|
|
|
|
The course focuses on using English as a tool for global literacy, and nonverbal communication for exploring commonalities and creating bridges to access cultural differences. By the end of the course, the students will have greater:
• Appreciation of the significance of English as tool for global literacy;
• Awareness, skills and knowledge of nonverbal communication;
• Discussion & facilitation skills for cross-cultural understanding;
• Ability to use critical analysis and curiosity to inquire in-the-moment and to reflect on their own and others’ interactions;
• Capacity to present on a STEEP global issue and identify ‘Caizen’ proposals for communities in Tokyo and Tamkang.

Overview
This course uses cross-cultural distance learning human-and-computer technology. It begins with the A-S-K (Awareness-Skills-Knowledge) approach and EQ-SQ-CQ-GQ model. It also describes culture and personality using dimensions and orientations (high-low context, high-low power distance, individualism-collectivism, expressive-reserved, introversion-extroversion, etc).
Students research local, every-day ‘emics’ that shed light on objects and concepts that are culturally-specific to modern Tokyo and Tamkang. Students also research STEEP global challenges (Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, Political) using global data indexes and explore reactions and Caizen opportunities with CCDL partners. This CCDL course aims create an enjoyable working and living socio-physical environment -- within-and-between local, international and global systems -- in the present moment (imminence) and longterm future (infinity).
