1 Very good! Our first lesson is about the nature of communication. At the end of this

2 episode, you are expected to be able to explain the nature of communication. Which

3 means, you need to know what communication is. Are you ready for this?

4 BIZ: MSC UP FOR 3 SECS AND UNDER

5 RADIO TEACHER: Get your notebook and pen because we will now start our lesson.

6 BIZ: MSC UP FOR 5 SECS AND FADE UNDER

7 RADIO TEACHER: We will discuss on the nature of communication. What is it really?

8 Communication is a process. It involves active participation of both sender and

9 receiver. Again, there is active participation of both sender and receiver. If there

10 is no sender nor receiver, there is no communication. Hmmm…Have you tried it?

11 BIZ: MSC UP FOR 3 SECS AND UNDER

12 RADIO TEACHER: According to Webster’s dictionary, it is the act or process of using

13 words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information or to express

14 your ideas, thoughts, and feelings to someone else. Even if you just say,

15 “Hi!” to someone, you are expressing something. Even if you just nod your head or

16 wave your hand, you are saying something to someone. Therefore, saying “Hi!” and

17 nodding or waving are examples of communication. Go ahead, try it! Say something

18 to whoever is near you now! ⁽PAUSE)

1 RADIO TEACHER: What did you say? ⁽PAUSE) How did the person react? ⁽PAUSE)

2 What just happened was an example of communication. You are the sender and the

3 other one is the receiver of your message. Let us have another example. Listen to

4 this short dialogue between two friends. Note some details to remember them.

5 BIZ: MSC UP FOR 3 SECS AND UNDER

6 CHARACTER 1: Good morning miss! I am Jay Ar Cartie. May I know your name?

7 CHARACTER 2: Oh! Hi, I’m Mary Angel Abut.

8 SFX: UYYY SOUND

9 CHARACTER 1: Are you new here? I have not seen you in this school before!

10 CHARACTER 2: Yeah, we used to live in Pasay but because of the pandemic, we

11 moved here.

12 CHARACTER 1: Hey, I can assist you. What is your section?

13 CHARACTER 2: I am enrolled in Grade 11 Lanao. I am a Humanities student.

14 CHARACTER 1: What a coincidence! Me too! Come, let us go to our classroom!

15 SFX: MR. SUAVE MSC

16 RADIO TEACHER: Do the lines of the dialogue sound familiar? ⁽PAUSE) Correct! It is

17 what you say when you want to make friends! That’s communication!

18 SFX: CLAP SOUND

Page 666…Example

1 RADIO TEACHER: Now, going back to the dialogue, who was the sender and who was

2 the receiver? ⁽PAUSE) Right, both were receiver and sender alternately. Was there

3 active participation of both sender and receiver? ⁽PAUSE) Yes, there was because

4 they responded to each other! That is how communication works! That is why

5 communication is a process. As discussed earlier, it involves active participation of

6 sender and receiver. What did they use in expressing themselves? ⁽PAUSE)

7 Right again! They used words and if we could see them, I am sure there were also

8 gestures and facial expressions! Remember, what I told you earlier? According to

9 Webster’s dictionary? Yes, it is the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or

10 behaviors to express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts,

11 and feelings to someone else.

9 BIZ: MSC UP FOR 3 SECS AND UNDER

10 RADIO TEACHER: Now, let us discuss the other definitions in the module.

11 BIZ: MSC UP FOR 3 SECS AND UNDER

12 RADIO TEACHER: Communication is a two-way process of reaching mutual

13 understanding. Participants do not only exchange information, news, ideas

14 and feelings but also share meaning. In general, communication is a means

15 of connecting people or places. Just like what we observed in the dialogue.

1 RADIO TEACHER: There was a mutual understanding of the two although they met

2 for the first time. Oops! I am not talking about the M-U relationship ok?

3 SFX: LAUGH SOUND

4 RADIO TEACHER: I am talking about being able to understand each other’s message to

5 avoid misunderstanding! Who knows? That understanding could later become a real

6 M-U relationship.

7 SFX: UUYYY SOUND

8 RADIO TEACHER: Ok, back to our lesson now! Again, communication is a means of

9 connecting people and places. Could you repeat that? ⁽PAUSE) Well done!

What Is It
 Communication is a process. It involves active participation of both
sender and receiver. It is the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to
express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to
someone else (Webster Dictionary).
It is a two-way process of reaching mutual understanding, in which participants do
not only exchange (encode-decode) information, news, ideas and feelings but also create
and share meaning. In general, communication is a means of connecting people or
places (Business Dictionary).
Communication is much more of an ART than a science. No one right or wrong
way to communicate – no set of absolute rules to be followed
