Teaching Communication is an innovative series designed to help communication instructors develop a course for the first time or to guide teacher-trainers as they work with new teachers in formal classroom settings or informal mentoring sessions. Providing theoretically grounded research-based guidelines for teaching communication effectively, each volume in the series provides robust suggestions for what to teach and how to teach various communication topics.

Volume IV: Instructional Resources contains more than 150 teaching resources such as syllabi, activities, assignments, and rubrics that can meet the needs of nearly any instructor style, institution, class size, course delivery format, and topical area.

The resources are organized by those for introductory courses; those dealing with history and ethics; those for courses on theory, followed by those for methods and those relative to public relations, advertising, and gender/race/class/culture courses. The last part contains course-specific resources in 13 areas, such as persuasion and argumentation, health communication, media studies, interpersonal communication, multimedia journalism and production, sports communication, and others. Featuring resources designed by experts in teaching communication, this volume provides a comprehensive compilation of course descriptions, learning outcomes, suggested activities, class assignments, and more to support and supplement communication curriculum.

Providing readers with the knowledge and skillsets they need to become effective educators, the Teaching Communication series is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in teaching communication.
