Oral Communication is an integral part of Oral History, hence, it is essential to indicate its basic rules and significance by making two points that highlight the importance of communication as an integral part of every person’s past, present, and future. (Stiegelbauer & Tirban, 2012)
Oral communication is communicating with spoken words. It's a verbal form of communication where you communicate your thoughts, present ideas, and share information.

Editor's Notes
Oral communication is communicating with spoken words. It's a verbal form of communication where you communicate your thoughts, present ideas and share information. Examples of oral communication are conversations with friends, family or colleagues, presentations and speeches. (Harappa.edu December,2020)
Communication is a two-way process of connecting to both living and non-living things. It is also a means of sharing and exchanging messages, information, ideas, and feelings for mutual understanding (Gregoriom, J.C., 2015).
Communication connects people and the world they live in. It is through communication that people are able to express their thoughts and ideas or convey information and messages through word of mouth, gestures and signals, signs, and others. People have always communicated with one another in various forms.
Let us further define communication using the two key terms stated above, “message” and “understand”.
Communication is a message being understood.
Unless a message is understood, we cannot say that communication has taken place. Let us send a message to someone and say, “where came first”. The person who gets this message would wonder what it means, for the arrangement of the words does not make any sense. The message is sent but the receiver does not understand it. Therefore, for communication to take place, we have to consider two conditions. First, there should be a clear message. Second, the message must be understood by the receiver for whom it is meant.
Communication is social interaction through messages.
We may say that “communication is a sharing of experience.” In our society, we all interact with messages. Without interactions, a society cannot survive. Social interaction is always through messages. We discuss problems and arrive at solutions. We exchange ideas and interact with others. We transact, and then we negotiate. In doing all these, we use communication. Without communication, all forms of human relationships will vanish and die. Communication is therefore crucial in building and maintaining relationships.
Communication is divided into elements which help us better understand its mechanics or process.
As the communication transaction continues, the sender and receiver may exchange roles until understanding is achieved. Barriers to communication sometimes block the transmission of the message thereby creating misunderstanding. Through this process, we are able to understand that communication is systematic. In the advent of technology, the exchange of information and messages in society has advanced and has been a subject of many studies.
Since communication is certain in our lives, it comes naturally and unknowingly. Communication serves many purposes. The following are some of the many reasons why we communicate:
From the above table, we realize that communication serves many purposes. Whether we are at home, in school, at work, or at play, we engage in communication.
Oral communication helps to build trust and reliability. The process of oral communication is more effective than an email or a text message. For important and sensitive conversations—such as salary negotiations and even conflict resolution, you can rely on oral communication to get your point across, avoid misunderstandings and minimize confusion.
