Developing Intercultural Communication Competencies in Education
Event | November 24, 2023
With the increasing emphasis on culturally relevant teaching practices, incorporating intercultural skills into the teaching curriculum is now vital. As Japanese universities internationalize and the number of foreign students and instructors rises, fostering intercultural competencies among students is crucial in preparing them for the global workplace. Policies like the “Hokkaido University Global Vision 2040” exemplify the university’s strategic vision for sustained internationalization. This seminar aims to provide educators with tools and insights to cultivate students who are adaptable, open-minded, and capable of understanding diverse perspectives, thereby fostering an inclusive international campus environment. By attending this seminar, participants will receive hands-on knowledge to enhance their courses and support the inclusive internationalization of the campus.
