講義概要/Course description
Intercultural Communication
We carry beliefs and patterns of behavior that consciously and unconsciously influence how we will react when faced with the “other.” This course is meant to help students become more “other-aware” through studying about various dimensions of culture and intercultural issues, and more “self-aware” by experientially uncovering their own deeply held beliefs. Self-awareness will be encouraged by carrying out simulations of intercultural encounters, performing problem-solving exercises, and by using a variety of assessment tools developed by Intercultural Communication specialists. Guest speakers will be invited to speak to us on issues ranging from cultural adjustment and mental health to how to cope in multicultural business settings.
