What is communication?According to Hybel & Weaver (2004, p7), the term "communication" involves interacting with others to share information and beliefs, exchange ideas and feelings, making plans and solving problems. Sometimes this interaction occurs interpersonally, in a team or small group, in a conference, and sometimes through the media or via a computer. We can say that communication involves transmitting information from one person to another. Communication theory explains the process of information transmission, the form and structure of information, the function and effects of information. The best way to understand communication is to look at process models that can help us understand. In this article, we will focus on the characteristics of “Basic Communication Process Models” (Verderber & Verderber, 2008) while comparing them with other communication theories. A model of the basic communication process A model of the basic communication process that is developed from the Liner Communication Model by adding comments to this model, the essential components of communication include: the sender, the receivers, the messages, noise, channels, comments and context. These components are interactive. When two people communicate, it describes the movement and interdependence of each component with other components that are constantly in transmission to each other. These components also show that communication is a process, that it works together as a system, that interaction and transaction are two possible modes of communication. Now that we can see how these components relate during communication, we will discuss each separately as follows. Sender and ReceiversHybels & Weaver (2004, p.9) stated that in most communication situations, each person is both a sender and a receiver. They have information, ideas and feelings to share with others, this sharing is not a one way process, where one people sends ideas to the other who receives the message and the process is reversed. The sender translates the ideas or feelings into words or sounds and sends the message to the receiver through this process called encoding. On the other hand, the recipient must interpret the sender's messages, this process called decoding. MessagesPearson, Nelson, Titsworth, and Harter (2006, p.11) point out that communication messages take many forms that can communicate verbally and non-verbally. The message is a content of the interaction; it includes the symbols we can use to communicate our ideas, as well as facial expressions, body movements, etc...
