| Unit Description |
This postgraduate unit explores theoretical approaches and practical applications in the study of communication between people of differing cultural backgrounds. Using case studies from Asia, Europe, Australia and the US, we examine the nature and development of the communicative styles and practices of diverse cultural groups, and their impact on interpersonal communication within and between groups. Particular attention is given to practical strategies for recognising and overcoming intercultural miscommunication, and for improving communication in situations of cultural diversity. Web access is required. |
