Abstract
<p> Description from the publisher's website: From the authors of <em> The Speaker </em> and <em> The Speaker’s Primer </em> comes an innovative new textbook that covers communication curriculum in an approachable way. Communication Pathways introduces a modern approach to the survey course, with concise chapters that emphasize communication theory. The authors organize content around a communication-centric theme: dialogue. A full chapter devoted to dialogic communication unpacks the concept for students; the authors further incorporate and explicate dialogic communication as it applies to subsequent chapter concepts. This theme is unique to the text and is a central element of what the authors aim to accomplish: to create competent communicators who can advocate ideas civilly, explain complicated subjects, and disagree without being disagreeable in a variety of interactive settings. <ul id="x-x-x-u12958-34"> <li> Dialogic communication theme unifies survey communication course content to foster student engagement and concept application </li> <li> Concise presentation offers theory-based learning that leaves room for instructor innovation </li> <li> “Mediated Moments” feature illustrates key concepts from chapters through contemporary, relatable examples </li> <li> “Dialing Diversity” boxes engage age, gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, and ethnicity </li> </ul></p>
