Class Objectives
/Class Outline    This course is designed to acquire knowledge on social theories related to intercultural understanding and social phenomena from multiple perspectives.  Intercultural understanding has become critical issue today, which is often discussed with the issues of intercultural communication, global society, multicultural society, social theories including feminist theories, and internationalization of university and local society.
   The course covers cross-cultural experiences and culture shock as well as theories on intercultural understanding including debates on cultural essentialism. Culture is examined from various perspectives, such as essence of culture, value system, self concept, verbal and non-verbal message, interpersonal relationships, organization and culture, and adjustment and readjustment. Through the examination of actual cases of international students’ experiential learning and cooperative learning to collaborate with local society, students are expected to develop the analysis on theories on intercultural understanding and knowledge construction from multiple perspectives, and to create their own practical designs.
