Anotace

Poslední úprava: Ulrike Lütke Notarp, Ph.D. (24.01.2022)

The seminar focuses on acquiring and developing intercultural communication competences. By improving our cultural sensitivity we will develop an attitude that sees diversity as an opportunity rather than a danger. We try to analyze and understand our cultural and communicative specific behavior, search for and explain cultural differences.
In the second part students get acquainted with Geert Hofstede´s concept of "Cultural dimensions". Students present central aspects of this concept in form of group-presentations (powerpoint). The presentations serve as a basis for further discussion in class.
In the third part of the seminar we develop a more conscious communicative behavior by means of discussing "case studies", teamwork and role-playings. It will be asked, what we should change in our "normal" communicative behavior in order to succeed in intercultural communication situations.

The seminar focuses on acquiring and developing intercultural communication competences.

The seminar is not primarily concerned with the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, but rather with the acquisition of practical skills in intercultural communication situations. Students should therefore be ready to actively participate in role-playings, participate in discussions and present a (theoretical) concept of culture in class.
