Purposive
Communication is a three-unit course that develops students’ communicative
competence and enhances their cultural and intercultural awareness through
multimodal tasks that provide them opportunities for communicating effectively
and appropriately to a multi-cultural audience in a local or global context. It
equips students with tools for critical evaluation of a variety of texts and
focuses on the power of language and the impact of images to emphasize the
importance of conveying messages responsibly. The knowledge, skills, and
insights that students gain
from this course maybe used in their other academic endeavors, their chosen
disciplines, and their future careers as they compose and produce relevant
oral, written, audio-visual and/or web-based output for various purposes.
