Understanding Transactional Communication

Description

This learning resource explores the Transactional Model of Communication. It aims to enhance students' understanding of how communication operates as a continuous, bidirectional process where both parties are simultaneously senders and receivers of messages. The resource provides insights into the key characteristics of transactional communication, distinguishing it from linear models, where information flows only in one direction. Through real-world examples, critical thinking exercises, and reflection strategies, students are encouraged to analyze everyday conversations and experiences that embody the transactional model. The document includes vocabulary definitions, background knowledge prompts, and guided practice scenarios to foster deeper understanding and application of the model.
