Communication skills are vital for a student’s academic success and future career
prospects. As a dynamic process, communication involves an interaction between two or
more people, the sender and the receiver. Being a good communicator will help you in
your personal, academic, and professional life. Knowing that you can effectively speak
and present to others will give you the confidence to do well in many spheres of life.

Oral Communication is a process of transmitting information or ideas verbally from

a particular individual to many groups of people. Oral communication can be either formal
or informal.

TYPES OF COMMUNICATION

1. Formal Type. In this type of communication, the information is transmitted with the
use of predefined channels or routes. It is very common in educational settings,
workplace and business meetings. Examples of this type are as follows: classroom
lectures, speeches and meeting presentations.
5
 2. Informal Type. It is sharing of information with friends or peers which has no
foundation like formal communication. Some examples of this type of
communication are casual phone or dinner table conversations.

There are several types of oral communication activities that might be incorporated
into curricula in many fields of study. Most are conducive to either formal or informal
situations. Some are realistically possible only in smaller classes or recitations during
discussion, while others are appropriate for large lectures as well.

Six Types of Oral Communication Activities

1. One-on-One Speaking (Student-Student or Student-Teacher): This is

where students are asked to discuss or explain some question or problem with
the person next to them to formal student conferences with their instructor. It is
speaking with one person or a speaker addressing all as one.

2. Small Group or Team Based Oral Work: This type is a smaller-scale

setting of discussion, deliberation and problem solving. Large lectures and
smaller classes allow levels of participation not possible in larger groups.

3. Full Class Discussions (Teacher or Student Led): This type is typically

less agonistic, argument-based, and competitive than debate and deliberation
but still dialogical in character. These often times have the quality of creating
an atmosphere of collective, out-loud thinking about some question, idea,
problem, text, event or artifact. This is a good way to encourage active
learning.

4. In-Class Debates and Deliberations: Debates typically involve participants

who argue one side throughout, while deliberation allows for movement by
individuals within the process. This type can be applied to issues of many
kinds, from disputed scientific facts to theories, policy questions, the meaning
of a text, or the quality of an artistic production. A structure consideration of
some issue from two or more points of view.

5. Speeches and Presentations: Classically, this type of oral communication

activity is the stand-up podium speech delivered by an individual from an
outline or script. It also includes group presentations or impromptu speaking. It
has a strong element of monologue, but dialogue can be built with question
and answer or discussion with the audience afterward.

6. Oral Examinations: It ranges from one oral question to written exam to an

oral defense of a written answer or paper to an entirely oral quiz or
examination. This is difficult with very large groups, but an excellent way to
determine the depth and range of student knowledge and to stimulate high
levels of preparation.
