This book discusses how people go about achieving their social
goals through human symbolic interaction. The editors' collective
presumption is that there are more or less typical ways that people
attempt to obtain desired outcomes -- be they persuasive,
informative, conflictive, or the like -- through communication.
Representing a first summary of research done by scholars,
primarily in the communication discipline, this volume seeks to
identify and understand how it is that people achieve what they
want through social interaction. Under the very broad label of
strategies, this research has sought to:
* identify critical social goals such as gaining compliance,
generating affinity, resolving social conflict, and offering
information;
* specify, for each goal, the ways, or strategies, by which people
can go about achieving these goals;
* determine predictors of strategy selection -- that is, why does
a person opt for one strategy over others to obtain the desired
end?
The research also reflects the attention the field of
communication has given to strategy issues in the past 15 years.
The chapters describe research on the ways in which people achieve
different goals, and summarize existing research and theory on the
attainment of social goals. Readers will gain insight into many of
the issues that exist regardless of the strategy being discussed.
Thus, this volume may not include chapters on topics such as ways
people elicit or offer disclosure, ways people demonstrate anger,
or ways people create guilt, but the issues that appear
consistently throughout the various chapters should apply equally
to these. Finally, the essays in this volume provide not only a
summary of what has been accomplished to date, but also an initial
theoretic map for future research concerning strategic
interpersonal communication.

communication.
The field of communication was founded, in part, because of a need
to make people better communicators. That meant teaching them how
to communicate more effectively, whether it be in public settings
or in private. Most of that teaching has happened within the
classroom and many professionals have spent their lives instructing
others on various aspects of communication. Inside this second
edition, the editors have assembled a fully comprehensive and
contemporary discussion of topics and issues concerning the
teaching of communication. The chapters contained
herein--contributed by key voices throughout the communication
discipline--address conceptual as well as practical issues related
to communication instruction. The contents of this new edition
reflect the dramatic changes that have occurred in communication
education since the publication of the first edition in 1990.
This book focuses initially on the goals of communication
education, then delves into the preparation of specific
communication courses. It includes assistance for instructors in
organizing instructional content and discusses the use of
instructional strategies and tools, as well as offering ideas on
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,
including ethics and political issues within classrooms and
departments.
This volume is a necessity for anyone starting out a career as a
communication instructor. Veteran educators--who know that learning
to teach is a continual growth experience--will find useful and
invaluable information within the book's pages. Whatever background
and level of experience, all communication educators will find this
new edition to be an essential resource for their work.
