Morphology
The meaning 'the process of conveying information through spoken language' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'speech' (spoken language) with 'communication' (the exchange of information). This is a compositional, cross-linguistically common noun phrase structure that a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand.
Etymology
Speech communication joins speech, meaning 'spoken words', and communication, meaning 'sharing ideas'. Imagine a person saying an idea and passing it to others like handing them a note—this picture helps you remember how talking shares information. That's why it means 'the process of conveying information or ideas through spoken language'.
