The Gender Communication Connection offers an interactive approach to the course, enabling students to experience firsthand how gender communication affects their lives daily. A range of compelling features promotes student interaction with the material.

Learning Objectives open each new chapter, introducing key terms and challenging students to actively consider the issues explored in the chapter.
Think About This Cartoon prompts students to use a selected cartoon to explain, compare, or contrast their own feelings about a key issue that will be explored in the text.
Journal Boxes in each chapter ask students to focus on emotions, attributes, and expected/predicted outcomes as they consider their own positions on various gender issues.
Literary Insight asks students to read and consider excerpts from plays, poems, essays, and novels that highlight gender issues. Follow-up questions encourage students to reflect and broaden their understanding.
Culturally Speaking boxes prompt students to question their own practices and cultural assumptions, facilitating critical thinking.
A Researcher's View exercises profile a research study abstract or research question that has been pursued, and then invites students to investigate and/or replicate the study on a personal scale.
Gender Communication in Practice provides a forum for the authors, guest speakers, and others to present their perspectives and experiences on gender-based questions, scenarios, and controversies.
Strong end-of-chapter pedagogy includes special sections which strengthen students' critical-thinking skills by prompting them to discuss, reflect upon, write about, or explore online a variety of gender topics and issues.
An online chapter, "Gender and Technology," addresses the ongoing challenges and changes in the influence of technology on gender and society.
