Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course is concerned with the discourse-analytic study of social media, such as social-network sites, blogs, microblogs and forums. Since language represents the most important form of online interaction, and online contexts, in turn, are exerting a key influence on how we talk, learn languages and think about language, critically engaging with online communicative practices is crucially important for language learners and aspiring language teachers. This course will familiarize students with key theoretical concepts from literature on social media discourse and identity and introduce them to pragmatic approaches to studying the language used in online contexts. On this basis, students will study linguistic data to address specific research areas in more depth in the form of either a VK project or a BEd thesis project.
