2020

10th MOOC Run


SISU IC Institute


This time of adhering to the wisely recommended measures to contain the spread of the Corona virus provides a unique opportunity to advance and access online education. Since 2015, SISU and FutureLearn have partnered to offer the “Intercultural Course” twice a year. To serve those needing online resources for their course planning during this time, we are offering the 10th run from the start of this new term.


https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/intercultural-communication/10


Our latest course launches internationally on March 2, 2020! We hope this helps all who want to learn with us, whether you incorporate it at the beginning of this term or later. We’ll keep the course open up to July in case you want to use it in the middle or towards the end of this semester. But do keep in mind that FREE access to the course continues for just 7 weeks from the time that you or your students enroll (plan your enrollment start accordingly).



Course Contents and Suggestions for Use



If you have visited the course before, you know that it offers a “learning step” design, easy to incorporate into your class lessons. The 15 or so steps included in each week usually take leaners about 4 hours to complete. But we encourage students to spend more time to read the many comments posted and make their own, enriching social learning on each step. 


Each week’s content begins with several introductory steps, awareness-awakening videos or articles on IC constructs, learning activities, relevant case studies, questions for response and reflection, and weekly review steps. The five topics included in this IC course include:


WEEK 1

Comprehending Intercultural Communication


We introduce the course topic via definitions, metaphors, explanatory articles, an applied case and invite participants to reflect on possible sources of culture differences. Topics include:


Outlining Learning Objectives

Sharing Cultural Highlights

Defining Intercultural Communication

Exploring IC Metaphors (“Fish out of Water,” “Cultural Baggage”)

Accounting for Subjective Culture

Considering an Intercultural Incident (Case Study Learning)

Highlighting Goals of Intercultural Learning

Considering Degrees of Interculturalness


WEEK 2

Contextualizing 

Cultural Identities


We provide ways to get to know others by focusing on cultural identity and begin to adjust our perceptions of and communications with each other. Topics include:


Exploring “Who am I?” and “Who are You?”

Listing your Identities

Understanding Levels of Identity in Interaction

Identifying Differences in Interaction

Understanding Social Identity Theory

Representing Identity (Onion levels, Perception, Descriptions)

Responding to Diverse Identities

Describing Identities in “Your Cultural Story” and Learning from Others’ Stories


WEEK 3

Comparing Cultural Communication Styles


We introduce taxonomies that describe how ways of interaction vary across cultures, helping you notice differences in how social contexts, personality, space, and time might be perceived. Topics include:


Considering Communication and Context

Linking Culture and Communication

Adjusting High- and Low-Context Styles

Introducing Time and Space

Observing Cultural Communication Styles

Reporting Proxemic Observations

Considering the Nature of Silence

Introducing Monochronic and Polychronic Time

Understanding Mindfulness

Considering Your Time Planning, Scheduling


WEEK 4

Clarifying and Contrasting Values


We explore how values often underlie deeper cultural differences, examine ways to contrast variations of values, and consider how they help us analyze cross-cultural misunderstandings. Topics include:


Defining Values

Exploring Your Values

Introducing IC Values Studies

Describing Your Culture- and Individual-Level Values

Debriefing Value Expectations

Studying Values: History and Concepts

Considering Values Frameworks

Dimensionalizing Individualism, Power, and Time

Understanding Individualism and Collectivism

Speaking Cross-culturally


WEEK 5

Cultivating Intercultural Adaptation


We show how adaptation processes underlie all culture learning and interaction, and how engaging in the culture shock, stress, and adjustment process helps develop intercultural competence. Topics include:


Introducing Culture Shock and Adaption

Experiencing Situational Culture Shock

Explaining and Understanding Culture Shock

Learning from Culture Shock Experiences

Engaging in Intercultural Adaptation Processes

Going through Waves of Cultural Adaptation

Coming Back to Re-Entry Shock

Creatively Expressing Adaptation towards ICC
