In the last entry I used the term “oral preference”. Maybe we should define that too.

From Making Disciples of Oral Learners oral preference is defined as a “preference for receiving and processing information in an oral format rather than print. That person may or may not be a reader”.

In the same way “an oral communicator is someone who prefers to learn or process information by oral rather than written means. (Thus, there are literate people whose preferred communication style is oral rather than literate, even though they can read). Also someone who cannot read or write. Someone whose preferred or most effective communication and learning format, style or method is in accordance with oral formats, as contrasted to literate formats”.
