b. Transactional Model
- In the transactional model, there is an exchange of messages between the sender and the receiver where
both take turns in sending and receiving messages. The roles of both communicators reverse each time
in the communication process. This is also called circular model of communication and is used for
interpersonal communication. Everyday talk and interactions are examples of transactional model of
communication. The participants in this communication process who have common social and cultural
systems and relational situations can communicate with one another more effectively. A teacher
discussing a lesson with his students or teachers holding a virtual meeting communicate with one
another efficiently because they know each other and share the same social system. The model shows
that there is a continuous exchanging of messages, but barriers may take place and affect
communication.
Transaction Model

1. Sender - The originator of message or the information source selects desire message.
2. Encoder - The transmitter which converts the message into signals.
Note: The sender’s messages converted into signals like waves or binary data which is compactable
to transmit the messages through cables or satellites. For example: In telephone, the voice is
converted into wave signals and it transmits through cables
3. Decoder - The reception place of the signal which converts signals into message, a reverse process
of encode.
Note: The receiver converts those binary data or waves into message which is comfortable and
understandable for receiver. Otherwise, receiver can’t receive the exact message, and it will affect
the effective communication between sender and receiver.
4. Receiver - The destination of the message from sender.
Note: Based on the decoded message the receiver gives their feedback to sender. If the message is
distracted by noise, it will affect the communication flow between sender and receiver.
5. Noise - The messages are transferred from encoder to decoder through channel. During this process
the messages may be distracted or affected by physical noise like horn sounds, thunder, and crowd
noise or encoded signals may distract in the channel during the transmission process which affect the
communication flow or the receiver may not receive the correct message.
An example of Shannon - Weaver model of communication
Mr. Diaz made a call to his secretary “Please call the internet provider.” During his call, noise comes in
(transmission error) and his secretary heard “Please call” only. The secretary replied (feedback) “Whom will I
call, Sir?”
Sender : Mr. Diaz
Encoder : Telephone (Mr. Diaz)
Channel : Cable
Noise : Distraction in voice
Reception : Telephone (Secretary)
Receiver : Assistant
Due to transmission error or noise, the secretary was not able to understand the message.
