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.

Designed as a handbook, this text provides media, speech (public speaking, interpersonal, small group, and organizational communication), and theatre educators with both the theoretical and practical ammunition to fight the assessment battles on their campuses. The philosophical implications of accountability are balanced with concrete, specific, and usable assessment strategies. Stressing student, faculty, course, program, department, and institutional assessment, this book's aim is to provide, in one place, information that will help diverse and complex communication programs face the growing challenges in assessment. The book is divided into three sections: background and foundational information for assessment; broad assessment strategies that apply to a variety of media, "speech," and theatre courses and programs; and context-specific assessment strategies. While covering a host of topics, it: * provides an overview of assessment and suggests how it might impact communication education, * discusses the elements of program assessment and how linkage of mission statements with outcomes can lead to strong, innovative programs, * compares and contrasts regional association requirements and presents a specific how-to strategy for writing outcome statements, * discusses teaching evaluation and argues that we need to identify the "what" of teaching before we try to measure the "how," * looks at creative ways for formative and summative course evaluation that starts with the creation of an explicit syllabus, * discusses the use of capstone courses as a way of evaluating not only their major but also how students have integrated their "total" educational experience, * suggests the variety of ways that interpersonal communication can be assessed and calls for future research that stresses the "knowledge" component of learning, * reports on a strategy for developing small group communication assessment measures, and * provides media, speech, and theatre faculty and administrators with the background, understanding and tools to build stonger programs and develop better courses and educational experiences for their students.

Speaking Professionally: Influence, Power, and Responsibility at the Podium is based on the premise that competence and confidence in presentation settings are personally empowering and can be learned. This lively and practical text is intended for students in college or professional courses devoted in whole or in part to improving speaking skills. The most concise and affordable book of its kind, it will be a lifetime resource for anyone who needs to prepare, deliver, and evaluate professional presentations. Firmly grounded in rhetorical theory, Speaking Professionally is organized for effective learning of communication competencies, including the abilities to: --Structure a message --Deliver a message --Analyze audiences --Deal with speaking anxiety --Use visual complements --Develop persuasive arguments --Recognize the advantages of speaking styles for particular situations --Respond to questions during Q-and-A --Prepare for and deliver team presentations --Demonstrate awareness of a presenter's ethical responsibilities --Understand the fundamental principles that affect communication success Each chapter in the text addresses one or more of these competencies in a way that is both clear and engaging. Chapter in a Nutshell outlines the core message and learning goals at the opening of each chapter, followed by a vignette that puts these in a compelling real-life context. In addition to boxes, tables, figures, and other illustrative features, the chapters include three types of exercises. Stand Up and Deliver moves students from passive learning to doing. Students then Reverse the Perspective to reevaluate a presentation issue from the audience's point of view. Underscoring the principle that effective communication entails responsibility, students also respond to an Ethical Probe. A concluding Summary and Review Questions reinforce what has been learned in each chapter. An online Instructor's Manual is available to adopters.
