Verderber/Sellnow's COMMUNICATE!, 16th EDITION, is a groundbreaking human communication text that equips students with the communication skills they need to be successful communicators across face-to-face, in-person and virtual contexts. The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown forever altered many ways we communicate and the degree to which we rely on technology for communication. However, the fundamentals of effective communication remain largely unchanged. Thus, this edition of COMMUNICATE! remains steadfast in its goal to engage students in the following: learning communication theory in ways that illustrate how it plays out in various communication settings, and applying strategic tools for effective communication in these settings. This edition focuses on evaluating communication and practicing skills across interpersonal, intercultural, group and public speaking settings, and includes skill-building exercises and many other features.
