COMM 120 — F Intercultural Communication 3 Units
54 hours lecture per term. This course explores the variables of human symbolic interaction as they occur between persons of differing cultural orientations. The course is theoretical in nature, but will also deal with applied social science practices for more successful interaction with other cultures. The scope of the content will encompass the basic areas necessary to involve the student in a critical assessment of how cultures differ in both verbal and nonverbal behaviors; how needs, values, and goals are dictated by cultural influences; how interactions can be improved between cultures through a perceptual awareness of these differences.
