Summary

Communication Works 11e applies a new critical thinking framework to its core content, now in a more user-friendly 15-chapter organization. We have retained and revised the text’s practical approach to communication, with a focus on the ways in which diversity, technology, social media, and ethical concerns both enrich and complicate our world. Students will learn what role communication plays in their lives today, in the classroom, and tomorrow, in the working world. And with Connect Communication, instructors and students have a print and digital solution to meet the needs of their course.

Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.
