A study investigated a communication skills tutoring program to determine if peer tutoring proved an appropriate pedagogy for communication skills training. A survey, in which questions were grouped into categories of instructional, ethical, and training issues, was distributed to 8 instructors and to 12 tutors who were enrolled in a course entitled "Communication Skills Tutoring" at Radford University. In this course communication majors learned principles and methods of "training clients" in the improvement of communication skills in such areas as public speaking, group discussion, and listening. For the applied component of the course, students were assigned to speech communication professors who used them as consultants and tutors in their public speaking classes. Results revealed strong support for this aid from a significant majority of consultants and instructors. Both groups perceived that instructors, consultants, and students benefited greatly from the experience. Results also revealed overall agreement among faculty and consultants as to what constitutes ethical and unethical consultant behavior. Findings suggest the potential merits of peer tutoring in public speaking classes. (Four tables of data are included; 22 references are attached.) (KEH)
