Course objectives
Assertive behaviour is one of the components of successful and easy communication and is one of the major soft skills of the 21st century. Multilingualism is the norm when it comes to the linguistic equipment of our society. In this course, we will introduce multilingual minds from the perspective of psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics and highlight the possible advantages and disadvantages of multilingualism. We will also take a look at multilingual speakers from the perspective of European language policy and show how this perspective affects language learning. In this course you will develop your linguistic and socio-cultural competences. You will learn how to develop the skills to express your own ideas, beliefs and needs with respect for other people, how to react in a conflict or uncomfortable situation, how to prevent provocation or manipulative techniques in communication and, last but not least, how to calmly defend your own boundaries. The course consists of two parts and involves working on assertiveness not only from a psychological point of view, but also in terms of language clichés, which also increases confidence in communication.

- understand how the multilingual mind works;
