Modern China in History and Film
This course explores practical and theoretical approaches to intercultural communication competence. Multi‑cultural Singapore servers as an example for approaches to intercultural competence. Using Singapore as a platform for fieldwork and total immersion in the East Asian cultural context, we shall investigate, explore and practise intercultural communication competence with a focus on Singapore, the Chinese world and global issues.
