The communication process refers to steps used in order to respond in return successfully. Firstly, it entails several
components such as the sender of the message, also called the encoder of the actual message. Secondly, the receiver of
the message is also called the decoder. Next, the message may include verbal content, such as written or spoken words,
sign language, email, text messages, phone calls, snail-mail, and even skywriting, John O. Burtis and Paul D. Turman
note in their book "Leadership Communication as Citizenship," adding: Intentionally or not, both verbal and nonverbal
content is part of the information that is transferred in a message. If nonverbal cues do not align with the verbal message,
ambiguity is introduced even as uncertainty is increased. A message will also include nonverbal content, such as
meaningful behavior beyond words. This includes body movement and gestures, eye contact, artifacts, and clothing, as
well as vocal variety, touch, and timing. Also, part of the process is the channel used and considered. This refers to the
way a message is conveyed. Lastly, feedback refers to the response or reaction of the receiver to the sender’s message.
Feedback is the essence of communication. This feedback may be an oral or written message, action, or simply silence.

Before the student government election, the student journalists organized a miting de avance for the

student community. The audience can also ask questions to the candidates to hear what they have to say about the
query. There can also be an arranged debate between the parties if they will.

thought were relevant to present her clear platform. She took a day or two to put the piece in her memory. She
even rehearsed to ensure that she will not forget any detail of her speech.

to answer the questions on the spot. He believes that he could be given any question any time so he did not prepare

hours before the miting de avance. He tried to note possible answers in case these will be thrown at him. He spent
a few minutes preparing the ideas that he could use as the answer to the questions given to him.
Aspiring Student Leader D fears that he would forget what he prepared. He printed his speech on sheets of
paper and plans to read them. He indicated when to pause and what words to emphasize. Despite this, he
rehearsed reading this to ensure that he is not obviously reading from paper.
