グローバル教養科目(Intercultural Communication)
Intercultural Communication
Please note that you are assessed on a five-level scale of A+, A, B, C, or F/Fail in this course.
Intercultural communication is a multidisciplinary area of study, linking together many disciplines including communication, linguistics, sociology, anthropology, education, and business. This course focuses on psychological theories and research on the process of communication between people from different cultures. Throughout the course, students will gain an understanding of different theoretical approaches to intercultural communication, and examples of research generated from these perspectives.
Moreover, this course extends beyond theoretical knowledge and aims to equip students with practical communication skills that will benefit their intercultural interactions. In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals of Global Liberal Arts Courses, students will explore the underlying influence of power, prejudice, and oppression in shaping intergroup relations, and learn how to empathically connect and communicate with individuals from different sociocultural backgrounds. Through writing reflection/application papers, as well as engaging in class/group discussions, students are invited to think critically about initiating systemic changes that advocate for social justice in addition to establishing harmonious intergroup/intercultural relationships. In sum, the course strives to (1) cultivate greater intercultural understanding among students that enables them to navigate cross cultural differences more effectively, and (2) promote intercultural communicative competence that facilitates positive intercultural interactions across various spheres of life.
