COMM 3437 - Talk At Work

Institution:

Fairleigh Dickinson University-College at Florham

Subject:

Description:

This course explores how communication constitutes the work that people do in a variety of professional contexts, including medical care, emergency service, legal interrogation, broadcasting, public hearings, and political press conferences. Students will study talk in these contexts to discern how it is organized to accomplish certain tasks, what constitutes procedures and best practices, and how talk can serve multiple functions, from getting help to getting information, along with getting along and getting the job done. The approach of the class is practical and applied; students are engaged in analytical excercises geared toward sharpening their communication skills and heightening their awareness of how talk works.
