FOR STUDENTS

Public Speaking: Concepts and Skills for a Diverse Society

ISBN: 9781285445854
Offering comprehensive coverage in a concise format, PUBLIC SPEAKING: CONCEPTS AND SKILLS FOR A DIVERSE SOCIETY, 8e is a culturally informed book that never loses sight of its fundamental purpose: training students to be effective public speakers and listeners in a world filled with monumental cultural, political, and technological changes. It combines 2,500-year-old principles with up-to-date research into concepts, skills, theories, applications, and critical-thinking proficiencies essential for listening and speaking well. Discussions of classic public speaking topics are grounded in an awareness of the impact of cultural nuances-ranging from gender differences to co-cultures within the United States to the traditions of other nations. This provides students with a key element in being an effective public speaker: a heightened awareness of and sensitivity to the audience. Reflecting the latest research and practices, it includes new coverage of listening competencies, online courses, legacy journalism, native digital news outlets, MAPit, powerful language forms, and more. In addition, numerous sample speeches and interactive skill-building exercises are available in MindTap.
