    Study Notes

    Oral Communication - Grade 11

    • Speech Context: Refers to the situation, environment, and circumstances of communication.
    • Intrapersonal Communication: The speaker is both the sender and receiver. Messages involve the speaker's ideas and emotions, often using internal self-feedback. Examples include daydreaming, deciding on something, or critically evaluating a speaker/artwork.
    • Interpersonal Communication: Two or more people exchange information, feelings, and meaning through verbal and nonverbal messages. Dyadic communication involves two people; small group communication involves more than two people; public communication involves a single speaker and an audience; and mass media refers to large-scale information dissemination.
    • Speech Styles:
      • Intimate: Used in very close, personal relationships.
      • Casual: Everyday language among friends.
      • Consultative: Used in consultations (e.g., doctor-patient).
      • Formal: Used in formal settings where precise language is needed, such as classroom lectures.
      • Frozen: Constant language used in traditions and unchanging contexts.
    • Speech Acts: Different actions through communication (e.g., assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, declarative).
    • Communicative Strategies: Ability to use language effectively in social and cultural contexts, including word knowledge (linguistic competence), knowledge of social conventions (sociolinguistic competence), and conversation skills (discourse competence). Additional skills include understanding communication breakdowns (strategic competence).
    • Interpersonal Communication Process: Includes:
      • Nomination: Establishing a common topic for conversation.
      • Restriction: Limiting the conversation to a specific topic.
      • Turn-taking: Providing the opportunity to all participants to speak.
      • Topic control: Maintaining focus on a topic.
      • Topic shifting: Changing the conversation's focus to a new topic.
      • Repair: Addressing communication breakdowns or misunderstandings.
      • Termination: Bringing the conversation to a close.

    Speech Delivery

    • Speech according to delivery:
      • Reading from a manuscript: Prepared speech delivered word-for-word.
      • Memorized speech: Learned speech delivered word-for-word, requiring significant memorization.
      • Impromptu speech: Spontaneous speech delivered with little to no preparation.
      • Extemporaneous Speech: Prepared speech based on an outline, allowing for flexibility during delivery.
    • Speech according to purpose:
      • Expository/Informative: Explains or clarifies an idea.
      • Persuasive: Aims to influence the audience's opinions or actions.
      • Entertainment: Aims to amuse and entertain the audience.
    • Principles of Speech Writing: Select topics appropriate to the audience and occasion; analyze target audience needs and characteristics; source information effectively from multiple sources (e.g., interviews, observations, readings).
    • Speech delivery tips: Eye contact, appropriate facial expressions (not overly exaggerated), relaxed hand and body posture, audible voice, clarity of diction, pronunciation, and enunciation.

    Effective Speech Delivery

    • Tips for effective speech delivery: Direct eye contact, using pleasant facial expressions, relaxed hands and posture, speaking audibly with good pronunciation and enunciation, confident delivery.
    • Visual cues: Making appropriate facial expressions, and managing body language to appear confident and interested.
    • Avoid distracting mannerisms: Do not fidget with personal objects, wet lips repeatedly, crack knuckles, or make unusual faces.
