Assessment Task 1-1

1. What key words or phrases best capture the meaning of communication?

First communication is an information exchange, understand that definitions are neither

wrong nor right, just useful or not useful. Many of the definitions offered here dilute
“communication” to the point that everything is communication. Not too useful. If I sneeze and
you move away from me, it is not useful to call that communicative behavior. If I look at the sky
and see gray clouds, so I grab my umbrella, I haven’t just communicated with the sky.
Communication should encompass a variety of situations such as ordinary conversation,
deception, coded/secretive communication between POWs several cells apart, and the game of
Charades. The definition is less useful if it encompasses cursing when you hit your thumb with a
hammer, or crying when you are sad.

In very simply terms: You have thoughts “asleep” in your head that I would like you to be
currently thinking. I access your senses with some sort of stimuli sounds, sights, smells, etc. That
I believe will activate those thoughts. If it works, you and I are thinking the same thing. That is
communication. In a fully communicative situation you are aware that I am doing this and you
contribute to the process.

2. Discuss the adage “One cannot not communicate.”

it will be harder than you expect to keep up the silence for more than five or ten seconds, if we
are not say anything at all. If you don’t believe it, try it out yourself! During your next
conversation with your friend or partner just stop talking. communication is a big part of our
life. It is a very important component among athletes, between athletes and coaches within a
training, before and also during a competition, and between athletes and their parents. Good
or bad communication will influence you in getting what you want or need to succeed in
sports, everyday life and to reach your goals.
Assessment Task 2-1

feedback play in this process?
A cycle of communication is not a two-way communication in its entirety. Meaning, two-way
communication is not as simple as one may infer. communication by focusing on the eyes of the person
speaking, making eye contact, watching body language, responding appropriately with comments,
questions, and paraphrasing, and summarizing to confirm main points and an accurate understanding.

Assessment Task 3-1

1. Watch closely two persons communicating with each other. Note the various signs and symbols used
for interaction. Analyze how their roles as sender and receiver interchange while interacting. Examine if
there is any noise or barrier existing in their communication. If yes, observe the effect of the noise on the
communication process.

As I watched my friend converse with someone, I observed a few peculiarities about how they
communicate they were chatting at a distance with a face mask covering their mouths because of the
community guidelines implemented for Covid-19 in our neighborhood. In addition I noticed that noises
from the passing vehicles in the road delays the communication process, the receiver could not easily
understand the message of the sender due to noise distance and confusing delivery of the message. As a
result my friend had to repeat herself several times in louder voice until her friend understand it.
