課程簡述	Focus of this course: Development of intercultural communicative competence through critical dialogues between the East and the Western cultures. Studies in the global arena bring forth bountiful opportunities for different cultures to engage in various forms of intercultural dialogues, therefore the development of intercultural communication competence is crucial when cultures meet and interact. This course aims to help students develop abilities and competencies to recognize the similarities and differences of diversified cultural dimensions. Students who participate in this course will observe local cultural events and use them as opportunities to gain insights into the relationship to their own culture by critically engaging in a dialogue between their culture and the target culture. Students will engage in different cultural interpretations by analyzing, exploring, and conducting research through cross-cultural dialogues, case studies, and interviews. It will also enhance students' organizational expression, critical thinking ability, cognition, understanding, analysis, reflection, and critical ability on their own culture, thus achieving the ultimate goal of intercultural dialogue in cross-cultural interactions.
