THE COMPETENT PUBLIC SPEAKER - SHERWYN P MORREA...

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.
