6. LITERATURE REVIEW (1/2)
⢠Oral communication is a process involving both
speakers and listeners, as well as productive skills and
receptive skills â Byrne (1986)
⢠Meaning is conveyed not merely through language but
also through bodily contact, physical proximity, bodily
posture, gesture, head nods, facial expression, eye
movement, and even appearance. â Revell (1979)
7. ⢠Byrne (1986), Nunan (1989) and Klepper (2003)
among others, suggest teachers to motivate
their students by providing opportunities for free
expression, meaningful input, exposure to the
language being learnt, reward, and right
correction, as well as showing the students to
âmake use of the little they knowâ.
