Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

The aim of the course is to learn and discuss 1) basic concepts of communication/intercultural communication and 2) basic/universal emotions and different emotions between cultures. More specifically, we will discuss (a) how openly certain emotions tend to be expressed, (b) how often certain emotions tend to be controlled, and (c) how differently certain emotions tend to be perceived in particular cultures. We will also discuss how different emotions between cultures could be related to different perceptions of “self” and cognitive styles such as thought patterns.
