When purchased from FlatWorld (the publisher), this Color Print Textbook includes Online Access, Quizzes, Flashcards and Homework (if professor uses Homework system). Online textbook is accessible. Introduction to Public An Inductive Approach brings a fresh and common-sense strategy to teaching and learning public speaking. This book’s inductive approach guides students to learn and practice each part of a public speech one component at a time. Confidence grows and competence naturally develops as learners build the necessary skills, one by one, that are required to conceptualize, research, prepare, and successfully deliver a full speech. The deductive approach used by other books can overwhelm students and stoke anxiety. This is because deductive learners are typically expected to deliver fully finished speeches before they thoroughly understand each component. In contrast, Introduction to Public An Inductive Approach is constructed to assuage anxiety and build competence with its supportive, step-by-step learning strategy.
