After teaching a course in oral communication for many years, I noticed some characteristics of good communication. These ideas were reinforced by what they say homiletics courses I took and treaties on the subject I read. So I would suggest what we call Here "The Seven Laws of oral communication." These ideas are fundamental principles of communication theory. The transfer as was present to my students. The listener keeps your attention and retain information better when these laws are observed.
THE LAW OF UNITY : Consists of the human mind tries to find the common denominator of all this in a conversation, speech or presentation. The listener gets the unit by asking the question "what do we mean today?" Or "what he said so." And the same person responds by saying "we talked about such a thing ", trying to put it in a word or thought. This natural search of the human mind is reflected in the unit that holds a book, a movie, a painting, a symphony and a poem. The sermons that have many ideas that go in all directions, no unit.
LAW ORDER : Because the unit is given over a period of time, during that time the person receives information. The order is that the information reaches the listener's mind as needed. Communication is ordered when the listener hears ideas arrive on the time that he would make more sense. After a piece of information is the next where it belongs. That means showing the listener as the information we give you now is connected to the information you previously gave him. Order implies repetition to show how the pieces fit he can not join alone. The order is on the major points, support material and the issuance of ideas.
THE LAW OF PROGRESS : Good communication is going somewhere. Since the introduction are known to be a starting point, an intermediate material and a final. It's not like saying goodbye visit again and again, only to turn to fire. It is rather a story that has an address come sooner or later, because that was his goal. Good communication is a goal. Not just stop at 11:45, is to meet its goal properly.

THE LAW OF RELEVANCE : Good communication also has all the time in mind for the listener. "What does this mean for me?". If the listener does not feel trapped from the ears to flap will end up listening as one listens to rain. That means their needs, conflicts, temptations and weaknesses are an important part of communication. How is this done? Think of your own weakness and will have great material to be relevant.
LAW CLARITY: Good communication is also clear. It strives to explain the idea as if it were a conversation in which I am trying to make myself understood. Is to avoid ambiguity, in repeated if necessary and to paraphrase the point to make myself understood. No expert in something is entitled to be obscure, confusing and difficult. If you do not choose to make the effort required clarity, will soon be the only hearing what you say.
FIRST LAW : He says the first 25 words are crucial to suggest that he will talk and grab attention the listener. This law determines the tone of our introduction making it memorable, relevant and makes the former is well presented.
LAW OF THE MOST RECENT : It says that the listener remembers the last thing I heard most. Therefore, this suggests that our conclusion must work very hard. Here we review the central idea of \u200b\u200bthe message, review the structure of the message and finally, we show with practical applications, the relevance of the message. All this should be reflected in the good sermon, so as to provide the listener keep the focus and retain what is said.
