Components of Oral Language

Phonology- an element of oral language dealing with our pronunciation of the words and how our speech
organs move to produce the sound.
examples:
Plural words pronounced as:
[z] for words like cabs, bags, bars [s] for words like caps, backs, faiths
[əz] for words like buses, garages, matches Hard [th] words like though, then, these, that
Soft [th] words like thing, thank, thorn, thought Gh sounds as [f] like laugh, cough, elephant, photo

Vocabulary (Semantics)- the word we choose to use in talking to other people is one of the important
factors in our successful conversation and communication.
Examples:
• To call someone a lady means more than simply being female.
• A child could be called a child, kid, boy, girl, son, daughter.

Morphology- is focused on the smallest units of meaning within a word, as well as the rules about how
those words are formed including roots, suffixes, and prefixes. Correct usage of such will give you smooth
conversation with others.
Example: Using eco bag is one simple step to save earth because we can use it again
and again.
BETTER: Using eco bag is one simple step to save earth because we can reuse it
many times.

Grammar (Syntax). The rules of grammar help us decide the order we put words in
and which form of a word to use.
Examples:
I will go to the cinema after my work. I went to the cinema yesterday.
I excitedly went to the biggest cinema in town.

Pragmatics- require the understanding of the social use of language. This includes social norms regarding
conversational turn-taking, personal space, and appropriate behavior with peers and authority figures in a
variety of common social situations.
Example:
I heart you! - "heart" refers to an organ in our body. However, pragmatically,
"heart" in this sentence means "love"- to "heart" someone means you love him.

Multimedia means that computer information can be represented through audio, video, and animation in
addition to traditional media. It is a sequential or simultaneous use of a variety of media formats (people,
text, visual, motion, audio, and manipulative) in each presentation or self-study.

The word multimedia comes from two Latin roots, multi and media. Multi means several or many and
media means in the middle.

Basic Types of Multimedia

1. Text Materials - important components used in written explanation to deliver information in many
multimedia applications. They are characters used to create words, sentences, and paragraphs.
Example: Hypertext

2. Graphics/Photographs - digital representations of non-text information such as a drawing, chart, or

photograph. They gives ideas in the images with the help of memory and one of the oldest forms of media.
Example: JPEG

3. Sound/Audio - any spoken explanation that stimulates imagination and can be added and combined with
all types of media. Example: MP4

4. Video Presentations - clips or full videos that show information. They are a collection of moving pictures
combined with audio files. Example: MP4, MOV, AVI files

5. Forms of Animation - Flipping through a series of still images. It is a series of graphics that create an
illusion of motion to display pieces of information with moving or still images and easily transferable.
Example: Graphic Image File (GIF)

Advantages of Using Multimedia

1. User-friendly. It doesn’t take much energy out of the user in the sense that you can sit and watch the
presentation, read the text, and hear the audio.
2. Multisensorial. It uses a lot of the user’s senses while making use of multimedia.
For example, hearing, seeing, and talking.
3. Integrated and Interactive. All the different mediums are integrated through the
digitization process. Interactivity is heightened by the possibility of easy feedback.
4. Flexible. Being digital, this media can easily be changed to fit different situations and audiences.
5. Used for a wide variety of audiences. It can be used by various audiences ranging from one person to a
whole group.

Disadvantages of Using Multimedia

1. Information overload. Because it is so easy to use, it can contain too much information.
2. It takes time to compile. Even though it is flexible, it takes time to put the original draft together.
3. It can be expensive. Multimedia makes use of a wide range of resources, which can cost you a large
amount of money.
4. Too much makes it impractical. Large files like video and audio need large storage. Adding too much can
mean that you have to use a computer with huge storage capacity to store the files.

2. Reciting a memorized text 4. Speaking Extemporaneously

Basic Factors of Delivery

stage that must have proper motivation. There should be reason for every movement. Avoid mannerisms.
2. Posture. It refers to the way a speaker stands. Balance the weight of body on both
feet.
3. Loudness. Speak loud enough to be heard. Pay attention to the people at the last
row and ensure that they can hear the speech.

A fact is a specific detail that can be proven as true based on objective evidence. Objective proof can be one
or more of the following: physical evidence, an eyewitness account, or the result of an accepted scientific
method.
Example:
A. COVID-19 is a new virus which has spread quickly to many countries around the world.
- This statement is a fact based on the number of cases recorded around the
world which has greatly affected how people live.
B. Dry cough, fever and tiredness are the most common symptoms of COVID – 19.
- Based on the triage of the spread of COVID – 19 virus, dry cough, fever and tiredness are the most
common symptoms, although other may have it without showing symptoms.

Example:
A. COVID – 19 affect only old people.
