LESSON PROPER: ORAL COMMUNICATION
Human society CANNOT function WITHOUT COMMUNICATION.
Society exists and grows with every communication activity

between and among persons within that society. We are social
beings who interact with one another all the time.
Communication plays a vital role in our existence.
Even in the simplest form of self- expression, communication is essential in our lives as we
tell others about ourselves and even as we exchange information, thoughts and feelings
and create relationships with other people. We communicate from the moment we were
born.
Man needs to communicate to understand, live, grow, and survive. So, if communication
is so important to us, then what is communication?
It has been said that “PEOPLE CANNOT NOT COMMUNICATE”. We engage in

conversations, dialogues, interviews, committee meetings, group discussions, public
speaking and organizational or cultural interchanges. Therefore, WE ARE ALL
COMMUNICATORS.
But the question is, ARE WE GOOD COMMUNICATORS?
Admittedly, all of us are born with the ability to speak, we have the necessary speech
organs, We have the capacity to learn language. And yet, just because we can run does
not mean we can join a marathon anytime we like. Just as we need to prepare before
running a marathon, we have to prepare before communicating with anyone. We have
to learn about COMMUNICATION, its concepts, process, and elements. We have to learn
the effective and ineffective ways of communicating. Most of all, we have to practice,
practice, and practice!
WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?
• Communication is what connects us human beings.

• Communication is an art, a process, a science, and a technique.
• It involves a Speaker imparting ideas, concepts, and data to a group of Listeners
or audience.
• Webster defines communication as a process by which information is exchanged
between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs or behaviour.
• Monroe et al. (1982) described it as the sharing of experiences publicly for the
common good.
• Its functions are to achieve understanding or shared meaning and to persuade,
inform, entertain and manage relationships.

8
• Comes from the Latin term “communis” which means to share and inform ideas,
feelings, etc. The Latin word ‘communis’, which means ‘commons’. To be
common means “to come together” or “to commune”- “to share something in
common”.
• Communication is a two-way process of reaching mutual understanding, in which
participants not only exchange information but also create and share meaning
within and across channels, contexts, media, and cultures.
• It is a dynamic interactive process that involves the effective transmission of facts,
ideas, thoughts, feelings and values.
• It is also symbolic because it involves not only words but also symbols and gestures
that accompany the spoken words because symbolic action is not limited to
verbal communication.
• It is not passive and does not just happen. Individuals actively and consciously
engage in communication to develop information and understanding required
for effective group functioning.
Almost everything that each of you has done or encountered today may be considered
communication.
Why study communication?
• To understand ourselves as social being

• To understand ourselves as a person
• To preserve cultural values
• To gain professional competence.
OBJECTIVES &PURPOSE OF COMMUNICATION
• To give and receive information

• To provide advice
• To educate and train customer
• To issue orders and instruction
• To persuade target audience
• To receive suggestion
• To motivate and to integrate
• To relate and to entertain
How will you describe the nature and process of communication?
NATURE OF COMMUNICATION
1. Communication is a process. Communication as a process means it is a step by step

activity and it is essentially a two-way process that involves the active participation of
both the sender and receiver.
2. Communication is much more of an ART than a science. There is no right or wrong way
to communicate – no set of absolute rules to be followed but there are underlying
principles to guide us into effective communication.

9
3. Communication has a sender and receiver. Communication occurs between two or

more people acting as the speaker or the receiver of the message.
4. Communication is verbal or non-verbal. Communication is not all about sending or

receiving facts in words. It does involve ideas and emotions that are expressed through
signs, symbols and gestures.
5. Communication is inevitable. This notion tells us that communication is everywhere.

Thus, it is impossible to not communicate. The dark clouds, the deep blue sea, the howling
dogs, your empty room or even the silence of the night, these are all communicating
and telling us something. Try discovering that yourself.
6. Communication is irreversible. This means that what you have said can never be
unsaid.
7. Communication is Unrepeatable. Unrepeatability means that an act of

communication can never be duplicated.
PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNICATION
✓ Communication is ✓ Communication is CONTINUOUS

TRANSACTIONAL ✓ Communication is UNAVOIDABLE
✓ Communication is COMPLEX
COMPETENT COMMUNICATORS ARE…
✓ Ethical ✓ RESPONSIBLE
Now, HOW ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION?
PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION
➢ Developing the idea

➢ Encoding
➢ Developing the message
➢ Selecting the medium
➢ Transmitting the message
➢ Receiving the message
➢ Decoding
➢ Providing the feedback
How do you develop your ideas in a communication process?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Developing the idea.
In the first step, the speaker develops or conceptualizes an idea to be sent.
Example: Lea loves Ash, her suitor as a brother.

10
What are the perceivable forms we can use in the communication process?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Encoding. It is everything that goes inside the brain of an individual.
Example: She thinks of ways to tell him personally.
Which do you think is the best form of message to be transmitted to the receiver? Why?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Developing the Message. After encoding, the sender gets a message that can be
transmitted to the receiver.
Example: She wants to tell him “I love you as a brother”
What medium do you prefer to use in most of your communication activities? Why?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Selecting the Medium. Medium is the channel or means of transmitting the message to
the receiver.
Example: She decides to talk to him personally.
Share how you transmit your ideas in the communication process.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Transmitting the Message. In this step, the sender actually transmits the message through
chosen medium. In the communication cycle, the tasks of the sender end with the
transmission of the message.
Example: She tells him “Ash, I love you as a brother”.
Which among the forms of receiving message is mostly used in your day to day
communication?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________

11
Receiving the Message. This stage simply involves the reception of sender’s message by
the receiver. The message can be received in the form of hearing, seeing, feeling and so
on.
Example: Ash hears all the words of Lea.
What is the role of “decoding” in the communication process? How can it be helpful for
both the speaker and the listener?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
DECODING. Decoding is the receiver’s interpretation of the sender’s message. Here, the
receiver converts the message into thoughts and tries to analyse and understand it.
Example: Ash analyses the words of Lea and feel heartbroken.
Is it important to provide feedback at all times? Why? Why not?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Providing Feedback. It ensures that the receiver has correctly understood the message.
Example: He turns speechless and tears fall from his eyes.
It’s now time for you to provide your own example. Follow the process above in
developing your examples from steps 1 to step 8.

MODELS OF COMMUNICATION
• A model is a graphic representation designed to explain the way a variable works.

It is a pattern, a plan, representation or description to show the structure or
workings of an object, system and concept.
Many authors and researchers have come up with their own models based on what they
want to emphasize as being an important component of communication. These
communication models are conceptual models.
• Conceptual models are structures that simplify the explanation of how something
or how a system works.
Among the models, we will only tackle 3 standard models of communication
1. Linear Model of Communication (Transmission Model)
The linear model was the first kind of model that experts have made to understand the
process of communication. It has improved and has been updated over the years. The
following are the remarkable characteristics of the linear model:
• Unidirectional
• Simple
• Persuasion not Mutual understanding.
The first three characteristics emphasize the lack of feedback in this model which has
been criticized as a missing element in the communication process
• Values psychological over social effects: This model focuses more on the
psychological effects (such as understanding the messages) rather than the social
effects (like building the relationship among communicators).
The Shannon-Weaver model (1949), also known as the transmission model and the
mother of all communication models is one best example of a one-way or linear process
of communication consisting of five elements which have been criticized for missing one
element in the communication process, feedback.

13
Think of a scenario applying and reflecting this linear model of communication. Illustrate
it using the same model.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
The Shannon-Weaver Model acknowledges only 5 elements in the linear process and
noise is a kind of disturbance coming from people, the environment, internal knowledge,
beliefs, etc. which hinders the receiver from getting and understanding the message.
This is often called the Telephone Model because it is based on the experience of having
the message interfered with by “noise” from the telephone switchboard back in 1940s.
• Source: producer of message

• Transmitter: encoder of message into signals
• Channel: signals adapted for transmission
• Receiver: decoder of message from the signal
• Destination: to whom the message is intended
2. Transactional Communication Model
The Transactional Model of Communication illustrates how the sender and receiver take
turns in conveying and receiving messages and are called as “communicators.” The
sender and receiver’s roles are reversed each time sending and receiving messages
occur at the same time. Since both sender and receiver are necessary to keep the
communication alive in Transactional Model, the communicators are also
interdependent to each other. Thus, if the receiver is not listening to the sender,
Transactional Communication is not possible.
Frank Dance (1967) introduced the Helix model that best illustrates the Transactional
Model by showing how the development of communication is based on previous
experiences or behaviors as well as how the knowledge-base of a person deepens and
expands throughout life. He emphasized, “that communication while moving forward is

15
at the same time coming back to itself and being affected by its past behavior…”
Dance’s model also shows how the external and internal factors that are learned
throughout life influence the person’s understanding of a message.
The characteristics of Transactional Model
1. Communication evolves from the very first day (origin) until the existing moment.
2. Communication is largely dependent on its past.
3. Concept of time.
4. Communication process is the product of what we learned. .
How does the second model of communication look to you? Do you think the second
model is better than the first model? Why or why not?

3. Interactive Communication Model
• This model, also known as the convergence model or the Schramm Model of
Communication emphasizes the coding and decoding elements of the process
which also focuses on the message exchanges between the sender and receiver
and vice versa. Rather than linear or a one-way process, communication is a two-
way street, with a sender and a receiver.
• Wilbur Schramm introduced the interactive communication model where he
emphasized the need for the source to encode the message as well as for the
receiver to decode the message.
• Wilbur Schramm is considered the Father of Mass Communication. He came up
with five models, but the Schramm Model (1995) we are concerned with is the
concept that explains why communication breakdown occurs. Schramm asserts
that communication can take place IF AND ONLY IF there is an overlap between
the Field of Experience of the Speaker and the Field of Experience of the Listener.
The following elements are included in this model of Communication:
1. Sender (transmitter) sends the message

2. Encoder converts the message into codes before sending
3. Decoder gets the encoded message then converts it into the language
understandable by the receiver
4. Interpreter tries to understand and analyze the message. The message is
considered received after the interpretation is done and message is understood.
Interpreter and receiver are the same.
5. Receiver gets the message. Decoding and interpreting is also part of his/her role.
6. Message data sent by the sender and information that the receiver gets.
7. Feedback process where in receiver responds to the received message
8. Medium media or channel used to send the message.

17
9. Noise (interference disruptions) / interference disruptions during the process. This is

also created when the intended meaning sent by the sender is different from what
was interpreted by the receiver.
10. Field Experience of patterns which affect the communication process. This can be
from society, culture, situations, psychological or sociological events or
experiences of the sender and receiver.
Features of Interactive Communication Model
1. It has a never-ending process of communication and feedback where there is

roleswitching between the sender and the receiver as they continue the
exchange of messages.
2. Feedback is seen as an important part of this model to ensure that communication
takes place.
3. The field of experience affects the messages being exchanged.
4. It encourages interaction.
So those are the 3 standards models of communication. Let’s have the other models of
communication.
1. Aristotle’s Model – This illustrates communication at its simplest form. The 1 st and
earliest model is that of Aristotle, who was a teacher of Rhetoric and even put up
an academy to produce good speakers. Although Aristotle focused on the
speaker and the message, the most important part in his model is the SETTING
where the Listener is situated. It is the setting that dictates the Message.
The three settings in Aristotle’s time were Legal, Deliberative, and ceremonial. The
legal setting meant the courts where ordinary people defended themselves
(because there were no lawyers then). The deliberative setting meant the political
assemblies, the highest of which was the Roman Senate. The Ceremonial setting
meant the celebrations held when they won a war, when they lost a leader or had
a new one, and when they welcomed a visiting leader from another kingdom or
country. Such occasions called for speeches of welcome, poems of tribute or of
eulogies, and poems of lament. Aristotle’s model was a speaker-centered
communication.

18
2. BERLO’S COMMUNICATION MODEL- as time passed, communication theorists or

rhetoricians (from the word rhetoric) as defined by Aristotle’s theory became less
concerned with the speaker or writer and was more concerned with types and
contents of actual messages. This led to the message-centered theories of
communication which could be used to describe both oral and written discourse.
The simplest and most influential message-centered model came from DAVID
BERLO (Gronbeck, et al 2007)
The David Berlo’s Model was useful for the post-World War II world of
communication for several reasons:
1. The idea of “source” was flexible enough to include mechanical electronic, or
other nonhuman generators of messages.
2. Message was made the central element, stressing the transmission of ideas.
3. The model recognized that receivers were important to communication for
they were the targets; and
4. The notions of “encoding” and “decoding” emphasized the problems we all
have (psycholinguistically) in translating our thoughts into words or other
symbols and in deciphering the words or symbols of others into terms we can
understand.
The model was and is still popular. It does, however, tend to stress the
manipulation of the message-the encoding and decoding processes. It implies
that human communication is like machine communication; like signal sending in
telephone, television, computer, and radar system. It even seems to stress that
most problems in human communication can be solved by technical accuracy-
by choosing the “right symbols” preventing interference, and sending efficient
messages.
3. Eugene White’s Model. Eugene tells us that communication is circular and

continuous, without a beginning or end. This is why he made a cyclical model. He
also points out that although we can assume that communication begins with
thinking, communication can actually be observed from any point in the circle.

19
Eugene White contributed the concept of FEEDBACK to the field of

communication. Feedback is the perception by the speaker about the response
of the listener. The speaker can only receive feedback if the speaker is monitoring
the listener. The speaker will know what the listener’s response is only if he or she is
paying attention.
Those are the models of communication that will guide you in understanding the
elements of communication that will be discussed in the next lesson.
