Welcome to Communicating across Cultures! The sessions are planned for Thursdays in block 2 (10.15 – 11.45 a.m.), the venue is building 4, room 107 and the kick-off date is 27 October.
This course is going to provide you with knowledge, skills and attitudes, without which optimally performing in a globalised world is nearly impossible.
Communicating across Cultures is not a lecture. It is an interactive seminar, which implies that students’ attendance and active participation are pivotal to its success. The language of communication is English, but instead of addressing grammar, vocabulary and phonology issues, we’ll attempt to develop your cultural intelligence. This course provides a risk-free setting, where you can express yourself freely, with no fear of making mistakes or, even worse, of being penalised in any way for your language errors.
What makes Communicating across Cultures special is its relaxed, informal atmosphere, together with a return to genuine, human-to-human communication, without any interference from technology. Instead of staring at PowerPoint slides, you’ll talk openly with your lecturer and fellow students, debate ideas, voice opinions and share your personal experiences – the ultimate goal being the acquisition of an essential life skill: effective functioning in any international setting.
Looking forward to meeting you!
