THE NATURE OF PUBLIC COMMUNICATION

Public communication is an art of sharing ideas orally

coupled with expressions and movements in a large body of
audience.

Man expresses ideas, facts, and feelings, either in

verbal or non-verbal manner but the combination of the
languages is the most effective means of communicating one’s
message.
 What is the difference between…
Verbal communication and Oral
communication?
Verbal communication allows sharing of thoughts,
feelings, or data between people through words
written or spoken.
 Oral communication signifies messages sent
through spoken words only, and no written format of
conversation is possible.
 The most common problem of the student-
speaker is how to get the subject of his talk off his
chest. It is wise to remember that beautiful self-
expression is not the modern idea of public speaking.
Beautiful self-expression may be useful, but it is not
essential.
 Good speaking, then, whether public or private, is
communication – a sharing of something with others.
The spirit of give-and-take or mental contact should
persist during the delivery of a speech.
 The student who wants to speak effectively – and
who doesn’t – must realize that the essential mental
relationship between the speaker and his audience is
always the same, no matter how large or how small
the audience may be, or how formal or informal the
occasion.
