LESSON
SAMPLE ORAL
1 COMMUNICATION
ACTIVITIES
5
WHAT’S NEW?

Oral communication implies communication through mouth. It includes

individuals conversing with each other, be it direct conversation or telephonic
conversation. Speeches, presentations, discussions are all forms of oral
communication. Oral communication is generally recommended when the
communication matter is of temporary kind or where a direct interaction is
required. Face to face communication (meetings, lectures, conferences,
interviews, etc.) is significant so as to build a rapport and trust.

The four basic types of speeches are: to inform, to instruct, to entertain,

and to persuade. These are not mutually exclusive of one another. You may
have several purposes in mind when giving your presentation. For example, you
may try to inform in an entertaining style. Another speaker might inform the
audience and try to persuade them to act on the information.

1. Informative – This speech serves to provide interesting and useful information to

your audience. Some examples of informative speeches:
 A teacher telling students about earthquakes
 A student talking about her research
 A travelogue about the Tower of London
 A computer programmer speaking about new software
2. Demonstrative Speeches – This has many similarities with an informative
speech. A demonstrative speech also teaches you something. The main
difference lies in including a demonstration of how to do the thing you’re
teaching. Some examples of demonstrative speeches:
 How to start your own blog
 How to bake a cake
 How to write a speech
 How to… just about anything
3. Persuasive – A persuasive speech works to convince people to change in some
way: they think, the way they do something, or to start doing something that they
are not currently doing. Some examples of persuasive speeches:
 Become an organ donor
 Improve your health through better eating
 Television violence is negatively influencing our children
 Become a volunteer and change the world
4. Entertaining — The after-dinner speech is a typical example of an entertaining
speech. The speaker provides pleasure and enjoyment that make the audience
laugh or identify with anecdotal information. Some examples of entertaining
speeches:
 Excuses for any occasion
 Explaining cricket to an American
  How to buy a condom discreetly
 Things you wouldn’t know without the mo

WHAT IS IT?

Advantages of Oral Communication

 There is high level of understanding and transparency in oral communication as it
is interpersonal.
 There is no element of rigidity in oral communication. There is flexibility for
allowing changes in the decisions previously taken.
 The feedback is spontaneous in case of oral communication. Thus, decisions can
be made quickly without any delay.
 Oral communication is not only time saving, but it also saves upon money and
efforts.
 Oral communication is best in case of problem resolution. The conflicts, disputes
and many issues/differences can be put to an end by talking them over.
 Oral communication is an essential for teamwork and group energy.
 Oral communication promotes a receptive and encouraging morale among
organizational employees.
 Oral communication can be best used to transfer private and confidential
information/matter.

Disadvantages/Limitations of Oral Communication

 Relying only on oral communication may not be sufficient as business
communication is formal and very organized.
 Oral communication is less authentic than written communication as they are
informal and not as organized as written communication.
 Oral communication is time-saving as far as daily interactions are concerned, but
in case of meetings, long speeches consume lot of time and are unproductive at
times.
 Oral communications are not easy to maintain and thus they are unsteady.
 There may be misunderstandings as the information is not complete and may
lack essentials.
 It requires attentiveness and great receptivity on part of the receivers/audience.
 Oral communication (such as speeches) is not frequently used as legal records
except in investigation work.
