课程简介（中英文）：

这门课程旨在培养技能，帮助学生在跨文化交流方面变得更加有经验。无论外语的语法和词汇掌握程度如何，人们常常不确定如何处理文化差异。跨文化经历对个人身份认同和沟通技巧提出了不可避免的挑战。人们必须学会如何应对意外情况、模糊性以及由此产生的文化冲突或文化冲击。成功进行跨文化交流所需的知识、技能和态度，必须通过观察、讨论和实践来学习。本课程希望通过鼓励使用反思的方法进行关于文化的一般性讨论，帮助参与者在这一过程中取得进步。它涵盖了跨文化交流、语言交际、非语言交际、文化障碍、教育环境中的跨文化交流、商业环境中的跨文化交流、跨文化能力和全球公民意识等主题。

This course aims to develop skills that will help the participants become more experienced in intercultural communication. Regardless of grammatical and lexical competence in foreign languages, it is often the case that people are not sure how to handle cultural difference. Intercultural experiences pose inevitable challenges to one’s personal identity and communication skills. One has to learn how to deal with unexpectedness, ambiguity and otherness as well as the resulting culture bumps or culture shock. The knowledge, skills and attitudes that are necessary for successful intercultural communication have to be observed, discussed and practised. This course wishes to help participants in this process by encouraging general discussions about culture by using a reflective approach. It covers topics such as intercultural communication, verbal communication, nonverbal communication, cultural barriers, intercultural communication in education settings, intercultural communication in business settings, intercultural competence, and global citizenship.
