Description

On this course you will examine the idea of intercultural contact and the effects of cultural interactions from historical and global perspectives. Through videos and articles, you will discover how intercultural contact is experienced in our everyday lives, and learn about the ways in which people develop intercultural competence.

As the course progresses, you’ll consider terms such as ‘globalisation’ and ‘acculturation’, explore the relationship between nationality and culture, and compare different experiences of returning ‘home’ following periods of absence.

Intercultural contact?

In this activity, you will explore intercultural contact over time. You will be introduced to models that attempt to describe what happens when cultures interact.

Intercultural competence?

In this activity, you explore ‘intercultural competence’ – the ability to interact effectively across cultures. You will consider the ‘KASA’ model, which suggests attributes needed to develop intercultural competence.

Analysing intercultural contact?

In this activity, you look at how to use key moments of intercultural contact to analyse cultural interaction. This includes contact that causes discomfort or embarrassment – so called ‘critical incidents’ and ‘rich points’.
