"Description is a course designed for international students to deepen their

intercultural communication competencies, while honing their writing and

presentation skills in English. Students will study intercultural competence theories

and explore the intersectional issues of race, religion, gender, language, as they

apply to cultural identity and social justice.

In addition to Intercultural theory, students will be introduced to “multiple

intelligences” (as defined by Howard Gardner), and consider multiple ways in which

we communicate and receive information. The course will allow students to

consider the complexities related to cultural identity and how to further hone their

intercultural communication skills in various contexts."
