"Basic Studies in Intercultural Communication" is an English speaking course specially designed for international and ERASMUS students. Based on the different backgrounds of the group we are going to discuss theories and mechanism on/of culture and intercultural communication. Different aspects of day-to-day interaction as well as communication in the university context will be examined and the current experiences of the participants will be discussed in class. In this course, students will get more aware of their linguistic and social behaviour and will know how to cope with intercultural challenges.
