Oral communication is basic to all human activity- - to individual<br />
development, to interpersonal activity and to the functioning of all political,<br />
business, economic , cultural and social institutions. Speech<br />
communication examines communication behavior with the goal of<br />
understanding the structure, patterns, and effects of human<br />
communication and of facilitating a higher quality of communication<br />
effectiveness both for individuals and for society. It seeks to improve<br />
individual abilities for public speaking, handling informal conversations,<br />
creating and maintaining healthy relationships, interacting with individuals<br />
from other cultures, solving problems in groups and reaching sound<br />
decisions, managing the communication dynamics of an organization<br />
and becoming effective producers and consumers of informative,<br />
persuasive and artistic messages. The mission of this department is to<br />
effectively teach these skills.<br />
