About this Item

Teaching Communication is an innovative series designed to help communication instructors develop a course for the first time or to guide teacher-trainers as they work with new teachers in formal classroom settings or informal mentoring sessions. Providing theoretically grounded research-based guidelines for teaching communication effectively, each volume in the series provides robust suggestions for what to teach and how to teach various communication topics. Volume II: Communication Studies contains a comprehensive and contemporary discussion of topics and issues about the teaching of communication studies. The chapters-written by key voices in the communication discipline-address conceptual as well as practical issues related to communication studies instruction. Opening chapters cover strategies and approaches for teaching introductory, foundational, and core courses, such as public speaking, the hybrid course, communication theory, and research methods. Additional chapters address courses that showcase relational topics and issues, such as interpersonal and family communication, intercultural communication, gender and communication, and nonverbal communication. Others emphasize the importance of communication in professional and workplace contexts (e.g., group and organizational communication), and closing chapters expand communication skills development to public engagement contexts, such as teaching persuasion, health and environmental communication, and ethics. Providing readers with the knowledge and skillsets they need to become effective educators, the Teaching Communication series is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in teaching communication.
