Objectives and Contents
Objectives of the Course Unit The aim of this course is to give students information about intercultural communication theories, to gain sensitivity to cultural differences and an intercultural perspective that they will consider in their daily lives, to show how to analyze intercultural communication situations
Contents of the Course Unit The course will start with an introduction to intercultural communication, then culture and communication will be handled. In the following weeks; Culture shock, Barriers to Interpersonal Communication, Context, Perception and Competence, introduction to intercultural Competence, Cultural Patterns and Communication, Taxonomies, Cultural identity and Biases, verbal & nonverbal intercultural communication, Intercultural Competence in the Interpersonal Relationships and finally Episodes, contexts, and intercultural Interactions will be studied.
Contribution of the Course Intending to Provide the Professional Education With this course, probable communication problems that students may experience when they go to different cultures or when they meet individuals from different cultures will be minimized. This course will also help students from different cultures in their social integration process, and help them adapt to the foreign culture that they live in. This course will also help students' adaptation processes and minimize the probable communication barriers that they may face if they continue their business life abroad.

EBS : Kıbrıs İlim Üniversitesi Eğitim Öğretim Bilgi Sistemi Kıbrıs İlim Üniversitesi AKTS Bilgi Paketi AKTS Bilgi Paketi ECTS Information Package Avrupa Kredi Transfer Sistemi (AKTS/ECTS), Avrupa Yükseköğretim Alanı (Bologna Süreci) hedeflerini destekleyen iş yükü ve öğrenme çıktılarına dayalı öğrenci/öğrenme merkezli öğretme ve öğrenme yaklaşımı çerçevesinde yükseköğretimde uluslarası saydamlığı arttırmak ve öğrenci hareketliliği ile öğrencilerin yurtdışında gördükleri öğrenimleri kendi ülkelerinde tanınmasını kolaylaştırmak amacıyla Avrupa Komisyonu tarafından 1989 yılında Erasmus Programı (günümüzde Yaşam Boyu Öğrenme Programı) kapsamında geliştirilmiş ve Avrupa ülkeleri tarafından yaygın olarak kabul görmüş bir kredi sistemidir. AKTS, aynı zamanda, yükseköğretim kurumlarına, öğretim programları ve ders içeriklerinin iş yüküne bağlı olarak kolay anlaşılabilir bir yapıda tasarlanması, uygulanması, gözden geçirilmesi, iyileştirilmesi ve bu sayede yükseköğretim programlarının kalitesinin geliştirilmesine ve kalite güvencesine önemli katkı sağlayan bir sistematik yaklaşım sunmaktadır. ETIS : İstanbul Aydın University Education & Training System Cyprus Science University ECTS Information Package ECTS Information Package European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) which was introduced by the European Council in 1989, within the framework of Erasmus, now part of the Life Long Learning Programme, is a student-centered credit system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme specified in terms of learning outcomes and competences to be acquired. The implementation of ECTS has, since its introduction, has been found wide acceptance in the higher education systems across the European Countries and become a credit system and an indispensable tool supporting major aims of the Bologna Process and, thus, of European Higher Education Area as it makes teaching and learning in higher education more transparent across Europe and facilitates the recognition of all studies. The system allows for the transfer of learning experiences between different institutions, greater student mobility and more flexible routes to gain degrees. It also offers a systematic approach to curriculum design as well as quality assessment and improvement and, thus, quality assurance.
