Tridem Dates: 3 times between (1) and (2); 3 times between (2) and (3)/(4), therefore you meet more often in small groups than as a class.

This course is designed as a hands-on intercultural English course that brings together students from multiple countries to exchange ideas in virtual teams on issues of global importance. While practicing academic and intercultural communication skills, the teams of three or four will discuss topics such as:

Ø    Cultural Stereotypes
Ø    Sustainability
Ø    Public Health
Ø    Equal Opportunity (such as Racism and Poverty)
Ø    Freedom of Speech (such as in Social Media)

Presentations and research for roles in two panel discussions will be prepared independently and with teams prior to meetings in Zoom. Also prior to presentations you will do reading and/or listening to prepare for an informed discussion.

In addition, we will reflect on effective communication in an international academic environment. Developing such global skills is a prerequisite for tackling urgent global concerns.

The course is designed to have students “learn by doing” by putting students through typical situations you may face when abroad in order to reinforce grammatical foundations as well as refresh and expand on basic vocabulary.
