授業の目的・方法
/Course Objectives and method
Inter-Cultural Communication (ICC)
When people communicate their ideas and opinions with others from the same culture, there are usually no problems. However, when two people with different cultural backgrounds communicate, it is much easier for cultural problems to occur ― even when the content of the talk is not difficult. Individual, cultural, and environmental differences play a large role. In this class, we will discuss these differences and why problems occur. We will also study ways that these problems may be alleviated.
