A. Formal Communication
 Refers to the flow of official information through proper, predefined channels
and routes. The flow of information is controlled and needs deliberate effort to be
properly communicated.

organization, which funnel down to lower level employees.

6 Broad Types of Oral Communication Activities

1. One-on-one speaking. Can range from moments punctuating a lecture, 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.
2. Small Group or Team-Based Oral Work. Smaller-scale settings for discussion,
deliberation, and problem solving. Appropriate for both large lectures and smaller
classes and allows levels of participation not possible in larger groups.
3. Full Class Discussions. Typically less agnostic, argument-based, and competitive
than debate and deliberation but still dialogic in character. Often times has the quality
of creating an atmosphere of collective, out-loud thinking about some question, idea,
problem, text, event, or artefact. Like deliberation and debate, a good way to encourage
active learning.
4. Debates and Deliberations. A structured consideration of some issue from two or
more points of view. Debates involve participants who argue one side throughout, while
Deliberation allows for movement by individuals within the process.
5. Speeches and Presentations. Classically, the stand-up podium speech delivered
by an individual from an outline or script. It also includes group presentations or
impromptu speaking. A strong element of monologue, but dialogue can be built in with
question and answer or discussion with the audience afterwards.
6. Oral Examinations. It can take place in the instructor’s office, in small groups, or
before a whole class. It range from one oral question on an otherwise written exam to an
oral defense of a written answer or paper to an entirely oral quiz or examination.
