Description

Product Description: Roxbury is pleased to announce the Eighth Edition of Paul E. Nelson and Judy C. Pearson's CONFIDENCE IN PUBLIC SPEAKING (Telecourse Version). This paperback text offers a clear, straightforward approach on how to prepare, organize, and deliver effective public speeches-balancing theory and research with plentiful real-world examples. Students learn how to reduce anxiety and analyze an audience. The text accompanies GPN Media's SPEAKING WITH CONFIDENCE series, available on videocassettes or as a telecourse. New Features of the Eighth Edition Two new themed boxes have been added to each chapter. "Celebrating Diversity" boxes feature examples from diverse cultural groups. "On the Web" boxes provide lists of informative websites. Three chapters from the Sixth Edition, which were not included in the Seventh Edition, have been updated and restored to the new edition: "Speeches for Special Occasions," "Speech Criticism," and "Dynamics of Small Group Discussion." Most chapters include one or more relevant principles from the NCA Credo on Ethics. The "Finding Information" chapter offers updated coverage on the use of Internet search engines. The "Presentational Aids" chapter features use of PowerPoint software. Additional questions have been added to the beginning of each chapter. The chapters "First Speech," "Conquering Speech Anxiety," and "Group Leadership and Problem Solving" from the Sixth Edition remain available as printable PDFs on the Roxbury website. Continuing Features of the Eighth Edition Reality Checks: Each chapter offers brief, boxed "Reality Checks," designed to show public speakings relevance outside the classroom. Graphics: Stimulating graphics show and demonstrate concepts through drawings and models. Narratives: End-of-chapter narratives summarize or illustrate the content of the chapter. Incremental Method: This text encourages a "building-blocks" incremental approach to developing communication skills. Student Speeches: The book is replete with new examples from recent student speeches. These speeches were given by ordinary students, not professionals or prize-winning orators. Ethics: The book covers the ethics of communication in nearly every chapter. Ethical concerns are especially relevant in a world where any student can easily purloin a well-fashioned speech from the Internet. Diversity: This book includes speeches by a wide diversity of speakers, including African Americans, Native Americans, old and young men and women, the visually challenged, and others.
