LIR 200

Contemporary multicultural settings require context-sensitive communication practices. These practices are so complex that they cannot be addressed by simple binary models. This course builds on concepts taught in LIR 100. Further developing theoretical perspectives and practical strategies, through applied tasks, the course enables the intercultural learner to become critically adept at brokering the production and interpretation of meaning. Students will learn contemporary, integrative, and multipart approaches that enable more complex awareness of intercultural meaning.
