Effective Speaking: Take Flight...Into Your Future

This textbook is unlike any other in this discipline -- it is a no-nonsense, hands-on, user-friendly guide to speaking success. Its purpose is to help students to become better speakers -- not to have them read grudgingly, highlight the textbook judiciously, take frequent quizzes, grumble through major exams, and then chuck it all out of the backs of their minds as they leave the classroom that very last time. Their other textbooks intimidate them, but Effective Take Flight...into Your Future invites. The learning is not just for the "here" and "now"; it is for each of their "theres" and for all of their "thens." Teachers looking for theory and testable material should search elsewhere. Teachers seeking the kind of genuine advice that can make even the most hamstrung speaker more able need look no farther.
