Many public speaking texts take students through a number of
chapters of theory and advice before getting to the different types
of speeches (e.g., informative, persuasive, special occasion, and
small group presentations) that they will give. This innovative new
book provides students with the tools they need to speak
confidently earlier in the course.
Based on her many years of teaching experience, Sherry Devereaux
Ferguson outlines an additive approach to public speaking,
providing a foundational overview at the beginning of the book.
Each subsequent chapter presents the information and skills
necessary to fulfill that chapter's assignment. This organization
allows students to master skills incrementally and--in the
process--to begin speaking earlier. With a goal of building
competency in stages, Ferguson's sure-footed method leads to more
confident and effective speakers. Paying special attention to
audience analysis and rhetorical criticism, this distinctive text
also offers a strong ethical foundation for the act of public
speaking.
Features
* Assignment-based: Organizes content around speech assignments
rather than topics, allowing professors to introduce practical work
early in the course
* Additive in approach: Allows the student to apply principles
learned earlier in the course and also to acquire additional
knowledge and skills with each new assignment
* Innovative: Incorporates a number of unique features such as the
critical communication model, which offers an ethical component;
chapters on professional speechwriting and rhetorical analysis; a
discussion of PowerPoint presentations; and novel assignments such
as a speech of welcome, a coffee shopdiscussion on ethics, and a
team presentation based on theories of multiple intelligence
Providing an abundance of examples, tips from professionals,
sample student speeches, and visuals, Public Speaking: Building
Competency in Stages helps students to overcome their fears by
equipping them with the tools they need to speak confidently in any
context.
