| GY7009 Intercultural communication 3 cr |
Aims and Content
The aim of this course is to raise the students’ level of awareness of the different in communicative practices in different cultures and what consequences these differences might have in intercultural communication. The course will encourage the students to be critical about stereotypes in the language and thinking. With the help of discussions and role plays, the aim is to activate the students and help them to become effective communicators also in intercultural situations.
The course begins with a short introduction to communication theory. Against this background we look at some culturally differences in communicative practices, both with respect to verbal and nonverbal communication. Some wider cultural typologies will also be discussed, such as the difference between individualistic and collectivistic cultures. We look at what happens when the communicative patterns of two cultures are in conflict, and ponder how such cultural clashes could be prevented with the help of increased communicative skills.
