LAS 314MM Intercultural Development for Students a
Intercultural Development for Students Abroad: Identity & Cultural Otherness. Studies have shown that students are likely to gain intercultural sensitivity/awareness/competence more quickly and more efficiently during their time abroad if equipped with a theoretical framework within which they can analyze and interpret their experiences (VandeBerg, et. al. 2009). The aim of this course is to provide tools and activities that will allow students to reflect upon and analyze their intercultural experience and to help them discover its transformative potential (Savicki 2008). The course will invite students to reflect on their own identity/multiplicity/cultural references and will introduce different concepts that will help them to better understand and advance through their own process of intercultural development during their time abroad.
