Course Details: This is a course on conversational pragmatics (how we use language, beyond the words we use) in which we will learn about cognitive, psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, and linguistic theories about language use and understanding in a cross cultural context. In this class, we will learn about the importance of ambiguity and miscommunication to promote successful and engaging communication. I will teach you to be the best miscommunicator, so you can be the best communicator you can be!

What did students think?

"This course allowed me to really delve deeper into the experience, using communication and miscommunication in a way that helped me grow."

"Sometimes when we limit ourselves to our familiar spaces, we miss out on experiences that could allow us to emerge in cultural environment that differ from our own. … I didn't want to regret missing out on this experience and I am so glad I didn't!"
