Intercultural communication is communication between people of different cultures . Intercultural communication refers to a process where people from different cultures share meanings. It can be symbolic, interpretive and transactional.
Intercultural communication is becoming a vital skill set as business, education and relationships become increasingly global.
It is important to learn how to deal with cultural differences when you interact with international students, whether they are studying abroad, traveling, or working in multinational offices.
This course will teach you how to recognize your cultural identity and those of others, as well as the cultural assumptions that we all hold, the nuances and potential for cross-cultural interaction and (mis)understanding. Learn about different communication styles and how they can differ from one country to the next. Also, learn how to adapt and assess diverse situations.
