Oral communication is that which is
established between two or more
people making use of a shared
language or code through a means
of physical transmission, which
traditionally was air, although today
we can add the telephone or video
conference.
Oral communication
Oral communication allows us to
transmit information, ideas, feelings,
emotions, beliefs, opinions, attitudes
to the person with whom we are
speaking…
It is a bilateral
communication,
since the
interlocutors
intervene in it.
The context is
fundamental to
determine the use
of one or another
expression or to
take care, to a
greater or lesser
extent, of the
language, the
posture…
It is a perishable act; that
is to say, it is not destined
to be maintained over
time.
The use of the auditory
canal. The support in the
non verbal language
(gestures, expressions,
looks, postures...)
Characteristics
Vices
Dictionary errors are those
forms of construction or use of
inappropriate vocabulary that
can make the correct
interpretation of a message
difficult. It involves vocabulary,
as it includes all the factors that
alter the normal flow of
communication.THE DEQUEISM

The breath is the foundation of honest
communication and impactful public
speaking. It is the fuel for the voice,
body and mind. There isn’t a definition of
a “proper” breath or a “good” breathing
pattern. Everything is subjective.
For example, a TEDx speaker
has different “breathing needs”
than an actor on stage. They
all need air, but they use it in a
different way. There is no one
“good” way to breathe.
Breathing
Kind Clavicle breathing
The rib cage doesn't allow
the lungs to expand as
much as they would in
deeper breaths. This is
inefficient because the
greatest amount of blood
flow to pick up oxygen
occurs in the lower areas of
the lungs.
Diaphragmati
c breathing
Is to bring air into the lower
part of your lungs, using the
muscles of the diaphragm.
This breathing technique
allows a complete flow of
oxygen to our body, allowing
it to function properly. The
heart rate drops as well as
the blood pressure
Thoracic breathing
Rib or chest breathing
involves the intercostal
muscles, and with it the
rib cage expands.
Although it is not
usually used
independently, but as
one more phase for
complete breathing.
The full breath
Deep or complete breathing
requires that the air that
comes in through your
nostrils fills the different
areas of your lungs.
This breathing technique
provides the body with a
superior state of calm
and relaxation.
Intonation describes how the voice rises and falls in
speech. The three main patterns of intonation in English
are: falling intonation, rising intonation and fall-rise
intonation.
Intonation
Rising intonation
Rising intonation
describes how the voice
rises at the end of a
sentence. Rising
intonation is common in
yes-no questions.
Falling intonation
Falling intonation
describes how the voice
falls on the final stressed
syllable of a phrase or a
group of words. A falling
intonation is very common
in wh-questions
Fall-rise intonation
Fall-rise intonation
describes how the voice
falls and then rises. We
use fall-rise intonation at
the end of statements
when we want to say that
we are not sure, or when
we may have more to add
Diction can be defined as style of
speaking or writing, determined by
the choice of words by a speaker or
a writer. Diction, or choice of words,
often separates good writing from
bad writing. It depends on a number
of factors. Firstly, the word has to be
right and accurate. Secondly, words
should be appropriate to the context
in which they are used. Lastly, the
choice of words should be such that
the listener or reader understands
easily.
