| Unit Description |
This unit is about communication between people of differing cultural backgrounds. It covers principles of cross-cultural communication, how problems can arise, and what can be done to overcome them. Case studies are drawn from Australia and the US, Asia, and Europe. The approach is linguistically-oriented but assumes no prior knowledge of linguistics. Students learn how to apply linguistic methods to understand and improve cross-cultural communication. You do not need to know any other language to do this unit. The unit is supported by a variety of online tools including online assessment. Web access is essential. |
