【Course Contents】

Multimodal communication means using various methods, or "modes," like speech, writing, gestures, visuals, and sound, together to convey meaning, enhancing understanding and expression.
In this course, you will learn how people communicate using more than just words. We will analyse various types of communication, such as gestures, advertising, and social media videos, in order to enhance our understanding of communication and improve our communication skills.
Of course, you will not only study, you will also create. There will be many chances to put your learning into practice, such as building your own Google Site and producing a short-form video in English. These projects will help you use new design rules and communication theories to become a more confident and creative communicator.
