三、教學目標 Objectives
和來自不同文化背景的團隊一起工作是具有挑戰性的。如果缺乏對對方文化的了解，有可能引發情感的受傷、信心的流失，甚至導致工作的無法運作。本課程主要在幫助學習者辨識並了解文化溝通的不同之處，能在多元文化的環境之下達成較為良好的溝通。

基於上述的原則，本課程的教學目標如下：
1.藉由改善自我的覺察來了解不同文化層次，以及透過自身對更多文化的檢視，來增進溝通的技巧。
2.增強學習者可以與來自不同文化的團隊一起工作的能力以及改善能給予隊友回饋的能力。
3.當有機會和不同文化取向的社會、群體、組織、團隊或個人接觸時，能區辨刻板印象及概念化的不同。
4.能檢視多元與包容如何影響你的公司，並學習如何運用個人貢獻的影響力並促進解決問題的創造力。
Working in a new culture or with a team from a culture other than your own can be nothing short of a series of assorted challenges. A lack of cultural understanding can lead to hurt feelings, lose confidence, and even cause dysfunction. This course, Communication in Cultural Pluralism, aims to assist learners to identify and understand cultural communication differences to prepare for achieving better communication in a culturally diverse environment.

Based upon the principle above, the goals are specifically listed as following:
* Understand different levels of culture by improving self-awareness and communication skills through the examination of your cultural orientation.

* Explore the impact of cultural differences on managerial communications and meeting etiquette.

* Enhance your capacity to work in global teams and improve your ability to give feedback to team members.

* Distinguish the differences between stereotypes and generalizations when assigning particular cultural orientations to a society, group, organization, team, or individual.

* Examine how global diversity and inclusion will impact your company, and learn how to leverage individual contributions to foster creative problem-solving.
四、課程內容 Course Description
●整體敘述 Overall Description
This course brings together current or emerging strands and themes in the field by examining how communication across cultures permeates our everyday life, what we can do to achieve effective and appropriate intercultural communication, and why we study language, culture and identity together. The focus is on interactions between people from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and regards intercultural communication as a process of negotiating meaning, cultural identities,
and – above all – differences between ourselves and others.
