Speaking with a Purpose by Arthur Koch

Now in its 11th edition, Speaking with a Purpose is designed to help speakers develop the skills they need to prepare and deliver effective speeches.

Using a traditional step-by-step approach combined with up-to-date communication theory, this no-frills textbook allows students to prepare, practice, and present speeches. This new edition places greater emphasis on the skills needed to communicate effectively both onl and offline. It analyses the similarities and differences between in-person speaking and onl video conferencing and explores technical onl attributes such as best Zoom protocols. This new edition also provides a deeper focus on the ethics and ethical implications associated with communicating in public and assesses issues such as trustworthiness, integrity, and respect for others.

A valuable resource in the traditional, onl, or hybrid classroom, this is an essential textbook for general courses in public speaking and speech communication and composition.

Onl resources for instructors include a fully updated test bank and an Instructor's Manual containing learning objectives and discussion questions. They are available onl at https: //www.routledge.com/9781032502700.
