LINEAR
MODEL OF COMMUNICATION: Is the first model of communication, which describes
communication as a one-way process. In Linear Model the sender sends messages
to the receiver based on questions like Who? Says what? In what channel? To
whom? and With what effect? The accounts of receiver’s passive feedback in the
form of nodding, smiling, or facial expression of excitement or boredom are not
considered. Similarly, the possibility of active verbal feedback is also ruled
out in the linear model of communication.
INTERACTIVE
MODEL OF COMMUNICATION: Is the model of
communication that focuses on feedback. When the sender sends messages the
receiver responds to it. The more sender and receiver interact in the process
of communication the better they understand each other. Although interactive
model of communication is an improvised version of linear model of
communication, it still portrays communication in the form of sender and
receiver by neglecting the fact that communication is a dynamic process in
which sender and receiver can interchange their positions.
EXAMPLE:
I come from Asia where typical classroom norms suggest that a teacher speaks
and students listen similar to a linear model of communication. However, I have
experienced in the US that classroom teaching is based on interactive model of
communication.
