In this landmark tenth edition of Communicate!we have tried not only to impart conceptual understanding of relevant theory and research but to provide the kind of guidance and features that help students translate what they have read into genuine communication competence.

With a combination of theory,skills practice,and competency evaluation,students (1) learn to understand the major concepts from communication theory and research,(2) become able to recognize how these concepts and theories provide a basis for communication skills,(3) have access to a range of communication skills,and (4) begin to apply what they learn in class to reallife situations,thus increasing communication competence in all settings.
