ACTIVIDADES DOCENTES

Clases teóricas
Rather than being lecture-based, the seminar will encourage active participation by the students by means of collaborative research tasks, oral presentations and class discussion. Students will also be expected to work on selected readings that will be further discussed in class. Practical tasks (such as the creation of questionnaires, data collection and analysis, etc.) will also be part of the methodology employed.

Breve descriptor:

 Political and economic globalisation, together with constant technological advances, has resulted in unprecedented levels of international human mobility. As a result, societies are increasingly intercultural. Intercultural communication, however, poses interlocutors with serious challenges to overcome such as differences in their value systems, diverging communication styles and behaviours. All of them can easily lead to miscommunication and conflict between cultural groups, both within and across societies.

Objetivos

 This seminar is aimed to examine a range of issues relating to the areas of cultural difference and communication across and inter cultures. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the students will be able to raise their own cultural awareness and, as a result, they will be able to approach the complex issue of intercultural communication more at ease.

Contenido

1. Introduction: defining culture and raising cultural awareness
2. Perception: Rituals, stereotypes, beliefs, humour, etc.
3. Dealing with Non-verbal behaviour (kinesics, proxemics, oculesics, haptics, etc.)
4. Intercultural differences: Comparisons between cultures; cultural dimensions, values, norms, behaviour and cultural standards.
5. Intercultural communication: pragmatic expectations and sources of conflict (pragmatic failure)
6. Methodological considerations: Collecting data for intercultural studies (DCTs, Recall Protocols, etc.)
7. Developing intercultural competence: the five savoirs, the Process Model of Intercultural Competence, effective communication in intercultural settings.

Evaluación

Assessment is divided into two blocks:
(i) the first block (60% of the final mark) will be continuous, based on class participation and the realisation of the different tasks proposed throughout the course. Examples of these tasks are:
• Online worksheets (through Campus Virtual)
• Class presentations of an assigned reading
(ii) the second block (40% of the final mark) will consist of the realization of an individual final paper (5000-6000 words) where students will demonstrate a comprehensive and practical application of the concepts seen throughout the seminar
