ORAL COMUNICATION
ADVENTAGE / DISVENTAGE
Disadvantages
The contents of oral communication are unstable. These types of communications are difficult to maintain over time due to their transience. The contents are valid only during the sender-receiver interaction. At the end, the contents are no longer valid.
They are not recommended in commercial and legal matters. In these cases, the message needs to remain valid over time, a condition that does not guarantee oral communication.
Misunderstandings may appear during oral communication. This is because it is less detailed than other types of communication.
Advantage
Oral communication is interpersonal. For that reason, both the level of understanding and transparency are high.
It is characterized by having rapid and spontaneous feedback. Consequently, quick decisions can be made.
There is no stiffness. This allows for greater flexibility in decision making. These decisions may change throughout the exchange of information.
Oral communication is effective in solving sudden problems. Its simplicity, speed and maneuverability allow approaches to be evaluated and these solutions to be implemented quickly.
Using oral communication saves time, money, and effort. Therefore, it is the type of communication that is used preferentially.
This type of communication generates well-being and pleasure. And it encourages teamwork and the exchange of information. It also increases group energy in work teams.
TYPES OF COMUNICATION
Spontaneous oral communication
Spontaneous oral communication is informal. By excellence, the representative expression of this type of communication is conversation.
Planned oral communication
Planned oral communication is one that responds to previously outlined planning. Such planning includes predesigned themes or structure, guidelines, and any resources that help maintain communication within certain levels.
Elements of oral communication
Message
The message is the information that circulates between the sender and the receiver. This message, like all communication elements, is organized, structured and shaped according to the issuer's intentions. It is also selective and adapted to the communication needs of both the sender and the receiver.
Feedback
Feedback is the loop that connects the receiver to the sender in the communication process. Through this, the sender finds out if your message was received, and ensures that the receiver has understood it as it was intended.
Receiver
In oral communication, the recipient is the one to whom the message is addressed. Also called a decoder or listener. It is he who receives it, understands it, interprets it and tries to perceive its meaning in the way in which it was transmitted by the sender. Generally, the process is carried out in a common environment and on the same terms for both.
Transmitter
The issuer is the party in charge of generating the communication message or event during the oral communication process. This, also known as sender or encoder, conceives the message for the purpose of informing, influencing, persuading, changing attitudes, behaviors or opinions of the recipients of the text.
Code
The code refers to the type of linguistic code (language) used by the issuer. This code must be common to both the sender and the receiver. As it is not, the communication process is interrupted, since the message does not reach its destination.
The oral communication is one type of interaction in which a message is transmitted between two or more people using for this the natural language code and the voice carrier. Orality involves the production and transmission of messages through the organs of speech: lips, teeth, alveolar region, palate, veil, uvula, glottis and tongue.
Natural ability
In oral communication, the production of messages requires the intervention of the lungs and vocal cords for the emission of sounds.
Bidirectionality
All oral communication needs at least one sender (or encoder) and one receiver (or decoder). Generally, in the process both interspersed roles taking turns to fill these positions. This differentiates it from other forms that are clearly unidirectional.
Fleeting character
In oral communication, both sender and receiver need to occupy the same temporal position at the time of the communicative act.
Informal context
Due to the transience of their character, in most cases, conversations cannot be verified as long as they leave no records.
That is why they are associated with rather informal contexts. Therefore, among other implications, oral communication is not used very often in formal circumstances such as in legal settings.
