• Intercultural communication (1) – Hofstede’s cultural dimension model: This unit introduces the cultural dimension model proposed by the Dutch sociopsychologist, Geertz Hofstede, in the context of international business. The model offers a description to various national cultures and facilitates the comparison of national cultures. This model is widely applied in the business and educational contexts and useful in providing a general sketch about cultural differences.

• Intercultural communication (2) – Cultural values and communication styles: This unit introduces how cultural values influence communication styles and how different communication styles may lead to communication breakdowns. Particular attention will be paid to request strategies which are sensitive to cultural and contextual factors. Case studies will be presented and discussed.
