Convention 2006
Texas Speech Communication Association

Welcome to the 2006 Texas Speech Communication
Association Convention!
The Rise of Incivility:
Establishing Respectful Communication
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
According to the Rules of Civility, George Washington’s Rule #1 was “Every action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present.” I am very excited about this year’s convention topic as civility is a huge social concern today in the business place as well as in the classroom. Not a day goes by in my classroom without mentioning the significance of one of the Six Pillars of Character whether it’s trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, or citizenship. (Josephson Institute, 2005) As I stated in the 2006 call for papers ‘the hallmarks of every profession should have civility and professionalism as the twin goals in order to be successful in anything and everything.’ Vice President Joe Trevino has put together a broad range of wonderful programs for us as we explore the problems of incivility in our discipline . I hope you find the programs rewarding and interesting.
To those of you that have served as Executive Officers, Interest Group chairs, District Chairs, and Committee Chairs- THANK YOU, for all you do and will continue to do for this wonderful organization. This year’s convention is successful because of all your time and hard work.
To the new members of TSCA, you have just made a super decision by joining this outstanding organization. TSCA is a strong network of speech and theatre educators and administrators in the big state of Texas. Use this convention as an opportunity to gather all of the wisdom and insight that is sure to be shared by the presenters of our convention panels. Amidst all of the great opportunities for professional growth, do not neglect the personal growth that we as educators sometimes neglect.
Throughout the history of TSCA, our organization has evolved into a body that paves the way for speech communication and its educators in both our state and nation. We continue to grow in numbers and in strength. We have a history that every member can be proud of and we look to the future with a vision of more success for our discipline.
Enjoy this year’s convention and thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve TSCA and its membership for the last three years.
Respectfully,
Natalie Bryant
President, TSCA 2006
Respectfully,
Natalie Bryant
Vice-President, TSCA 2005

From the President

Call for Manuscripts
Texas Speech Communication Journal
Volume 32
The last five years has seen a dramatic increase in the number of online course offerings and degree programs, both for secondary and post-secondary students in the United States. In 2000–2001, 90 percent of public 2-year and 89 percent of public 4-year institutions offered distance education courses (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics. (2003). Distance Education at Degree-Granting Postsecondary Institutions: 2000-2001, NCES 2003-017, Executive Summary). College-level, credit-granting distance education courses were offered at the graduate/first-professional level by 52 percent of institutions that had graduate/first-professional programs. Many college administrators have viewed online course development as a way to increase enrollment. The discipline of communication has followed this trend by creating online course delivery for the basic course, as well as upper level courses. The Texas Speech Communication Journal issues a call for papers that focus on the challenges and opportunities of teaching communication courses online. Contributors may approach the topic from a variety of perspectives: rhetorical, research based, narrative, and experiential. Teaching Tips submitted for Volume 32 should reflect best practices in teaching communication in a web-based environment. Manuscripts should be received no later than October 15, 2006. Manuscripts not devoted to the topic of online course delivery will be considered for the research section of the issue as space allows. TSCJ follows a policy of blind review so no author identification should appear in the body of the manuscript.
Manuscripts should not exceed 25 pages and be written according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). The title page should include the author's name, academic position, institutional affiliation, full mailing address, telephone number, email address, brief author bio, and a history of the manuscript (presentation at conferences). An abstract of not more than 150 words should accompany the manuscript. The author should also include keywords for the article. Email submissions are preferred for both manuscripts and teaching tips (either in WordPerfect or Word.). The format for Teaching Tips should include learning objectives, description of preparation needed for the activity, a description of the activity, instructions for debriefing and a list of resources. Book reviews for this issue will focus on teaching online and online course develpment. If you are interested in writing a book review, contact TSCJ Book Review Editor Jessica Mallard (jmallard@mail.wtamu.edu).
Queries and manuscript submissions should be sent to:
TSCJ Editor Trudy L. Hanson email: thanson@mail.wtamu.edu West Texas A&M University (806) 651-2800

October 3-6, 2007
In a message posted to the “Newsletter of the International Listening Association”, listening was referred to as the language of peace. However, most people approach communication from an encoding perspective; consequently listening is our most used and least taught communication skill. However, if one perceives listening as the process of empowerment, listening has the potential to transform business, education, politics, and our world.
While following past TSCA conference themes of accountability and civility, listening as empowerment presents a capstone undertaking intended to explore the process of decoding and responding to messages in the 21st Century. Therefore, our 2007 TSCA conference challenges its members to share their ideas on listening competencies through creating programs that:
Address listening competencies associated with self-esteem
Review listening as incorporated with assessment
Examine listening through a rhetorical perspective
Assess its impact on the fields of health communication, popular culture, pedagogy and curriculum development
Develop and examine the impact of listening in second language acquisition, the media, family communication and interpersonal relationships in general
Suggest ways that TSCA can increase awareness of the need to teach listening at all educational levels
Because listening is ubiquitous, complex, and varied (www.listen.org) our San Antonio conference will offer something for everyone. Join us by sharing your research and ideas at our 2007 TSCA Conference. Interest Group Chairs will submit panels online at:

Deadline: March 1, 2007
