Course description
This course builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in COMU1002 and POLS2224. It provides students with a theoretical framework for analysing intercultural communication and evaluating intercultural competence (in particular their own), and provides an opportunity for debriefing both during and after study abroad. Students acquire advanced skills in intercultural problem-solving and communicate their learning journey so as to enhance the understanding of others. Students complete the first semester of this year-long course online and have a choice to complete the second semester on campus at St Lucia or online.
