Skrócony opis:

The aim of the course is to look at all aspects of the body language (non-verbal communication) in various situations in everyday life. Knowing the elements of body language and their functions one can not only improve the interpersonal communication, but also to make his/her professional life successful. Non-verbal communication is not merely replacement or accompaniment of verbal communication, but a very important complementary element of it. Specialists believe that in the situation of dissonance between the verbal and non-verbal signals referring to the same message, the latter one is true.
Pełny opis:

We will base on the research conducted by Paul Ekman, Desmond Morris, as well on the observations and analyses of body language experts (see film documents given in the section “literature”). In the second part of the course we will see, how the results of Ekman’s research were used in the series "Lie to Me". We will try to indicate inaccuracies that appear in the presented material and bring in examples from our own experience.

During the course the practical side of nonverbal communication will be emphasized - with elements of workshop. It is also intended to use multicultural environment which will be created by the participants themselves. However, it will depend on the participants of the course.

1. The meaning of body language.

Forma i warunki zaliczenia:

(tylko po angielsku) Written examination (short answers to open questions) at the end

of the winter semester in the period stated in the regulations of

the Jagiellonian University. To pass the final examination it is

required to obtain at least 60%. The student can take the

examination, if s/he:

• was prepared to the classes;

• participated in the course actively (among the others took part in the

discussions on the material the students were asked to prepare).

The students will be asked to prepare some materials (mostly to watch films, but sometimes they might be asked to write a short homework or read an article, also to analyze body language in a very short film) for every class, and then we will discuss them.

Therefore it is very important that the participants:

• have sufficient command of English;

• are present in the class;

• are active in the class.

All students are expected to attend classes regularly. Students might

be absent from the class 3 times during the semester with 15

classes. If there are less than 15 classes (due to the university

authorities’ regulations), less absences are admissible, e.g. 14

meetings, students might be absent 2 times. If a student is

absent more than admissible times because of serious illness,

s/he should deliver an appropriate official document as soon as

possible, and will be asked either to come and discuss the

material which s/he missed while absent in the class or to deliver

a written work. The student will have 2 weeks for doing this. If a

student is absent more than 5 times (if there are 15 classes

during the semester) s/he will be not admitted to an examination

and will not complete the course. The participants of the course

are kindly requested to come to the first meeting, because there

will be given the detailed conditions of the course completion.

The realisation of the course programme will start at the first

meeting.
