Oral communication involves conveying messages through spoken words and occurs both formally and informally. It has advantages like being quick, direct, and enabling immediate feedback. However, there are also vices like cacophony and amphibology that can cause misunderstandings. Proper breathing techniques and control of intonation and diction are important for effective oral communication. Breathing fully from the diaphragm fuels vocal sound and thinking, while varied intonation and word choice aid understanding and interest.

Oral communication is established between two or more people, has as a means of transmission speech and as a code a language. Each technique used for the purpose of exchanging ideas has a very varied field of application, among which are: personal, social, professional, political or scientific, among others.

The process of using wordless messages to generate is called Non-verbal Communication. A good communicator must be able to augment his/her verbal communication with the right non-verbal communication.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
2. Oral communication
Oral communication can be defined as the process of
conveying or receiving messages through spoken words.
Is the oldest form of communication, it occurs formally
and informally in face to face to conversations, telephone
conversations, meetings, discussion groups, speeches,
seminars, conferences among others.
3. Characteristics
It is quick and direct.
It helps to convey the message immediately to the
receiver.
It enables in obtaining immediate feedback.
It saves time, money and efforts.
It is the best in case of problems resolution.
It is the best to transfer private and confidential
information.
4. Vices in oral communication
A definition first:
Languages vices can be
defined as the incorrect use
of words at the moment of
speaking, that is to say, the
inappropriate use of
vocabulary. It involves also
diction.
5. Vices
Cacophony: repetition of the same syllabus and letters.
Amphibology: more than one interpretation given
Archaism: use of antiquated words
Barbarism: misspelling of words
The pleonasm: the addition of words that are no
necessary.
6. Vices
Solecism: a syntactic error in the sentence
Neologism: words used from another language
Metaplasm: changes in the order of the words, used
mainly in spoken language.
A vulgarism: a morphological, phonetic or syntactic
expression used at the place of a correct word.
7. Breathing: A definition first.
Is the process of respiration,
during which air is inhaled into the
lungs through the mouth or nose
due to muscle contraction and the
exhaled due to muscle relaxation.
Without breathing we can not live
more than a minute.
8. Types of breathing
Diaphragmatic:
On every inhale the
diaphragm muscle is
designed to lower
minimizing the space in
the abdominal cavity. It
is called belly breath.
9. Types of breathing
Thoracic:
If the diaphragm doesn’t
descend when we
inhale the chest must
expand to
accommodate the air
that has been sucked
into the lungs. It is
practiced in yoga.
10. Types of breathing
Clavicular:
Most people don’t realize just
how much space the lungs take
up in the body. The top of each
lung is above the collar bone, or
clavicle. Clavicular breathing is
unfortunately when we don’t
even manage to get the inhale
lower than the collar bone.
11. Breathing in communication
It is premium fuel: When we breathe deeply from the belly, we’re
getting a bigger, higher quality of breath to fuel our vocal sound.
It helps to Think clearly: Good, deep breathing helps to get oxygen
to the brain and supports clear thinking.
It helps to obey the speed limit: When we take time to pause and
breathe, we automatically slow down and we give time to the
audience to process the information.
It helps to Keep It Grounded: Breathing down in our belly, helps to
center our energy and gives us a sense of being grounded and
balanced.
12. Breathing Excercises
Abdominal breathing: With one hand on the chest
and the other on the belly, take a deep breath in
through the nose, ensuring the diaphragm (not the
chest) inflates with enough air to create a stretch in the
lungs
Resonant breathing, also known as coherent
breathing: is when you breathe at a rate of 5 full
breaths per minute. You can achieve this rate by
inhaling and exhaling for a count of 5.
13. Intonation: A definition first
Intonation is about how we say things, rather than what we say. Without
intonation, it's impossible to understand the expressions and
thoughts that go with words. Intonation is particularly important in
expressing. It is also is the melody or music of a language, says David
Crystal, author of "A Little Book of Language." Intonation refers to the
way our voice rises and falls as we speak.
14. Intonation in communication
Intonation is a largely unconscious mechanism, and as
such, a complex aspect of pronunciation. Intonation is
crucial for communication, it can be as important as word
choice, we don't always realize how much difference
intonation makes.
For example :
Awareness of intonation aids communication.
Incorrect intonation can result in misunderstandings,
speakers losing interest or even taking offence.
15. Diction: A definition first
refers to word choice and
phrasing in any written or
spoken text. It is also
the manner in which words
are pronounced.
16. Diction in oral communication
Diction in oral communication
plays an important role because
it influences our style and affects
our audience understanding.
Good diction makes our voice
sound more professional and
help us to improve our
confidence as a presenter.
