{"product_id":"competent-public-speaker-1","title":"Competent Public Speaker","description":"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:\u003cbr\u003e  – Students used as examples in each chapter so that readers can follow them as they learn about public speaking;\u003cbr\u003e  – Tables and boxed text to reinforce the most important learning points;\u003cbr\u003e  – 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;\u003cbr\u003e  – Competence-building activities for students to apply chapter concepts and practice public speaking strategies in the classroom or as take-home assignments;\u003cbr\u003e  – An accompanying website which is updated on a regular basis and offers a forum for students to contact the author.\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223103295832,"sku":"9781433108563","price":41.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781433108563_32a6d7d1-5c37-4305-a60b-87bbe1bd7c02.jpg?v=1779162342","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/competent-public-speaker-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
