Capstone Seminar in Intercultural Competence

Catalog description

This course serves as the final capstone course for the Certificate in Intercultural Competence. Students will connect the skills, attitudes and knowledge developed throughout the course work and experiential learning component of the Certificate to their future goals. Students will work on synthesizing all components of the Certificate through weekly discussions, simulations and case studies. Research topics and group discussions are designed to continue conversations that extend the work that began in the required foundation course LANG0800 The Theory and Practice of Intercultural Competence. Students will prepare a multi-modal presentation, and have the option of presenting a portfolio in a digital format, a podcast or a video, of the work they have completed along their journey towards intercultural competence. Students will participate in a public presentation session in order to share their work and engage the wider language-learning community on-campus.
