Help Students Achieve Their Full Potential In Public Speech

Mastering Public Speaking shows students both the hows and the whys of public speaking using an instructional approach that positions the instructor as a “guide on the side” rather than a “sage on the stage.” By challenging students to make the decisions required of public speakers, the text empowers them to take responsibility for their own learning.

In its Ninth Edition, Mastering Public Speaking reflects the current twenty-first century realities that have altered our expectations of what a public speech can accomplish, including new media and emerging technologies. At the same time, the authors’ basic instructional approach remains focused on the key ingredients of effective speech, including sensitive audience analysis, adequate research, clear organization, and dynamic delivery.
