A practical and comprehensive textbook with a hands-on communication project in every chapter
Students practice and apply communication skills from the first to the last chapter. As students prepare, present, and evaluate a speaking project, they learn essential communication skills and concepts. Each chapter also raises an essential question and end-of-chapter activities direct students to respond to the question and reflect on their learning.
A digital Student Edition features six-year online access.
