Cíle předmětu
The main goal is to develop students' intercultural skills and the capacity to fully engage with diversity in and out of the classroom. By diversity we mean individual as well as group differences that students and teachers bring into the learning environment (for example, personal history, life experience, educational background, learning style, race, ethnicity, religion, language, socioeconomic status, country of origin, and sexual orientation). Students will learn how to engage in and facilitate intercultural interactions and create a collaborative learning environment in which they will see a purpose as well as reward in working together and across differences.
Výstupy z učení
By the end of the course, students will:
- develop their intercultural attitudes, i.e. respect to others and their cultures: students will become more aware of their identities and will enhance the ability to explore their identities in relation to the identities of others; they will be able to recognize the identities of others and affirm their self-esteem so that they feel secure in their identities.
- develop their intercultural skills: students will improve the ability to analyze and reflect their own cultural assumptions and become aware how one’s own cultural worldviews are the basis of interpretations of others’ ideas and behaviors; they will enhance the ability to attempt to see the world from the perspective of another and their ability to analyze, interpret and relate to others before forming judgement; students will also improve their skill to manage their own anxiety in the face of uncertainty and develop tolerance for ambiguity.
- be able to recognize and engage with diversity and create interculturally inclusive learning environment: students will be able to recognize the cultural differences of others and will accommodate diverse communication styles; they will demonstrate how to work with different perceptions of experiences and deepen their empathy through facilitated reflections; they will be able to interact with different perspectives and think critically through multiple readings; they will be able to address and work with anxiety producing topics and respond to biased comments and micro agressions triggered by ethnocentric talks.
