This document discusses oral communication and the process of communication. It defines communication as a process of sharing messages between people using verbal or nonverbal means. It then lists and explains the five main functions of communication: regulation/control, social interaction, motivation, emotional expression, and conveying information. Finally, it outlines the key elements in the communication process, including the sender, message, encoding, channel, receiver, decoding, feedback, and noise. Activities are suggested to apply the concepts, such as identifying these elements in a video about miscommunication and creating a skit demonstrating the functions of communication.
