The document discusses oral communication and the communication process. It begins with an activity where students list their daily communication routines and share with classmates. They then analyze questions about what communication is, how to communicate effectively, and how to ensure the recipient understands the message. The document then defines communication etymologically and as a process of sharing experiences clearly and understandably using verbal and non-verbal cues. It discusses the components of the communication process, including a sender transmitting a message to a receiver who understands it and may provide feedback.
