Communication Models Presentation

Communication Models Unit 2: Listening & Comm English Mr Hill Introduction • Communication, like most anything else, can be studied in order to find out exactly how it works • This can be done in real life situations or it can be done on a more “academic” level • This presentation will show you the three most recognized and accepted models of communication and how they work MODEL #1: CONTINUOUS LOOP MODEL • This is the EARLIEST model of communication that has been presented and accepted by others who study the field • It is also the SIMPLEST model (though it might not look like it at first) • It includes all of the basic parts/players in the communication process • There are still a few problems, though!

R R NOISE Static or Connection Mental or Electronic MODEL #3: BERLO’S “MODEL” • This is the MOST RECENT model of communication study • An exact date is not given for the study, but it is believed to have been completed in the late 1970s or the early 1980s • This one is not designed to be “academic” or “practical.” It is designed to be “ALL-INCLUSIVE” MODEL #3: BERLO’S “MODEL” •Even with all of the good things that this “model” illustrates and tries to describe, there is still one little issue to remember… MODEL #3: BERLO’S “MODEL” •IT’S NOT REALLY EVEN A TRUE MODEL IN THE FIRST PLACE! MODEL #3: BERLO’S “MODEL” • It is NOT a model because it was never actually tested • Berlo designed what he thought would be the ideal system to describe communication, but never had a chance to put it to the test in real life MODEL #3: BERLO’S “MODEL” •Since it was never “fieldtested,” the “model” that Berlo developed has to take on a new title… MODEL #3: BERLO’S “MODEL” •IT HAS TO BE CALLED A “THEORY” Berlo’s Listening Theory Berlo’s Listening Theory CO T EN NT CO T EN NT CO DE Berlo’s Listening Theory Berlo’s Listening Theory Background Biases Ability T EN NT Knowledge CO Emotions CO DE Sender: Berlo’s Listening Theory Sender: CO DE Background T EN NT Knowledge CO Emotions Receiver: Emotions Knowledge Background Biases Biases Ability Ability
