Pragmatic Public Speaking: A Workshop Approach to Real World Speeches explains why speaking well is a necessary tool for professional success, and how to speak well in a variety of situations and genres. Using a workbook format, each chapter of the book discusses why a particular type of speech is useful and gives tips on preparation and provides two practice assignments.

The initial chapters deal with speech preparation strategies such outlining and organizing informative speeches, researching, and creating visual aids. Then, students learn about the components of effective delivery-- voice and body language. The final chapters address the art of persuasive speaking, which includes understanding claims, fallacies, and advocacy.

Every chapter includes a brainstorm box to help students prepare, a speech checklist for review, an atomistic evaluation, and a holistic evaluation. As they move through the book, readers learn how to analyze speeches, look for logical chains of progression, and identify flaws in logic.

Designed to prepare students for a successful communication future, Pragmatic Public Speaking can be used in introductory communication and public speaking courses.
