Abstract

Undergraduate students in the 21^st century need to understand both the process of expressing their opinions and that of the critical acceptance of those opinions utilizing digital media. They also need to recognize the linguistic characteristics and linguistic expressions that are used in digital media in the language of their everyday lives.
Since undergraduate students are both receivers of information utilizing digital media language and producers of new digital information, they should develop communication skills that better correspond to the language that they use in their offline lives. Hence, it is necessary to open liberal arts courses for the purpose of fostering more effective communication skills utilizing digital media.
In keeping in line with the daily life and practical needs of undergraduate students living in the digital age, the writer developed a course (Digital Culture and Language) in the first semester of 2020, and has delivered lectures to the present date as part of a balanced (elective) liberal arts course (3/3).
This thesis aims to suggest certain communication education content and to provide class cases utilizing the digital media that appeared in the Digital Culture and Language course, as taught in the second semester of 2021.
