Based on the National Communication Association's conceptual model
for teaching and evaluating undergraduate public speeches (as
developed by the author and others), Sherwyn P. Morreale offers a
highly accessible, easy-to-teach, easy-to-learn approach to public
speaking. The approach adopted in the text includes eight public
speaking competencies - four on speech preparation and four on
speech delivery - which are enhanced by emphasizing the impact of
technology, ethics, culture, and diversity on public speaking. A
number of unique features designed to improve teaching and learning
include: - Students used as examples in each chapter so that
readers can follow them as they learn about public speaking; -
Tables and boxed text to reinforce the most important learning
points; - Checkpoint and self-assessment tools so that readers can
determine their level of competence and find out whether they are
ready to proceed to the next chapter; - Competence-building
activities for students to apply chapter concepts and practice
public speaking strategies in the classroom or as take-home
assignments; - An accompanying website which is updated on a
regular basis and offers a forum for students to contact the
author. Designed for introductory-level public speaking courses
taught at two- and four-year colleges and universities, this text
offers a distinctively practical alternative for students and
teachers to achieve consistency across multiple sections of the
public speaking course. An instructor's manual is available on
request.
