Hobart
Introduction
This is a co-requisite unit for students undertaking overseas study programs in the College of Arts, Law and Education. Students will undertake this unit concurrently with their primary degree. Using materials available through Creative Commons, the unit comprises a number of themes that encompass the three stages of the overseas study experience: pre-departure, in-country and return. The particular focus is on 'Bringing the Learning Home' and on making the most of overseas study as an opportunity for lifelong learning. The themes are broadly categorised as Exploration, Reflection, Stereotypes, Cultural relativism, Communication, Adaptation and Coping, Transformation, Education and culture, and Professionalism.
Upon completion of the unit students will be able to:
-Reinterpret intercultural challenges as learning opportunities
-Reflect on their own intercultural skills
-Notice and interpret subtle cultural differences
-Consolidate and generalise the lessons that they have learnt while sojourning overseas
-Apply critical reflective abilities to their own cultural orientations
