CHAPTER 1

PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The word communication is derived from the Latin terms cum

munis [to make common] and communicate [to share]. Hence,

communication is defined as the exchange of information,

thoughts, ideas, feeling and the like. Because of its

complexity, scholars and experts cast various definitions of

communication. Communication is any process in which people

share information, ideas, and feelings to construct meaning,

establish relations and build understanding (Griffin, 2006).

Oral communication skills are fundamental to the development

of literacy and essential for thinking and learning. Through

talk, students not only communicate information but also explore

and come to understand ideas and concepts; identify and solve

problems; organize their experience and knowledge; and express

and clarify their thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Listening

and speaking skills are essential for social interaction at

home, at school, and in the community (Morales et al., 2017). To

develop their oral communication skills, students need numerous

opportunities to listen and to talk about a range of

subjects,

This chapter contains several readings and sources of

information that are very relevant to the present study. It

contains related concept and ideas that established the claim

why the study is to be conducted.

Foreign Literature

Generally, communication can be defined as a process of

exchanging information, from the person giving the information

through verbal and non-verbal methods, to the person receiving

the information. Oral communication skills will also be at a

premium in the future. As the Information Age progresses, much

of students’ "personal, social, and professional success will

depend on their speaking and listening skills. Our new literacy

will require instruction in oral communication" (Martin, 1987).

Students will need to be able to effectively communicate with an

increasing number of audiences due to site-based decision making
