Introduction 

Communication is a basic and essential part of human life. From morning to night, we continuously share ideas, thoughts, emotions, and information with others. It is through communication that people understand each other and build relationships in family, school, workplace, and society.

The word “communication” is derived from the Latin word communicare, which means “to share” or “to make common.” Therefore, communication is the process of sharing information in order to create mutual understanding between two or more people.

Communication is not limited to speaking only. It includes:

Verbal communication (spoken words)

Written communication (letters, messages, emails)

Non-verbal communication (gestures, facial expressions, body language)

Definition of Communication

Communication is the process of sharing information, ideas, feelings, and thoughts between two or more people through verbal, non-verbal, or written methods in order to create mutual understanding.

According to Keith Davis, communication is “the process of passing information and understanding from one person to another.”

" Communication is essentially the ability of one person to make contact with another and make himself a herself understand".

                                             -  John Adair

" Communication is transfer of information from one person to another, whether or not it elicits confidence, but the information transferred must be understandable to receive."

                                              - G.G.Brown

" The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said."

                                               -Peter ducker

In simple words, communication means exchanging messages so that the receiver understands what the sender wants to say.

Process of Communication

The communication process involves several important steps. It is a continuous and dynamic process.

1. Sender

The sender is the person who starts the communication.

The sender has an idea, thought, or message to share.

Example: A teacher explaining a lesson in class.

2. Encoding

Encoding means converting ideas or feelings into words, symbols, gestures, or signals.

Example: The teacher uses simple language to explain a topic.

3. Message

The message is the actual information or content that is being communicated.

It may be:

Spoken (speech)

Written (letter, email)

Non-verbal (gestures, facial expressions)

4. Channel (Medium)

The channel is the way through which the message is sent.

Examples:

Face-to-face conversation

Telephone

Email

Letter

Social media

5. Receiver

The receiver is the person who gets the message.

Example: Students listening to the teacher.

6. Decoding

Decoding means interpreting or understanding the message by the receiver.

If the receiver understands correctly, communication becomes effective.

7. Feedback

Feedback is the response given by the receiver to the sender.

Example: Students asking questions or answering the teacher.

Feedback helps to know whether the message was understood properly.

8. Noise

Noise is anything that disturbs or blocks communication.

Examples:

Loud sounds

Poor network connection

Misunderstanding

Language barriers

Diagram of Communication Process (Simple Form)

Sender → Encoding → Message → Channel → Receiver → Decoding → Feedback

(Noise can affect the process at any stage.)

Conclusion

Communication is essential in education, business, and daily life. Effective communication happens when the message is clearly sent, properly understood, and feedback is received. Without communication, no relationship or organization can function properly.

If you want, I can also give this in long exam-answer format (5–6 pages style) for your B.Ed or English subject.

        Chronemics

Introduction

Chronemics is the study of how time is used in communication. It is a part of non-verbal communication that explains how people understand and value time during interactions.

The term “chronemics” was introduced by Edward T. Hall, who studied how cultural differences affect communication.

Meaning of Chronemics

Chronemics refers to the way people use time, respond to time, and structure time in communication. It includes:

Punctuality

Waiting time

Speaking time

Pauses in conversation

Speed of speech

Time itself sends a message without words.

• Definition: Coined by Fernando Poyatos in 1972, it examines both subjective (perceived) and objective (clock-based) time in human interaction.

Types of Time in Chronemics

1. Monochronic Time (M-Time)

People who follow monochronic time prefer:

Doing one task at a time

Following strict schedules

Being punctual

Example: In schools and offices, classes and meetings start at fixed times.

2. Polychronic Time (P-Time)

People who follow polychronic time:

Do multiple tasks at once

Are flexible with schedules

Give more importance to relationships than time

Example: In many social gatherings, people may arrive late without feeling it is wrong.

Importance of Chronemics in Education

Since you are involved in teaching practice, chronemics is very important in the classroom:

A teacher must manage time properly during lectures.

Giving equal time to students shows fairness.

Proper pauses help students understand better.

Finishing the lesson within time shows discipline.

 

Examples of Chronemics

Arriving late to class shows lack of seriousness.

Making someone wait for a long time may show disrespect.

Quick response in conversation shows interest.

Silence or long pauses may show hesitation or thinking.

Conclusion

Chronemics is an important aspect of non-verbal communication. It shows how time influences communication and relationships. Proper time management and punctuality improve communication effectiveness in personal, social, and professional life.

Defining the Purpose of Presentation

Defining the purpose of a presentation means clearly identifying the main objective or goal that the speaker wants to achieve. Before preparing any presentation, the presenter must decide why they are speaking and what outcome they expect from the audience.

A clear purpose helps in selecting the right content, organizing ideas properly, and delivering the message effectively. Without a defined purpose, the presentation may become confusing and unfocused.
