Producing and responding to oral communication |
Oral communication in schools and colleges
As a student, you may be asked to take part in various types of activities where oral communication skills are important.Group activities
Many tutors like to ask students to work together on projects or activities. For example, you may be asked to prepare a project for a subject that requires some research. Rather than each person doing all of the research alone, you can work as a group to gather information together. To do this effectively, however, you must be able to communicate well in a group situation.
Group discussions
When you’re discussing topics in class, you may be asked to work in groups. For example, your tutor may give you a topic to discuss, and ask the group to come up with some conclusions. Alternatively, you may be asked to discuss a problem in the group, and come up with some solutions. Again, being able to communicate well in a group situation is going to be of benefit to you.
