Purposive Communication is about writing,
speaking, and presenting to different audiences and for various purposes (CMO
20 s. 2013). It 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 multicultural 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 may be used in their other
academic endeavors, their chosen disciplines, and their future careers, as
compose and produce relevant oral, written, audio-visual and/or web-based
output for various purposes.
