Model of The Speech Communication Process, which contains the following: Speaker (You) Message (Impromptu or planned speech) Channel (sound, sight, smell, touch, taste) Listener (Audience, also you) Feedback (Nonverbal responses, question

and answer period) Interference (Distractions that are internal or

external) Situation (Context, occasion)


Frame of reference is everything in communication!

How does the sum of a person’s

knowledge, experience, goals, values, and attitudes affect the role of speaker or listener?

Why do we need to remember that everything a speaker says is filtered through a listener’s frame of reference?

Can two people can have exactly the same frame of reference?


Public Speaking Concepts

Feedback The messages, usually nonverbal, sent from a listener

to a speaker. Interference Anything that impedes the communication of a

message. Situation The time and place in which speech communication

occurs. Stage Fright Anxiety over the prospect of giving a speech in front of

an audience.
