Buillding Bridges

by Gudykunst

By being aware of the ways in which people communicate and by practicing new communication skills, students can learn to communicate more effectively. Building Bridges helps students make the vital connection between knowing and doing, the key to improving interpersonal communication. The authors' non-prescriptive approach helps students understand their own assumptions about communicating. In-text activities emphasize development of interpersonal skills through self-assessment questionnaires, skills exercises, journal keeping, and boxed readings.
