Overview: This lesson teaches learners to define the elements of effective communication and its process. It will
focus on communication as the best way to convey meaning and introduce barriers to the communication
process. Students will learn the communication process loop and its key elements.

I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, 85% of the students should be able to:

a. Determine and differentiate the different theories of communication.

b. Comprehend the elements of the communication process and respond positively to it and how it applies
to their goals and lives.

c. Effectively explain how the communication process works.

Cognitive: — Define effective communication — Explain the elements of the communication process, the

III. Procedure:
A. Motivation: The teacher will show slides with different pictures of people or objects and the students
will determine what sound they produce.

Picture #1: Dog

Sound it makes: Knock Knock

Picture #6: Wind

Sound it makes: Swoosh
Picture #7: Incoming Phone Call
Sound it makes: Kriing~ Kriing~

B. Presentation: The teacher will present her topic about the Nature and Elements of Communication
with the use of PowerPoint presentation.

C. Discussion:

The teacher will ask the following questions:

Can these sounds be used in communication?
If yes, how?

What is are the different Theories of Communication that you know?

After asking, the teacher will now process with the first part of the lesson:

Theories of Communication

a. Bow-wow Theory - This theory states that language is a product of man’s mimicking of the sounds of
nature. For example, when water moves, one hears a splash or a slosh. Animal sounds form part of the
English dictionary

b. Ding-dong Theory - Similar to bow-wow theory, the ding-dong theory attributes the development of
the language to man’s imitative nature. However, human beings did not imitate only sounds coming from
nature. They also imitated the sounds emanating from those things they themselves produced.

c. Pooh-pooh Theory - According to this theory, languages of men came as a result of their emotional
outbursts.

d. Yo-he-ho Theory - This theory states that a language is a product of man’s physical activities. Human
beings’ utter words as they exert effort in accomplishing their physical tasks.

After discussing the Theories of Communication, the teacher will now process to the next part of the
lesson, The Communication Process.

The Process of Communication

The sharing of meaningful information between two or more people with the goal of the receiver
understanding the sender's intended message.

Elements of Communication

For communication to take place, there must be five (5) factors involved:

a. The Sender – is the speaker or the communicator who has his/her own purpose, knowledge, interest,
attitude, skills and credibility.

b. The Message – is the idea being transmitted by the sender to the listener.

c. The Channel – is the medium or vehicle through which the message is sent. It may be verbal or visual.

d. The Receiver – is the target of the communication. He is the destination of the message, also known as
the listener
 e. The Feedback – is the reaction given by the listener to the sender of the message. It is what completes
the communication process.

D. Activity: Charades

The teacher will choose 10 students to come in front and pick one paper from the box. The chosen
students will now act out what is written, the students seated will not try to guess what sound the chosen
one is reenacting.

IV. Generalization
What is the importance of studying The Theories of Communication?

One of the most important reasons why we should learn the theories of communication is to know the
history on how language started, and what are the theories that made what our language what it is today.

And, what are the Elements of Communication and how is its process?

The Elements of Communication consist of 5 parts; The sender, the message, the channel, the receiver
and the feedback. The communication process comes in stages, it starts with the encoding and ends with
the decoding. The encoder, popularly knows as the sender, transmits the message to the receiver or also
known as the decoder of the message and after decoding the information, the receiver will deliver his
own response to the sender, also known as the feedback. The mediums used in transferring the message
from one recipient to another is called the channel (for example, letters and text messages).
