Mr. Nobody saw that Bullying around the

campus was rampant

Announced through the

Radio (DXCR)Students at

MVC

Tom understood that bullying is not good

Tom then asksed if tripping someone counts as bullying.

I need students to know that they cannot bully each other.

I wonder if that includes tripping someone for fun…

for bullying.”

The Speech Chain

• Chain of events linking the speaker’s brain with the listener’s brain.

Vocal Organs, Tongue, Lips, and Vocal Cords

Motor Nerves

Speaker

Arranges thoughts

Or decides what

to say

Brain Sends message

• Linguistic Level: selection of suitable words and sentences

• Physiological Level: neural and muscular activity

• Acoustic Level: generation and transmission of a sound wave

• At the LISTENER’s ends of the chain, it is reversed

Identifying barriers

Communication is about overcoming barriers.

State all the barriers that you can think of that impact on your day-to-day communication.

Barriers of Communication

• Behind the communication process are several factors that inevitably spur bottlenecks in the way of efficient message sending and receiving.

• These obstacles concerning language use, the people involved, sounds, the environment and those of the immediate situation can obstruct the flow of meaning and cause communication breakdown.

1. Speaker : His/her physical appearance Voice Sounds Style : idiosyncrasies and mannerism

2. Message: Clarity Conciseness Concreteness Completeness Correctness coherence

3. Channel: Needs attention Appropriateness

4. Listener: Not in the position to listen Might not be the right person May had bad habits of listening

5. Feedback:If the sender does not know how to send feedbackListener does not know how to receive feedback

Barriers which are classified . . .1. Personal

Personal barriers are real or imagined hindrances between you and the success you want to achieve.

2. InterpersonalIt occur due to the inappropriate transaction of words

between two or more people. The two broad categories into which this barrier can be classified are: Inefficiency in communication skills & negative aspect nurturing in the climate

3. Perceptual Are internal barriers that occur within a person's

mind when the person believes or perceives that the other person that they are going to speak with will not understand or be interested in what they have to say.

4. Environmental Are any part of the environment or surroundings

that can prevent communication or getting in touch with another person or something else

5. Physical Any disturbance or interference that reduces the

clarity and effectiveness of communication is called noise. Noise distracts the persons communication.

6. Organizational Occurs in the organization due to rules and

regulations relationships.

7. Semantic The systematic study of the meaning of words.

Thus, the semantic barriers are barriers related to language
