The second part aims to familiarize students with the concepts of mass communication theory. Studying this discipline allows students, firstly, to deepen the knowledge acquired in other subjects, primarily in the linguistic field, and secondly, to acquire essential knowledge and skills for professional activities in relevant fields. The classes are conducted in the form of lectures, practical sessions, and self-study. The purpose of self-study is to guide students and provide them with additional materials for preparation before practical sessions. The discipline concludes with a pass/fail assessment in the first semester.
