Communication Pathways, 2e National Edition

Joseph M. Valenzano, III, Melissa A. Broeckelman-Post, Erin S. Parcell

Communication Pathways introduces an innovative handbook-style approach to the hybrid course, with concise chapters that emphasize communication theory. The authors chose to organize content around a communication-centric theme: dialogue. The first section of the text dedicates an entire chapter to the subject, unpacking the concept for students; the authors further incorporate and explain dialogic communication as it applies to subsequent chapter concepts. This theme is unique to the text and is a central element of what the authors aim to accomplish: create competent, dialogic communicators who know how to advocate for ideas civilly, explain complicated subjects, and disagree without being disagreeable in a variety of interactive settings.
