- Adds research on motivating students to prepare for participation in classroom discussions.
- Focuses more attention on communication ethics, including the NCA creed and case studies, to draw students’ attention to this core topic.
- Adds research on ableism, classism, sexism, and ethnocentrism in Chapter Ten.
- Offers a more streamlined version of the “Future Reference”boxes (user-friendly practical applications of theory) to help students better see how the material can be put to use in their own classrooms.
