Book overview
Essential Communication, 4th Edition bridges the gap between the concepts and theory that instructors want and need their students to learn and the skills that students want to know and practice. As students read, they are shown how to enhance knowledge and skill through Ask Yourself self quizzes, Pause to Reflect questions, Tips & Reminders, and Putting it All Together end-of-chapter application exercises that invite them to apply what they are learning to real-life situations. All this skills-based information is informed by the most up-to-date research in communication and readily assignable through Oxford Insight.
