Description

Examines the factors which determine our use of verbal and non-verbal language in social interaction across different cultures. Aims to identity and compare the factors which lead to communication breakdown; the expressions of formality, politeness and emotion in a variety of languages. Also considers the issues involved in intercultural adaptation and the impact on one's identity. Designed to complement courses offered in the School of Modern Language Studies by developing learners' intercultural communications skills.
Note: Lectures will be in English with language specific work offered in tutorials.
