ORAL
COMMUNICATION
By: Oscar Gil
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
