The Role of Language in Intercultural Communication
Are you interested in intercultural communication? In this course, you get to reflect upon and process your own experiences of cross-linguistic communication together with students from other Nordic universities.
During the course, you will learn more about intercultural communication, in particular its linguistic aspects. Other important themes are, for example, communicative norms and communicative biases.
This is a distance learning course offered in collaboration between the University of Helsinki, the University of Iceland, the University of Copenhagen and Stockholm University.
The language of instruction is English.
