others on various aspects of communication. Inside this second

contemporary discussion of topics and issues concerning the
teaching of communication. The chapters contained

discipline--address conceptual as well as practical issues related

education, then delves into the preparation of specific
communication courses. It includes assistance for instructors in
organizing instructional content and discusses the use of

evaluating the processes and products of instruction. The volume
also covers unique teaching assignments that may be encountered,
from the basic course to continuing education, and addresses 2-year
college teaching, directing forensic programs, distance education,
and consulting. It concludes with important professional issues
faced by both new and experienced communication instructors,
