What You'll Learn
ELG254 Intercultural Communication examines verbal and non-verbal communication practices in intercultural and cross-cultural contexts. The course will help students develop a critical understanding of how culture can shape our behaviour, including the ways we use language, and how conflicts may arise when members of different discourse communities interact. Students will be introduced to key theories and concepts in intercultural communication and will have opportunities to apply them to case studies of real-life communication in multicultural and multilingual contexts. Through analysis of actual communicative events, students will develop sensitivity towards challenges in intercultural communication and the ability to use language to negotiate and manage cultural diversity in various social and professional contexts.
