"Description is a course designed for international students to deepen their
intercultural communication competencies, while honing their writing and
presentation skills in English. Students will study intercultural competence theories
and explore the intersectional issues of race, religion, gender, language, as they
apply to cultural identity and social justice.
In addition to Intercultural theory, students will be introduced to “multiple
intelligences” (as defined by Howard Gardner), and consider multiple ways in which
we communicate and receive information. The course will allow students to
consider the complexities related to cultural identity and how to further hone their
intercultural communication skills in various contexts."
