“…We confine the focus of our literature review to scholarship that directly discuss the teaching of rhetoric. We start with textbooks since they are often a key indicator of what a field values as they mark the codification of effective teaching practices (e.g., Barker & Matveeva, 2006; Chong, 2016; McGarrity & Crosby, 2012). Some of the first textbooks in the field had a rhetorical approach.…”

Using an evaluative approach within a professional communication service course, we used student documents and instructor feedback to uncover how students and instructors were understanding the rhetoric student learning outcome (SLO). Because rhetoric is central to the course, our driving questions were, Can we locate language that actualizes the rhetoric SLO in student documents? How does faculty feedback articulate the rhetoric SLO to facilitate effective revision? Overall, we found that whether identifying rhetoric in student documents or instructor feedback, the interpretation was varied and opens up room in pedagogical practices. We offer three implications for teaching: enhancing attention to teaching rhetoric, improving assignment design, and focusing on professional development for faculty.

McClish (2016) argues a similar notion.In his piece, McClish (2016) examines the canon of delivery within three popular public speaking textbooks McClish (2016).…”

This essay makes the case that the account of delivery featured in the Institutio Oratoria remains germane to contemporary speech pedagogy. Quintilian emphasizes that (1) powerful delivery is central to eloquent public speaking; (2) delivery functions in concert with the other canons of rhetoric; and (3) delivery is governed by general rhetorical concepts such as decorum and ethos. Furthermore, scrutiny of Quintilian’s perspectives on gender and power can lead to fruitful rethinking of current pedagogy’s traditionalist tendencies.
