Explore contemporary theories on language and culture and consider how our diverse human characteristics influence and shape our own experiences, and those of others.
At the heart of intercultural communication is the study of language, a tool which is essential for enabling communication and understanding between individuals. Linguistic and cultural diversity are becoming increasingly complex and important for making sense of human interactions. This course examines the ramifications of these changes for language, culture and society.
Learn to observe and critique the relationship of intercultural communication as it relates to learning, working, writing, and digital media. Reflect on intercultural communication in your personal lives and look at how these skills are practised and applied in professional and online contexts.
