＜概要/Course Content Summary＞

In this course students will be encouraged to think about the ways in which people from different cultural， ethnic， religious or social backgrounds communicate with one another， as well as the role of culture in influencing an individual’s identity and their notions of what is ‘right and wrong’ or ‘appropriate and inappropriate’ in their interactions with others. The course will cover differing notions of politeness， gender roles and non-verbal communication. Concrete examples of misunderstandings， as well as strategies for overcoming differences and avoiding conflict will also be discussed.　
　
In addition to doing academic research， students are encouraged to conduct practical empirical research where possible. They can conduct surveys and interviews of people (including fellow students) from different backgrounds in order to apply to concrete cases the theoretical models learned in the classroom.　

＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞

Students will develop their skills in research， analysis of information and ability to express their work in written and verbal forms. They will also develop practical strategies to overcome intercultural misunderstandings.
