Abstract	The importance of the development of oral communication abilities has been documented in a number of sources. Studies of graduates, employers, and corporate executives have revealed, for example, that skills in problem solving, communication, and interpersonal relations are most valued in high tech corporations. Several recent indictments of education have also echoed the need for highly developed oral communication abilities. One way of assisting students in developing oral communication competencies is the required speech communication course, and another way is to integrate communication skills into content area courses. A review of the literature suggests that courses in English literature, composition, business communication, vocational education, engineering, psychology, and teacher education at various institutions have effectively incorporated instruction in oral communication competencies. Other schools have established speaking labs, while emphasis on speaking skills received attention in different disciplines seemed to depend on the interests of individual instructors. Several school districts have defined integrated curricula including speech, and a handful of colleges also have integrated speech programs. It can be determined from these programs that integrating communication across the curriculum depends largely on the expertise of instructors, although few are specifically trained to teach speaking skills. Success of these programs also depends on student interest, a careful balance of skills integrated into the curriculum, and attention to developmental sequence. (Fifty-five references are appended.)
