Intercultural Communication in Professional Contexts

The course intends to describe and analyze the ways to achieve the goals of communicating professionally in an intercultural context. With the work place and the labor market being more and more a global experience, communication skills and their development demand intercultural awareness and intercultural strategies. The course focuses on class discussion, students´ reflection and practical cases rather than lecture lessons. Topics and contents will arise from weekly readings and assignments, as well as from audiovisual materials. The final Project includes a paper and a final presentation in class.
