Overview
At English and New Media Studies from Auckland University of Technology you explore the increasingly important nexus between new media and spoken, written or visual communication in English.
Your research project could involve the development of game or transmedia narratives. It could investigate social media or other forms of web communication - including internet memes and fake news - for issues of power and identity, or to identify emerging language trends. It might also examine the use and impact of virtual or augmented reality for language learning and teaching.
