Public Speaking: The Inside Word v1.0.1 CUSTOM City Colleges of Chicago 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

Public Speaking: The Inside Word covers the fundamentals of public speaking along with the tools and techniques needed to speak successfully in virtual environments. The book is structured around “Four Factors of Intrinsic Motivation” or “Four Cs” (Curiosity, Control, Challenge, and Career). This motivational framework focuses students’ attention while providing a context drawn from the information-rich, constantly changing world in which students live. This highly visual text helps students learn the fundamentals of public speaking—from selecting and researching compelling topics to delivering speeches with power and passion. Informed by current research on how today’s Generation Z students (born since the year 1996) consume information, it also emphasizes inclusion and the relevance of professional speaking for students of all ages and backgrounds. Public Speaking works equally well in any instructional context—face-to-face, fully online, or hybrid contexts—bringing relevance to the basic course for today’s learners.
