Modules

Introduction to Intercultural Communication (20 Credits) - Core
The module’s overall aim is to provide a critical introduction to the study of inter- and cross-cultural communication. It focuses on the theoretical as well as on the experiential dimension of intercultural communication. Central importance is given to people’s lived experiences, how they shape intercultural encounters between individuals from different backgrounds, and how they support us to reflect on and negotiate our understanding of the world, identities and attitudes to ‘the other’. Students will be encouraged to take part in structured individual and small group online activities (e.g. discussions on Canvas). These will support the creation of an inclusive learning environment and encourage participation whilst accounting for the multiple skills and experiences brought by the students themselves. Students will be given an up-to-date reading list in line with current CCC/ICC research from multiple global contexts and across higher education systems. The module will also draw on multimedia and digital resources (e.g. blog posts) to encourage engagement with ‘real life’ examples of CCC/ICC.
