Abstract
The course will equip students with linguistic and extralinguistic tools and strategies that will make them effective communicators in the field of their specialisation at the proficiency level of communicative competence. Students will master instruments of discourse analysis and apply them to the study of professional discourse. They will use artificial intelligence tools and generative models for natural language processing, text creation and analysis. Students will create multimodal content of individual pragmatic value.
