Communication in theory and practice 3300-KTP(KS)-OG
The classes are intended to expand knowledge about communication and apply it in practice by developing effective communication skills in English. We will discuss the elements of communication (participants, language and other codes, context) and its functions (informational, emotive, conative). We will consider the impact of various factors on message comprehension and effectiveness, such as accessibility of context, knowledge of non-linguistic conventions of politeness, and elements of direct and implicit communication. Each topic will be applied to practical situations frequently encountered in a workplace, social media, and in other interactions., particularly effective and informed communication.
The course focuses on the development of the social-entrepreneurial competences, especially communication skills.
