Speaking

Explanation:

The process of communication consists of two elements: encoding and decoding.

Encoding is the process of picturing an image in your mind and trying to figure out how to express that image in words. Decoding is the process of listening to what people say; then, trying to come up with an image of those words.

An example of encoding is when you're giving direction to your friend about which section in the grocery store she can buy some meat. In this case, you are trying to put the grocery store's image in your mind in order to come up with your directions.

On the other hand, your friend is decoding what you're saying. She is trying to come up with an image associated with your directions.
