Communication theory and practice

Communication theory explores how information is exchanged between individuals or groups, focusing on the processes, methods, and effectiveness of sharing messages. It examines factors like language, context, perception, and feedback that influence understanding. In practice, this means understanding how messages are crafted, interpreted, and sometimes misunderstood, to improve clarity and connection. Effective communication involves clear expression, active listening, and awareness of non-verbal cues and cultural differences. Overall, it’s about creating meaningful, accurate exchanges that foster understanding, cooperation, and relationships.
