Noting that little systematic attention has been devoted to research on the development, administration, and effects of a student internship program in speech communication, this practical guide to internships describes how to develop and administer such a program. The first part of the guide deals with preliminary considerations, including definition of terms, internship coordinators, faculty and agency supervisors, and program objectives and internship models. The second section of the guide discusses procedures and issues, including the application and recommendation process, the syllabus, and supervision and evaluation. Appendixes contain application and evaluation forms. (HTH)
