the
receiver becomes the sender and the sender become the receiver.
