The participants in a social situation have to stake in the creation of the climate under the speech is to take place

Climate

According to Laban et al (1969) many factors are necessary in order to help students to learn to use oral language with honesty and vigor but the proper environment is the sine'qua non' (i.e it is indispensable)
An ideal speech situation is one in which both the speaker and the audience are relaxed and self confident.

The speaker should believe and know that he has something worth while to give and that his message will go down well with the audience. The audience on their part should have confidence in the speaker, believing that what the speaker has to say will be of benefit to them.

At the same point the audience should feel assured that they will be treated with due respect by
the speaker. Mean while the language used by the speaker should be one that matches the level
of the audience. For such a conducive atmosphere to prevail some qualities are called from both
parties.
