Feedback describes the situation when output from (or information about the result of)
an event or phenomenon in the past will influence an occurrence or occurrences of the
same (i.e. same defined) event / phenomenon (or the continuation / development of the
original phenomenon) in the present or future. When an event is part of a chain of cause-
and-effect that forms a circuit or loop, then the event is said to "feed back" into itself.

Accent is a combination of three main components: intonation (speech music), liaisons

(word connections), and pronunciation (the spoken sounds of vowels, consonants, and
combinations). Accents are influenced by a people’s geographical region of origin, their
age, social background and education, and whether they have moved away from their
home area. Nowadays it may also be influenced by external factors such radio or
television. Amongst speakers of English as an additional language accent is often
influenced by the pronunciation and intonation patterns of the first language. Contrary
to popular belief, grammar and accent are completely different, unrelated terms. Part of
the difference is that grammar and vocabulary are systematic and structured— the
letter of the language. Accent, on the other hand, is free form, intuitive, and creative—
more the spirit of the language.

Intonation is the most important and the most difficult to change. It is the "music", the
rhythm or a language. Get a free report on intonation here!

Liaisons, or linkages, are the ways that words and parts of words are linked together in a
language. This may be very different from how you do it in your native language.

And pronunciation is the way that sounds are made in the new language. These sounds
may be similar (rarely exactly the same) to the sounds of your own language, or they may
be very different. To learn the sounds, you have to learn where in the mouth the sound is
made, how it is made, and the position of the tongue in making the sound.
Communication is a process of transferring information from one entity to another.
Communication processes are sign-mediated interactions between at least two agents
which share a repertoire of signs and semiotic rules. Communication is commonly
defined as "the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech,
writing, or signs"

A language is a system of signs (indices, icons, symbols) for encoding and decoding
information. Since language and languages became an object of study (logos) by the
ancient grammarians, the term has had many and different definitions. The English word
derives from Latin lingua, "language, tongue," with a reconstructed Proto-Indo-European
root of *dnghû-, "tongue," a metaphor based on the use of the physical organ in speech.[1]
The ability to use speech originated in remote prehistoric times, as did the language
families in use at the beginning of writing. The processes by which they were acquired
were for the most part unconscious.

Oral communication

Oral communication is a process whereby information is transferred from a sender to

receiver usually by a verbal means but visual aid can support the process.. The receiver
could be an individual person, a group of persons or even an audience. There are a few of
oral communication types: discussion, speeches, presentations, etc. However, often when
you communicate face to face the body language and your voice tonality has a bigger
impact than the actual words that you are saying.

Pronunciation refers to the way a word or a language is spoken, or the manner in which
someone utters a word. If one is said to have "correct pronunciation", then it refers to
both within a particular dialect.
