Communication model and process are closely related to each other. Communication process is made up of some sequential parts of exchanging information. This process includes sender, encodings, message, channel, receiver, decoding and feedback. On the other hand, communication model is the symbolic presentation of communication process. Thus, it seems that communication process and model are […]

In two-way communication process, the cycle of communication involves the sender first transmitting the message to the receiver. After receiving a message, the receiver decodes it and then sends back his or her reaction to the sender. In two-way communication, information flows […]
