Help students understand how public speaking is a cornerstone of democratic engagement
Revel Public Speaking and Civic Engagement opens students’ eyes to the critical role debate plays in democracy through the context of real-world events. With an emphasis on the importance of communication, it teaches students to effectively share insights and ideas, listen to those of others, and debate opinions critically as part of their responsibility as democratic citizens. Throughout the text, the authors demonstrate the importance of public speaking with concrete examples in a concise and accessible format that students can understand and enjoy. The 2019 Revel re-release of the 4th Edition offers updated videos, assessments, and interactive figures, integrated writing prompts, and new photos and examples that illustrate current events and contemporary public speaking situations.
