What is an advantage of speaking your ideas rather than writing them?

An advantage with spoken communication is usually both parties communicate together at the same time. If there is a misunderstanding this can be verified immediately.


What is verbal communicaton?

Verbal communication is speaking, rather than writing or gesturing. Casual gestures, rather than sign languages, are clearly non-verbal, as are such aspects of "communication" as body language. But some people have argued that writing is, after all "verbal" in that it uses words. So is sign language (American Sign Language and Signed English are the major forms in the U.S.A.). Those who point out that writing is just as "verbal" as is speaking argue that to avoid ambiguity, speaking should be called "oral" communication, so that "verbal" can be used for any means of communicating with language. Still, we have the established references to "verbal" agreements and contracts and to "verbal" arguments, all of which which are simply not in writing, but are spoken. So it looks as though the term ""verbal" communication, meaning speech, is solidly entrenched.


Difference between memorandum report and business report?

Academic writing usually starts with a general description and history of the subject, details of any part of the subject which need to be resolved and an explanation of the current and future situation. It's purpose is more to inform and educate rather than to persuade. Business writing has to be persuasive. It often will use only the facts which support its own argument, omitting or downplaying negative factors. It will often use misdirection, supplying too much irrelevant information to deflect attention from known problems.

How can you demonstrate to employers that you have effective writing and speaking skills?

Ironically, you have gone part of the way to answering your own question. I suspect that what you really mean is how can you prove, rather than demonstrate, since by demonstrating your effectiveness at these two key skills, you will achieve your objective. A good way of proving key skills is to use them at every opportunity, for instance, when you give your employer a verbal message, back it up with a written summary. Try to develop the good habit of looking for feedback relating to your communication: is it as effective as you intend it to be? Is it ever ambiguous? Is it clear? Have you effectively summarised? Bear in mind that good communication skills need to be practised. The most important thing is ALWAYS engage brain before opening mouth.
