Synopsis

Appropriate for first- or second-year communications classes, Real World Communication is aimed at adults - those entering college just after high school, and those who have decades of work and life experience already. The text uses a scenario-based approach that asks students to ground their assignments in the real world situations they have experienced or will experience in the future. As well as a thorough introduction to communication theory and terminology, Real World Communication includes units on:

  • Managing conflict
  • Working in groups
  • Communicating across cultures
  • Conducting an effective job search
  • Interviewing

 

The text is readable and entertaining, even as it challenges adults to apply communication theory to their own professional, personal, and academic lives. Each unit provides sample assignments, including essays, speeches, and group projects. Supplementary instructor materials are available with book purchase.
