Communication in Everyday Life provides students with the skills and knowledge to enhance their daily lives though a deeper understanding of the inseparable connection between relationships and communication. This new alternate version of the text is designed for the hybrid course. The Basic Course Edition with Public Speaking includes four public speaking chapters with comprehensive coverage on preparing and delivering effective informative, persuasive, and special occasion presentations, in addition to practical instruction on communicating interpersonally, in groups, and with technology. The authors encourage students to think critically, to link communication theory to their own experiences, and to improve their communication skills in the process.
