ANT2011 ST: Language and Culture

This course combines language self-study with online intercultural exchange to allow students to explore the intersections of language and culture. Each student will choose a language of interest, and a country where that language is spoken. Using resources available online, students will study that language. In addition, with help from the instructor, the student will identify a native of the chosen country and will engage with that person through discussion and an interview assignment. Guided reflection will aid students as they navigate intercultural interactions online. Students will engage in discussion and analysis of topics such as stereotypes, cultural identity, visible and invisible aspects of culture, and how culture can influence (or inhibit) communication. Students may choose to continue learning a language they have previously studied or begin a new language. Credits: 3.000
