Description:

(Formerly known as: Speech Communication 175) The Intercultural Communication course approaches the study of communication from an intergroup, culture-general perspective. Theories of communication (e.g., uncertainty and anxiety reduction; social penetration processes; expectancy theory) are integrated with theories of cultural difference (e.g., individualism-collectivism; dimensions of cultural variability; low/high context communication style) to explain and predict communication behavior. Communication is examined in both cross-cultural and intercultural settings, with the goal of improving intercultural interactions. Lecture. Optional pass/no pass or grade. Transferable to CSU; UC.
