Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

THE ROLES OF ORAL
COMMUNICATION
Prepared by:
Stephanie Larry Daniel
M.Ed (Management&Leadership)
B.Ed (TESL)
2. LESSON OVERVIEW:
Essentials of communication
Goals of communication
Preparing to communicate orally
The importance of listening in oral
communication
Recall listening
Empathic listening
4. ➜Communication is the creation or exchange of thoughts,
information, facts, ideas, viewpoints, emotions and
understanding between two or more persons (senders and
receivers).
➜In short, it is the process of sending and receiving
messages to bring about mutual understanding and desired
action.
➜Shared understanding is the key to effective
communication.
➜Communication is essential in building and maintaining
relationship in the workplace.
Communication Defined
5. ➜Oral communication is the sharing of information between
individuals by using speech.
➜In other words, it is the process of expressing information or
ideas by word of mouth (i.e. spoken communication).
➜ It includes individuals conversing with each other, be it direct
conversation (face to face conversation) or telephonic
conversation, speeches, presentations, discussions,
counselling, meetings, interview, etc.
➜Whether to use oral communication is a decision we all make
frequently in the course of a workday. As such, we must be
able to identify the situations in which oral communication is
the most appropriate one to use.
Oral Communication
6. • The receiver is not particularly interested in receiving the message. Oral
communication provides more opportunity for getting and keeping interest
and attention.
• It is important to get feedback from the receiver.
• The receiver is too busy or preoccupied to read. Oral communication
provides more opportunity to get attention.
• The sender wants to persuade or convince as oral communication provides
more flexibility, opportunity for emphasis, chance to listen and opportunity to
remove resistance and change attitudes.
• When discussion of the issue is needed. A complicated subject frequently
requires discussion to be sure of understanding.
• When the receiver prefers one-to-one or face-to-face contact.
USE ORAL COMMUNICATION WHEN:
8. i. To inform – you are providing information for use in
decision making
ii. To request for a specific action by the receiver
iii. To instruct – to give command and instructions, which
flow from top to the lower level, in order to enable them
to accomplish their tasks
iv. To persuade – to reinforce or change a receiver’s
belief about a topic and possibly, act on the belief
v. To build relationships – some messages you send
may have the simple goal of building goodwill between
you and the receiver
10. 1. Determine the overall purpose
• There are many reasons for giving a
presentation including to inform, educate,
entertain, inspire and convince.
• Once you know the purpose of your
presentation you can determine the structure,
topics and method of delivery that will best
achieve your purpose.
11. 2. Select and limit the subject
• It may seem an obvious thing to do, but before you start
writing your presentation you must determine what
precisely your topic will be and what topic area you plan to
address.
• Once this is clear you can begin scripting your
presentation.
• Occasionally you will find that your topic is actually too
large or complex for the time available and you may have
to go back and review the specific topic you wish to
address.
• Consider personal experience and interest – it is difficult
to create interest in an audience if you are bored by the
topic or lack the necessary experience to address it.
12. 3. Analyze the audience and the situation
• Every audience is different and in order to ensure
success you should always consider what your
potential audience will be like and what their
expectations will be.
• Failure to address the needs, attitudes and level of
interest and understanding of an audience can hinder
your presentation.
• If you do not have personal knowledge of the potential
audience, try to contact someone who can give you
some idea as to the nature, attitudes and
expectations of your potential audience.
13. 4. Research and gather materials
• The main ideas of your speech need examples,
statistical support and quotations from experts for clarity
and proof.
a) Examples – specific instances that illustrate a larger
point. An example can be factual (something that really
happens) or hypothetical (something that is a composite
of real incidents or the speaker’s guess about a future
event)
b) Statistics – a collection of individual examples delivered
as raw numbers or averages. It gives more meaningful
when combined with comparisons.
c) Testimony – a direct quotation or paraphrase of
witnesses, experts or other informed people. It can make
the ideas more memorable or add credibility to your
persuasive appeal.
14. • Researching the topics involves collecting supporting
material for the specific purpose and main idea statements.
• Typical research tools for professional setting: library,
internet and interview.
a) Library – computerized and online catalog can run book
searches titles, authors, or subjects
b) Internet – A search engine is a program that selects
through an enormous index of webpages for key words or
phrases.
c) Interview – face-to-face, telephone, or internet
conversations with experts. The interview should clearly
define the purpose of interview prior to contacting potential
interviewees. Developing questions prior to interview so
you have something to show if the interviewee wants to
know the questions in advance – the question will also
keep the interview on tract and prevent wasted time.
15. 5. Create speech outline
• There are several types of speech outlines commonly
used by speakers. However, all of them are organized
into an opening, body and conclusion.
• Below is an illustration of a very basic speech outline:
16. 6. Select appropriate presentation aids
• Most speakers will find sound (audio) and sight
(visual) most useful.
• Visual can spark interest, add variety, increase
comprehension and retention of material and help to
hold an audience’s attention.
• It should always be simple, clear and pertinent
(relevant).
• The content and the placement of visual aids within
the presentation must be planned carefully.
• Determine the type of visual aid will best emphasize,
enhance and clarify the message.
17. 7. Practice before you deliver it
• It is helpful to rehearse your presentations many times
before delivering the presentation to the audience.
• The best way to do so is to practice the presentation
from beginning to end (from introduction to concluding
statement), following the outline and incorporating
visual aids (if any).
19. Understanding is the KEY to communication.
Understanding requires active listening.
20.
21. 1. Active listening works
➜Takes place when a listener focuses his or her full
attention on the speaker, avoids interrupting the
speaker, remains nonjudgmental and shows genuine
interest in the speaker
➜Full attention allows the listener to understand what’s
being implied and read nonverbal clues such as body
language and facial expressions that may contradict
verbal words
➜An open, inviting posture and small verbal comments
such as “yes” or “I understand” can help uncover the root
of most problems.
The Importance of Listening
22. 2. Conflict resolution
➜An ability to listen effectively can turn a disruptive
situation into an opportunity for growth
➜A way of showing true concern for the speaker and
their situation
➜This will increase interpersonal bonding, forming a
basis for commitment and trust – can help to calm
the situation, relieve negative feelings and provide
opportunity for real problem solving to begin.
23. 3. Motivation and productivity
➜Produce unintended results that ultimately benefit both the
listener and speaker
➜The better a manager understands his employees the
more effectively he can motivate employees – this makes
it easier for a manager to choose appropriate rewards
such as praise, additional responsibilities, etc.
4. Perception management
➜Effective listening can prevent misunderstandings,
ensure a first encounter creates a positive impression
and help maintain an organization’s reputation.
➜It can create efficient working relationships that not only
saves both side valuable time but can have potentially
significant benefits
24. ➜Involves a person’s ability to correctly interpret and
remember the content of another person’s message
➜Includes 4 processes:
i. Receiving – hear and process the message that another
communicates
ii. Attending – involves a listener’s ability to focus on the
message and direct his or her attention toward it without
distraction
iii. Assigning meaning – assigning an interpretation to it
iv. Remembering – the ability to store and recall the major
themes of a conversation for use in later decision making
Recall Listening
25. ➜ Involves an attitude of acceptance for what others have
to say, especially responding positively to emotions,
and providing feedback that makes people feel as if their
concern have been addressed.
i. An attitude of acceptance
• Learning to take time to fully understand other points of
view
• Accept what others have to say, especially responding
positively to emotions
• Avoid the following thought patterns:
Quick assumptions and inferences
Simplistic evaluations
Stereotyping other’s appearance, thoughts or
actions
Empathic Listening
26. ii. Providing feedback
• Indicates acceptance of the other person involved
• Listeners should provide responses that confirm or reject others.
• It includes:
Confirmation – a response that does 2 things: (1) accepts the
content of the conversation, and (2) accepts the experience or
emotion of the person. It contributes to a person’s feeling of
self-worth.
Rejection – acknowledging the validity of the emotions
expressed but denies the content of the communication
(negative feedback such as disagreeing or suggesting an
alternative course of action).
Disconfirmation – denies a person’s experiences or feelings,
and consequently, the other’s feeling of self-worth. It is
devastating to a person’s view of self and destructive to
productive relationship as it indicates lack of emphatic listening.
27. Disconfirmation includes:
Definitions and Examples of Disconfirmation
Avoiding
involvement
Verbal or nonverbal distancing tactics,
including avoiding eye contact, turning
away, walking away, etc.
Tangential (indirect) or
irrelevant remarks
Verbal comments that are disconnected
from or only minimally connected to the
first person’s remarks: “The next agenda
item is the conference.”
Imperviousness
(inflexibility/resistance)
Discrediting others’ feelings: “You don’t
feel that way” (flat denial) or “You can’t
possibly believe that.” (challenging the
right)
Disqualification Direct disparagement (criticism) of a
speaker: “That wasn’t a smart thing to do.”
