Recitation is a form of religious practice in which fixed material (prayers, catechism, etc.) are spoken or performed. For example the salaah in Islam or the doxology in some Christian churches.
Recitation or the spoken presentation (performance) of a written speech or piece of poetry is used in oratory for practice.
A recitation is a discussion carried by a teaching assistant (TA) to supplement a lecture given by a senior faculty at an academic institution. During the recitation, TAs will review the lecture, expand on the concepts, and carry a discussion with the students. In classes with a mathematics aspect, the recitation is often used to perform derivations or solve problems similar to those assigned to the students.
