 Introduction

The skills of verbal communication want to be a demanding communicator, ask

to take the action of our attitudes, resulting in effective actions, therefore, attitudes and

skills, in this way they significantly influence their way of being and their verbal

communication with others. other people.

It has a large repertoire of linguistic strategies that take shape in the different

circumstances in which we use the language, orally or in writing, we carry out social

actions whose purpose is to make something known.

 Development

Strategies to improve verbal communication skills in university students.

Verbal communication between men and not a simple tool, technique and

mechanism to transmit messages, expression requires material tools, aids or supports

that make it more efficient. It also requires a technical development that humanity has

managed to translate into significant advances for the improvement in the use of

communication. This discursive act must project the relevance of the communicative

and symbolic capacity of the human being through the use of codes that configure a

discourse. comprehensive, intentional, argued and critical based on the interactions of

the speakers. (Cisneros 2011. pp. 51,52).

It consists of developing a competence that involves mastery of the

communicative skills of integrated oral language. It is more than interpreting sounds; it

is not only interpreted and produced in the oral chain and its articulated elements, but

also those that appear within the enunciation such as silences, rhythms, cadences, the

intensity of the voice and the speed of speech, as well as others such as sounds,

laughter, crying, among others.

The objectives of this exercise, following Ruiz, Noche and Ibáñez (2015), are “

to develop public speaking skills in students, to ensure that students gain confidence in

their possibilities and to practice formal presentations in controlled formal contexts”

(p. .802).

The contribution of the teacher to improve the development of verbal

communication skills in university students

3
 It is necessary to take into account that the teacher has authority over the

student, and control of the final result of the didactic process, which is materialized in

the final grade, and which undoubtedly conditions the entire communicative process.

However, despite this difference in power, defined as an asymmetric relationship

by Camaraco (2005), the interesting thing is that both the teacher and the student keep

in mind that the common objective that must be achieved is student learning, obtaining

maximum performance. . That is, the teacher should not focus exclusively on

transmitting, in the most effective way possible, his subject, but rather on the student

learning it, and that this learning has a significant nature. To achieve this, the teacher

must become a guide, a support, for the student's learning, becoming an effective

communicator of the knowledge, attitudes and values necessary for the student to

become a free, responsible, democratic, upright citizen.

A teacher must improve his or her communicative ability, and thus will be able

to achieve the student's attention in the classroom, so that the ability to express and

empathize can be transmitted by osmosis: spontaneously provide students with great

communicative ability, possess a very powerful tool to attract, motivate and reinforce,

with success, meaning and enthusiasm for what you do.

Conclusion

 In conclusion, the importance, teaching and contribution of verbal

communication skills consists of developing an integral and controlled language, in this

way they can communicate before the public, for this we must have good training and

an example to follow ( teacher), therefore we can achieve a large linguistic repertoire,

thanks to this it allows us to recognize or relate to people.
