First Edition

Engaging Communication embraces public speaking as context for teaching communication knowledge and skills to help students become critical consumers and producers of information. Students engage communication principles while learning to become media- and information-literate consumers and then build upon that understanding to create engaging, persuasive communication of their own.

The authors designed Engaging Communication to support the goals and values of general education programs striving to prepare students to be globally engaged citizens who seek knowledge, appreciate diversity, think critically, communicate effectively, act responsibly, and work collaboratively. The text further supports the pursuit of these goals through several recurring key features that encourage student engagement and interaction.
