Authorized by
Polk County Public Schools.
Oral communication in the 21st century includes verbal and nonverbal communication. An effective oral communicator can speak with clarity and precision in formal and informal contexts. Effective communicators exhibit four core sub-competencies: use stories to communicate ideas; they are aware of their audience and use the appropriate tone and word choice. They are also active listeners who can "hear" both what is said and what is not said and can use body language effectively.
