SED 465 - Cross-Cultural Learning in Costa Rica
Credit(s): 3
This course will provide the context for an authentic cross-cultural experience. Participants will actively engage in the processes of culture learning and communicating across cultures. A particular focus of this constructivist process will be to provide each participant with a lived experience as the cultural “other.” Such a process entails a hands-on perspective in relation to denial of native language communication capability, a dearth of cultural insight and understanding, and a high level of ambiguity in day-to-day activities. A particular goal of this experience is that of effective cross-cultural adaptation.
