COMM 5331

Intercultural Training in Organizations.

Three semester hours.

This course focuses on intercultural understanding and that cultural competence skill development is increasingly important across industries in our global communities. Global workforces are rich with multicultural, multi-ethnic, and multi lingual diversity. Inherent in this diversity is a network of cultural traditions, values, and communication styles. Thus, there is a need for intercultural and diversity training in the corporate world, the nonprofit world, and in education and communication, training. Management experts need to gain a deeper understanding of these diverse values and communication styles in order to work effectively with and train colleagues and clients. This course will illustrate intercultural concepts and processes that require training, including culture shock and adaptation, cultural dialectics, expatriate/repatriation, self-reflexivity, etc. You will practice the tools and skills you need to train on these concepts, including conducting needs assessments, defining learning outcomes, and designing and facilitating intercultural training.
