"The approach of this book is commendable in terms of coverage, content, and appealing to the teaching and learning. Certainly, it will enhance students in achieving the learning outcomes and objectives of the Public Speaking course particularly the ability to communicate effectively in public, interpersonal, organizational and other real life situations in the global world."

"The integration of the various technology resources is very laudable. As an advocate for the application of technology in higher education, I find the resources for the text very useful, current, and appealing."

"I like the (technology) integration very much. It reinforces the text material and give students an active way of learning in a new media world."

"(The authors) recognize that ever-evolving technologies affect the way students learn and the approach that students take to their course work. Students are not content to sit and read a textbook; they want the material to be interactive. The inclusion of interactive methods of learning sets this textbook apart from the rest."
