Oral language development refers to the process through which individuals learn and refine their ability to communicate verbally. It involves acquiring and using spoken language skills such as vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and intonation. Oral language development typically begins in infancy and continues through childhood and adolescence, with individuals gradually improving their ability to understand and produce speech, engage in conversations, and effectively communicate with others. Various factors, such as exposure to language, social interactions, and individual differences, can impact oral language development. Strong oral language skills are essential for academic success, social relationships, and overall communication.
