Intercultural Communications

What Students Learn

Using English as the main language of practice, students explore how cultural contexts influence communication and interpretation. Cases and discussions examine communication habits and expectations, developing explanations of misunderstanding and approaches that respect differences.

Learning Focus

1. Culture and expression: contextual influences on language choices

2. Communication habits: direct expression and contextual information

3. Misunderstanding and negotiation: analyze cases and develop responses

4. Intercultural collaboration: listen to perspectives and explain positions

Learning Outcomes

Students identify cultural assumptions, examine judgments drawn from limited experience, and communicate perspectives across contexts. Intercultural understanding and reflection provide foundations for international exchange and collaboration.
