    Description
    Advisory: Completion of ENG 099. Intercultural Communication is the study of communication between members of differing cultures and asks a series of questions about the nature of Culture, Western ways of thinking in our approaches to other cultures, and the history of relations among West and East. The course focuses on the relaitonship between culture and communication, emphasizing social psychological variables, verbal and nonverbal language systems, and cross-cultural communication breakdowns. Practical application of intercultural communication principles to contemporary problems of cross-cultural and global communications is stressed, together with an introduction to new and post-colonial redefinitions of our relations with the world.
