DESCRIPTION
In this course, students will develop an understanding of the dynamics between different media types and language use. Specifically, the affordances of the medium determine possibilities for communication between participants and the ways in which language is used. During the course, students will learn to analyse the form and context of media messages using different communication theories, such as uncertainty reduction theory, media equation theory, and technological determinism.
