The Communication Experience: A Guide to Successful Public Speaking
introduces students to the study of public speaking by focusing on
four foundational conclusions about the communication experience:
that writing, reading, critical thinking, and speaking skills are
needed to succeed in any academic or professional setting; that
public speaking is just one of many communication skills needed to
succeed; that speeches are more than something that you cut and
paste together; and that public communication is often made more
difficult than it has to be. The text helps students recognize the
role of public speaking within the larger practice of
communication, develop essential skills for and approaches to
speechmaking, and understand and overcome communication
apprehension. The text is organized into three units. Unit one
focuses on the global communication experience. In unit two,
students learn about academic and professional speechmaking. Unit
three teaches readers how to personalize their speeches, addressing
ways they can cultivate their own unique style and customize their
content. Individual chapters address various communication
environments; incorporating audience ethics into speechmaking;
argumentation; hearing versus listening; tailoring a speech for a
specific audience; organizational strategies for speeches;
storytelling in academic and professional presentations; finding
your voice; and more. The Communication Experience is an exemplary
resource for courses and programs in public speaking and
communication.
