This study explores the nuanced language features essential for composing pop science communication on physics by physics students in their third year at university. The aim is to equip these students with the skills to effectively communicate controversial ideas to the public through opinion articles, podcasts, and mini TED-style talks. Unique language aspects include incorporating cutting-edge, insider physics topics while ensuring clarity for lay audiences without oversimplifying the science in physics. Such skills are crucial for physics students, recognizing that not all will pursue careers in physics but will instead leverage their physics knowledge in diverse professions. This research investigates the challenges associated with teaching such a course and explores effective pedagogical approaches. The paper also elucidates how assignments, including podcasts, opinion pieces, and mini TED-style talks, are meticulously structured to yield positive educational outcomes and enhance the teaching process.
