Importance Of Oral Communication

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Situation Analysis In our day-to-day living, communication is very important, no matter what dialect you are using. People communicate to others by means and through different forms like using verbal and non-verbal manners to express thoughts, ideas, and emotions.

The way you are communicating with other is not just only through phone and letters, because nowadays, technology has been evolved and continues in evolving. And now, every people use technology to communicate with their loved-ones through with the use of different social media sites. Through with the help of communication, people can acquire, adapt and share knowledge to other people as well. As long as there is clarity and clearness in the communication

Brown also emphasized that your own language and the task that you are used to do will allow you as a student to see the relevance of the different classroom activities.
