In the class, students will look at the concept of well-being from different perspectives, exploring the universality yet individualization of the well-being-seeking process on a daily basis, for example taking into account language and ways/wants/anxieties of communication, affective factors and their impact on communication. In the exercises and discussions, we will refer to current realities, e.g. talking about Generation Z, language inclusivity, language acquisition and multilingualism, digital body language, emotionality and various aspects of the self (for example. self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-regulation, etc.), without which well-being cannot be built and developed. Exercises will be designed so that people studying in different fields of study can demonstrate their knowledge and share their experiences. This will be realized through a task/problem-based method and group/pair work, often using visual thinking, graphic facilitation and digital tools to facilitate group activation. Students will be stimulated to work on their own and self-development through the design of mini research projects and the analysis of selected topical source texts, literature from the intersection of the humanities and social sciences, research tools in psycholinguistics, glottodidactics, etc., and digital sources in the form of TED lectures, science podcasts, mind maps and sketchnotes.
The module will be implemented in a standard cycle.
Classes will be held on Mondays, duration of classes: 1.5 h; within time period between 1.45 pm and 8.30 pm. Starting time will be announced later.
