Academic Literacy for Communication Students: English in The Era of Global Media and Artificial Intelligence – Mashadi Said

English has become an indispensable medium of knowledge exchange in the contemporary academic world. In the fields of media and communication, where information travels across borders instantly and discourse unfolds within global digital networks, the ability to engage with academic texts in English is no longer optional—it is essential. Communication students today are expected not only to understand theories and research but also to articulate ideas, analyze media discourse, and participate in scholarly conversations that increasingly occur in English. This book, Academic Literacy for Communication Students: English in the Era of Global Media and Artificial Intelligence, is designed to support that need. It aims to help students develop the academic literacy required to read, write, analyze, and communicate ideas effectively in English within the discipline of communication studies. Academic literacy in this context goes beyond grammar and vocabulary; it involves critical reading, structured argumentation, ethical use of sources, and the ability to engage with complex academic discussions.
