Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A communication orientation sees public speaking as a chance to share a meaningful message with an audience, which is an effective approach. A conversation orientation views public speaking as a dialogue, which is not always appropriate for all contexts. A performance orientation focuses on the presentation and delivery of a speech, rather than the message itself. An interpersonal orientation emphasizes the relationship between the speaker and the audience, but may not prioritize the message being conveyed.
