IT contagion
Teaching module for secondary schools 3 March – 17 March 2021
With the development of new technologies and social networks in recent years, we have witnessed a significant intensification of the (ab)use of language aimed at ‘guiding’ public opinion, both in advertising and in institutional communications. This educational and interactive course aims to provide students with the linguistic tools to ‘unveil’ these forms of communication and acquire greater awareness in the use of these communication tools.
With Nicola Grandi.
