Sumario:[EN] At present, there are certain generic abilities which are considered to be as important as professional abilities to perform properly at work. Among these abilities, we can mention the ability to communicate in the oral and written medium, to interact and work in teams, to evaluate others and evaluate themselves, to act in new situations, to take decisions, to search common goals and to commit to their sociocultural environment. The present study aimed to find out about the abilities in oral communication of undergraduate students of elective subjects in the programme of the Veterinary Medicine course at Universidad Nacional del Litoral. These abilities were explored by means of an online survey administered to these students. The survey was designed around different dimensions related to abilities in oral communication: the purpose of communication, the bilateral nature of the communicative process, being an empathic communicator, active listening, the combination of verbal and non-verbal abilities and strategic oral communication in formal situations. Our results showed that in general the students perceive that their abilities in relation to most dimensions are satisfactory. However, a significant number of them expressed that they have certain problems with strategic oral communication in formal situations. This study reveals the importance of conducting classroom interventions oriented towards the development and improvement of abilities in strategic oral communication in order to contribute to meet the demands of the professional world.
