ENG-3 SPEECH AND ORAL COMMUNICATION
Final Examination
Instructions: Please answer the following questions below briefly.
1. Why is communication important?
Being able to communicate effectively is perhaps the most important of all life skills.
It is what enables us to pass information to other people, and to understand what is
said to us. Communication brings people together, closer to each other. It bridges the
gap between individuals and groups through flow of information and understanding
between them. Information is the most vital aspect for communication. Thus, helps
understand people better removing misunderstanding and creating clarity of thoughts
and expression and it also educates people.
2. Why is pronunciation important?
Pronunciation is vital to proper communication because the incorrect use of
pronunciation inevitably leads to the message being misunderstood by the recipient.
Without correct pronunciation, the vocabulary that you know will be less effective
when communicating. It is always better to know fewer words and pronounce them
well than to know a lot of words and pronounce them badly. Bad pronunciation can
lead to misunderstandings that may cause mishaps.
3. What is the nature of language and its role in human communication?
Language is a vital part of human connection. Although all species have their ways of
communicating, humans are the only ones that have mastered cognitive language
communication. Language allows us to share our ideas, thoughts, and feelings with
others. Language is what makes us human. It is how people communicate. By
learning a language, it means you have mastered a complex system of words,
structure, and grammar to effectively communicate with others. language is important
for personal communication. Whether it’s being able to talk to your friends, your
partner, or your family, having a shared language is necessary for these types of
interactions. To most people, language comes naturally. We learn how to
communicate even before we can talk and as we grow older, we find ways to
manipulate language to truly convey what we want to say with words and complex
sentences. Of course, not all communication is through language, but mastering a
language certainly helps speed up the process. This is one of the many reasons why
language is important. Language helps us express our feelings and thoughts — this is
unique to our species because it is a way to express unique ideas and customs within
different cultures and societies. Language helps preserve cultures, but it also allows
us to learn about others and spread ideas quickly.
4. What are the elements and functions of verbal and non-verbal communication?
Verbal Communication
Allona Zyra G. Cambronero
Oral communication such as talking to oneself, dialogue, discussion between
two people, telephone calls.
Visual communication such as maps, graphic, traffic signals, advertisement
Written communication such as memos, letters reports, papers.
Electronic which is communication facilitated by an interface with a
computer, modem, telephone fax, E-mail
Non-Verbal Communication
It is a fundamental human interaction where speech alone is unable to deal
with it. It is communication that can occur without words at all. The sender
has, at least, four main sets of physical non-verbal cues: face, eyes, body, and
voice.
The facial expression includes frowning, smiling and grimacing.
The eyes can signal by direction of gaze.
The body offers posture positions of arms and legs and distancing.
Voice includes tone and speech rhythm.
5. In the discussions we had this semester, which topic/s do you find most relevant?
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Most of the times when communicating we are misunderstood and the
message that we are trying to convey is not understood properly by the
receiver that’s why effective communication between two or more individuals
in which the intended message is efficiently delivered, received, and
understood stated to be powerful when all of the parties (sender and receiver)
in the conversation, assign similar meanings to the message and concentrate
cautiously on what all had been said, and make the sender experience heard
and understood. Effective communication is about more than simply replacing
information. It’s approximately knowledge of the emotion and intentions at
the back of the information. As nicely as being capable of actually bring a
message, you want to additionally concentrate in a manner that gains the full
meaning of what’s being stated and makes the other person experience heard
and understood. Effective communication sounds love it should be instinctive.
But all too often, while we attempt to speak with others something goes
astray. We say one thing, the other person hears something else, and
misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue. This can cause issues for
your home, school, and work relationships.
