【Course Contents】

This course aims to deepen students’ understanding of communication by analyzing various forms of communication, such as written, spoken, and visual messages, across a range of media platforms. These include printed and audio materials, letters, emails, video clips, films, social media, and other digital content.

Students will learn basic communication theories and apply them in both individual and group projects. They will search for, select, and analyze materials of their choice, and explain how these materials are structured to communicate meaning. As a final project, students will create their own digital material to communicate a message.
