Various principles and techniques relevant to intercultural communication situations such as cultural differences in communication style, problem-solving, and non-verbal communication will be investigated. Through experiential exercises and group work, students will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have gained as well as to test and improve their own communication skills.
