SHORT ANSWER:              Sender / Receiver / Message / Feedback / Context / Channel /  “Noise”(Interference) I expect that you recognize this list as the primary elements present in every communication situation (I call them the Big 7).  As you know, basic communication competence in these elements is difficult, and communicating interculturally creates additional considerations and challenges.
