    Course description: Given that most professional sectors depend on the promotion of goods, services, organizations, electoral campaigns, and tourism and that this field has grown and evolved exponentially with the rise of technology and globalization, language students will benefit from an overview of effective techniques used in English for fostering knowledge.

    This one semester course covers the history and basic principles of professional Public Relations and content creation.   Students will be using their oral and written skills individually and in small groups.  Elements of marketing, networking, and social media will be included in the overall scope. Case studies, campaigns and the related various text types used will be analyzed.  Particular attention will be given to the language used for persuasion and the different target audiences involved in this vast area of professional English.

    Many of the skills necessary for the working world are related to networking and problem-solving.
