Abstract
The development of oral communication across‐the‐curriculum programs requires that non‐speech students receive oral communication instruction to facilitate the oral communication activities used to enhance learning in their classes. Many non‐speech faculty lack adequate instruction in oral communication theory and practice, thus creating a major obstacle to developing programs of oral communication across the curriculum (OCXC). This article examines the advantages, disadvantages, and preliminary assessments of the training model and the consulting/training model approaches to providing oral communication instruction in OCXC programs. A recommended position for the Speech Communication discipline with respect to these models is discussed.
