Overview

As media becomes highly diversified, communication, involving the processes and effects of social interaction, has become an important area of research in recent years. This course is designed for students who are seeking high-level and focused understanding of communication, including not only face-to-face everyday interpersonal communication through language, but also multimodal interaction through various media, ranging from literary genres (e.g., poems, prose, and novels) to popular culture genres (e.g., films, manga, anime, and dramas). Language, Media and Communication is offered at Kyushu University.

Career:

Many of the students who completed this course work for research or educational institutions at various levels, ranging from high schools, universities, and private Japanese language schools, to international foundations, and major companies in Japan and Japanese companies abroad.
