Übung The Intercultural Project

Intercultural Project (Stay Abroad) The aim of this project is to develop students' intercultural competence (including language skills). Students are required to integrate into the culture of an English-speaking country for a minimum of 8 weeks and to reflect on the experience in the form of a piece of project work. Students wishing to take part are strongly advised to read the information on the department homepage and on the ICP Moodle website (https://www.gwi.moodle.elearning.lmu.de/). Please note that there is no weekly class during the semester. The times shown here on LSF are for Sprechstunden for individual meetings with the tutors. The ICP basically consists of 3 parts: 1) Pre-departure (during semester): Organisation of stay. The weekly times set aside for this with Thomas, Woodman and Weik-Price are office hours designed to help you organise your project. There is also a pre-departure workshop in intercultural communication awareness training (always on a Saturday: sign up on the board outside room 162 and NOT on lsf).This workshop is COMPULSORY for everyone who wants to go abroad and MUST be completed BEFORE the stay abroad. 2) In-country (usually between semesters): minimum of 8 weeks in chosen (English-speaking) country in a meaningful context for the purpose of developing intercultural competence (i.e. not merely travelling). 3) Post-stay : debriefing workshop, final writing and then submission of project work.
