We live in a more multicultural world than ever before. We face diversity in our everyday life whether it is located in our home country or abroad. Developing individual intercultural skills is therefore essential to enable successful and appropriate communication with people coming from different cultural environments, having different perceptions of life, value systems, rituals and communication patterns. Understanding the significance of culture in every human being’s life – including ourselves - will open the door to being skillful in various intercultural environments.
In the first module (chapters 1 to 4), the course introduces the learners to the various dimensions of communication between cultures. It presents different ways to comprehend cultures according to their deep structures and diverse communication patterns. Issues that create misunderstandings in intercultural interaction will be considered. Through these theoretical and practical observations, another objective of the course will be achieved: development of intercultural skills and competence in diverse multicultural contexts.
In the second module (chapter 5 to 7), the course addresses the students’ need to effectively use various online learning, teamwork and collaboration platforms and tools. Within these three chapters, the course tackles the intercultural communication in the digital world, information and communication technologies used for collaboration while working in teams, e-learning and knowledge sharing platforms, mobile learning and gamification resources and techniques, and ethics and security challenges and solutions in the digital environment.
