ORAL COMMUNICATION

(Finals)

Communication involves verbal and non-verbal cues. Verbal cues include

auditory language like sound and words in order to deliver or exchange information. It is
the superficial part of communication because it is more obvious than non- verbal cues.
Non-verbal cues are your total presentation and self-expression apart from spoken words.
You will miss some non-verbal cues when you are not in a face- to face interaction like
on the phone or using the Messenger. How do verbal and non-verbal cues impact our
communication? Imagine the following scenarios:

1. Your superior enters the office with an angry look.

2. The Schools Division Superintendent arrives and surprises everybody in school.

3. Your best friend avoids you the whole day.

4. Pinned down for a 3-hour university orientation.

Which among the above scenarios will elicit the most reactions? Darlene Price,
author of Well Said! Presentations and Conversations That Get Results, said that verbal
cues are more impactful especially when it involves attitudes and behavior. She further
explained that when verbal and non-verbal cues disagree, you ought to believe the non-
verbal cues.

A good communicator, whether talking to a child, in front of an audience, or

behind the desk, has to be only keen to verbal and non-verbal cues. More importantly, his
expressions and words have to agree.

CONCEPT PAPER DEFINED

A concept paper is a summary document of a project proposal that tells what the project is all
about, the reasons for conducting the project and how it will be carried out. This paper also
provides an overview of the project, and help funding agencies eliminate proposals that are
likely to be disapproved. It has several uses:

 Serves a foundation of the full proposal

 Determines whether the project is feasible or not

 Obtains informal feedback on the ideas prior to preparing the full proposal.

 Helps in addressing social issues which plague our society.
