APPROACHES TO INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE

CONSTANTINESCU Cezar（グローバル教育センター講師）

受賞のコメント

This course was offered for the first time at Sophia University in the fall of 2015 and I was lucky to have a group of students as the pioneer group who through their hard work and enthusiasm made this course a success. I am very happy to see that the students appreciated the focus on cooperative analysis of texts and curiosity-driven research despite the challenge of having to do all this in a foreign language.

The positive feedback which led to the Good Practice award is a great motivation and I am looking forward to many more courses like this.

講義概要

In this course we investigate the different approaches to intercultural competence, take a look at where we encounter the term in education and training in different countries and think about it from a teacher’s and a learner’s perspective. The big question we will try to answer is: "Can intercultural competence be taught at all?" If not, how can one acquire the necessary skills that the scientific, corporate and political world demand?

The course is directed towards foreign language learners, future language teachers and students with a focus/interest in education, sociology, applied linguistics and politics.
