As experienced instructors, Nan Hall and Karol Walchak know that face-to-face communication plays a fundamental role in the successful classroom. Now they have written an innovative workbook that can augment any primary text in the speech communication classroom. Speech Communication Workbook provides anextensive number of activities and exercises that allow students not only to understand the theory but also put into practice the concepts they are taught.
Using attention-grabbing exercises (like asking students to imagine they have just crash-landed their spaceships on the moon), the authors guide students through essential skills, like coming to consensus, while truly listening to others’ points of view. Most activities are completed in small groups and encourage lots of face-to-face interaction among students. For those who worry that, in the age of digital connectivity, we have actually become disconnected from one another, Speech Communication Workbook offers a way forward that acknowledges the importance of all forms of communication.
