【Course Objectives】

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

1.explain features of their own culture (including customs, attitudes, values, and beliefs) to others.
2.describe other countries’ cultures, and compare and contrast them with their own.
3.negotiate a variety of common situations they are likely to face when abroad.
4.show understanding of changing communication styles in various cultures depending on context (e.g., posture, eye contact, personal space, greetings, levels of politeness), and develop awareness of “global Englishes,” (the ways English is used in other cultures beyond simply British/American).
5.apply knowledge of intercultural communication, and make connections to their own and other cultures in discussions and presentations
6.become accustomed to show cooperative teamwork in discussion and presentations.

【Course Contents】

The main goal of this course is to prepare students for studying abroad by building their intercultural knowledge and communication skills. To achieve this goal, students will learn about other cultures and global varieties of English, discuss how their culture is similar to and different from other cultures, and learn what to do/say in common situations they may face when abroad. This will increase students’ cultural awareness and sensitivity, and reduce culture shock if they travel, work, or study abroad.
