Use the following ideas in the introduction of your paper entitled "Oral Communication in English: Forms, Functions, and Strategies in the Malaysian Context". Remember to use your own words as far as possible and add any other relevant ideas.
Being able to communicate orally in English in a wide variety of social contexts is one of the most important skills that we may have acquired or are in the process of acquiring. We may use this way of communicating through language in several forms depending upon our communication needs in particular situations. Intrapersonal communication occurs more or less continuously within ourselves, and we use it to think, to reason, to solve problems, etc. We also need to engage in interpersonal communication, small group communication, and public communication, among others, to satisfy our communication needs in a range of other situations/contexts.
Use the following headings to organise your paper:
1) Introduction
2) The Oral Communication Process
3) Interpersonal Communication
4) Small Group Communication
5) Public Communication
6) Conclusion
You may use suitable sub-headings to describe and explain concepts, functions, processes, skills and strategies that are relevant, especially under headings (2)-(5) above. Highlight the need to speak fluently in acceptable English and give examples where appropriate.
Most importantly, relate your argument to the Malaysian Context and use example from the Malaysian experience.
