Course Description: The course aims to develop students’ intercultural competence for the globalized world where English has become the common medium for international communication.

Upon completing the course, students will be able to: - understand the fluidity and multiplicity of English use in intercultural communication by using diverse verbal and non-verbal communication strategies - develop an open and curious attitude toward one’s own culture as well as those of other cultures. - acquire knowledge of one’s own cultural practice and perspectives as well as those of other cultures - critically evaluate perspectives, practices, and products in one’s own and other’s cultures. - reflect on their own culture through understanding cultural differences - expand their repertoire of human relationships.
