Encoding과 Decoding의 차이

[Dio Jin]

Encoding:

Encoding is the process of transforming thoughts, ideas, or information into a language or code that can be understood by others. It involves selecting words, forming sentences, and using appropriate grammar and syntax to convey a message effectively.

Example 1 (Written Encoding): A person writing an email in English to a colleague is encoding their thoughts into written language. They choose words, structure sentences, and use punctuation to convey the intended message.

Example 2 (Spoken Encoding): A non-native English speaker participating in a conversation is encoding their thoughts into spoken language. They choose words and phrases, use appropriate pronunciation, and follow conversational norms to express their ideas.

Decoding:

Decoding is the process of interpreting or extracting meaning from a message or information that has been encoded by someone else. It involves understanding the language, context, and nuances to comprehend what the sender is trying to convey.

Example 1 (Written Decoding): When the colleague receives the email mentioned earlier, they engage in decoding. They read the text, interpret the words and sentences, and extract the intended meaning from the written message.

Example 2 (Spoken Decoding): In a conversation, when one person speaks in English, the listener decodes the spoken words and phrases, comprehending the speaker's intended message based on their understanding of the language.

In both encoding and decoding, effective communication requires not only linguistic proficiency but also an understanding of cultural and contextual factors. In ESL, learners work on improving their skills in both encoding (expressing themselves in English) and decoding (understanding messages conveyed in English) to become proficient communicators.
