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. 

Students will be expected to participate actively in an online virtual exchange we will have with students at a partnering university.

事前学習/Preparation A modest amount of reading will be required before each class and the development of intercultural simulation "games" will be prepared in conjunction with classmates. Two intercultural simulations will be expected from each student. Before they create them, many examples will be provided in class by the teacher.
事後学習/Reviewing Students will have to reflect on the discussions and presentations that are given in class and on the content of the virtual exchange.

実施形態/Class Method 通常型 / regular
補足事項/Supplementary notesThere will be ample opportunities for students to apply what they are learning to their own lives, learn about each other, and exercise their creativity through the creation of intercultural simulations and sensitizers.

The plan is for this seminar to be taught face-to-face...not online. However, an LMS (online learner management system) will be used for the course. The first lesson of the semester will be on-demand.
