With a commitment to cultural sensitivity and scholarship in the discipline, Principles and Types of Public Speaking combines a focus on contemporary research with practical skills and advice on how to communicate in public settings.

The text focuses on culture and community building, with a goal of helping students to understand how they can adapt to cultural differences and what role communication plays in creating social cohesion, whether speaking in informational, persuasive, ceremonial or business-oriented settings. By focusing on both speechmaking in society and student presentations in the classroom, this text helps students see the relationship between what they are learning and how they can use this knowledge outside of the classroom.

  • Offers a thorough connection to culture studies by focusing on approaching and analyzing public discourse in a culturally diverse society.
  • Discusses step-by-step guidelines for a variety of topics discussed in the text—from managing your fear of public speaking to choosing organizational patterns and developing argumentative speeches—in “How To…” boxes which encourage critical thinking and help students connect theory to practice.
  • Helps students think about ethical problems and their possible solutions in “Ethical Moments” boxes throughout each chapter.
  • Introduces conceptually complex ideas in a way that makes them both understandable and applicable to the act of speaking in public settings.
  • Includes “Communication Research Dateline” boxes, which underscore the dual focus on grounded knowledge and practical advice to speakers.
  • Contains the most comprehensive coverage of Monroe's Motivated Sequence, based on the original work of author Alan Monroe, enabling students to learn this process from its creator.

  • Increases coverage of the role of new technologies in communicating—from critically assessing Web-based resources to using PowerPoint™ in presentations.
  • Provides a greater emphasis on the overall role of ethics in communication, illustrating for students the growing importance of ensuring that they communicate with ethical standards in mind (through the “Ethical Moments” boxes in each chapter).
  • Contains updated research while introducing students to the scholarship in public communication, including but not limited to performance theory as it affects orality, culture studies, and persuasion theory.
  • Includes a renewed and updated emphasis on how public language (in the guise of political correctness debates, etc.) functions in avoiding offending others.
  • Emphasizes a new discussion of community building, tying ceremonial and business occasions together, which creates a greater coherence in the discussion of how language constructs community (Ch. 16).
  • Responds to contemporary issues with a streamlined and updated discussion of civility (Ch. 10).
  • Contains new sample speeches in various chapters to keep the text up-to-date by referencing current events.

Most chapters end with “Assessing a Sample Speech,” “Chapter Summary,” “Key Terms,” “Assessment Activities,” “References,” and “Boxed Items.”

A Note to Students and Teachers.
