Intercultural Communication for University

These sessions aim to enhance your awareness of how language and culture can affect communication, and  to improve your communication skills to be more effective when working with people from a range of backgrounds.

Upon completion of the course, you will have gained knowledge of what intercultural communication is and why it is important. Through the ideas and activities engaged with, you will become more self-aware of how your experiences have influenced the choices you make when interacting with others. You will also gain a greater understanding of what influences your perceptions of others, and how others could perceive your communicative choices. Overall, the two sessions aim to bring together awareness (e.g. knowledge of others, ideas and orientations), practice (enhancing intercultural communicative competence) and understanding (empathy, patience and tolerance).
