Public Speaking in a Global Context, fifth edition

Built by a communication educator

SpeechGradebook was created by Anna McClure, Ph.D., coauthor of Public Speaking in a Global Context (5th ed., Macmillan Learning), with years of experience teaching public speaking and related communication courses. That research informs evaluation wherever spoken performance is assessed.

In those public speaking courses, student evaluations averaged 4.5/5 on feedback quality and classroom support.

“She provides beneficial feedback on our speeches so we can improve. She is very calm and encouraging.” Public speaking student
