This course focuses on building cross-cultural awareness, strategies, and skills to relate to others and work effectively in culturally diverse situations. As part of this process, participants complete the research-based Cultural Intelligence (CQ) assessment and engage in debriefing. Class interaction includes applications of CQ insights to professionalism in a variety of TESOL contexts such as unilingual and multilingual classes, K-12 settings, tutoring, international schools, universities, and classes in business and corporate environments. Consideration is also given to the role of personal strengths and faith/spiritual values in navigating cultural differences. This course is designed to facilitate effective cross-cultural communication and professionalism.
