Overall description learning objectives

The described learning objectives for knowledge, skills and competences will be supported by the specific forms of instruction and work methods as described below. At the same time the forms of instruction and work methods are organised in accordance with the form of examination as described under Examination requirements, which is considered to be the most appropriate frame for testing the student´s fulfilment of the learning objectives of the subject.

Learnings objectives - Knowledge

At the end of the course, students should be able to

  •  demonstrate familiarity with various theories of communication and cultural concepts as well as to the function of communication in intercultural encounters. 

Learning objectives - Skills

At the end of the course, students should be able to

  •  apply the above-named theories and concepts in analyses of intercultural communication as well as evaluate and discuss the applied theory frameworks´ strengths and weaknesses. 
  • master communication in the intercultural encounter. 

Learning objectives - Competences

At the end of the course, students should be able to
  • deal with cross-cultural cooperation and conflicts. 

Content

Cultural concepts and communication theories that constitute the basis for various theories of intercultural communication will be examined. The theories may be applied to an examination of analyses of intercultural communication in the foreign language area (for example, between minorities and majorities, or an organisation's internal cultural diversity) and/or between the foreign language area and Denmark. Additionally, the subject will include discussions of identity and stereotype formation with particular reference to their function and problems in intercultural communication, as well as group dynamics and management of cooperation and conflicts across cultures. In addition, the significance of intercultural skills will be introduced - cognitive, affective and behavioural skills. Problematic issues regarding linguistic resources (for example, multilingualism and a lingua franca) may be incorporated.

Forms of instruction and work

Teaching in the course may take place in the following forms: lectures, case-oriented instruction, discussions, group work, as well as reviewing proposed solutions to the case assignments in the form of panel discussions.

Teaching is organised in such a way as to support the humanities model for active learning and activating teaching, cf. section Didactic, pedagogical basis and contact to research environment in the curriculum. The teacher must inform students about how study activities are organised on commencement of teaching. 

The teaching of the course activates the student in the following teaching spaces/learning spaces:

  • Teaching space where the university teacher has the responsibility for planning and is present
  • Study space where the university teacher has the responsibility for planning but is not present
  • Teaching space where the university teacher is present but the students have the responsibility for planning specific sub-activities
  • Study space where the students have the responsibility for planning, and the university teacher is not present
