【授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか） / Outline and objectives】
The world of social media has led to a revolution in how we express ourselves and interact with others; the way we consume and disseminate information grows ever more complex. This increased use of computer-mediated communication means that analysis is now more critical than ever. This course aims to make sense of our digital lives by joining the dots between language, the parts of the web we use in daily life and its impact on our world.
【到達目標 / Goal】
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
• Understand the use of social media from an academic perspective
• Engage in scholarly discussion about social media, using appropriate ideas and terminology
• Interpret linguistic analysis on social media discourse
• Consider the wider social implications of the lives we lead online

The classes will be a mixture of lecture-based teaching and discussion, with students invited to share their own experiences. Each week we will actively engage with a social, political or ethical question regarding social media use and how it shapes our world. We will also look at the theoretical approaches scholars use to investigate the impact of the language we use on the web.
