Task description
Assessment 1 (Reflective Essay) requires you to reflect on your own culture as an "insider". Your cultural group can be defined at a national level (e.g., Korean, Australian, or German) or at a subcultural level (e.g., religious groups). In your reflective essay, you should first state your cultural identification, position yourself as a member of the cultural group you identify with, be it national or a subcultural group. Then you explain how your cultural identification conveys a sense of identity to you; what beliefs, values, practices, traditions and so forth are considered important and why they are important to you and your cultural group. You may include examples of products or practices of your culture but your reflective essay should go beyond simply introducing or describing what the cultural products (e.g., costume) or practices (e.g., eating fish on new year eve) are; you should explain the cultural meanings of those products and practices and what they tell us about the cultural beliefs and values important to your cultural group and how those beliefs and values influence your thinking (attitude), doing (behaviour) and being (identity). Reflecting on your own culture will help you to appreciate differences as well as similarities between cultures, which prepares you for Assessment 2. You need to apply at least one theoretical concept or a theoretical model learned in the course in relation to culture, identity, and communication. Define all theoretical concepts you choose to use in your reflective essay to demonstrate your knowledge of the concepts and your ability to apply them. You may cite academic and non-academic references for your essay. Do not cite Wikipedia as references for your essay. Include all references cited within your essay in the references list at the end. APA 7th edition referencing style is required. The UQ Library website has APA 7th edition referencing style guide. Further information on this assessment will be provided in class sessions.
Include the following sections in your reflective essay:
- Title of your reflective essay.
- Brief description of the cultural group(s) with which you identify.
- The theoretical concept and/or theoretical model you choose to frame the discussion of your culture.
- Your reflection on how your culture shapes your attitude and behaviour, as a member of the cultural group.
- References list: All references cited within the essay should be included in the references list.

Task description
Assessment 2 (Intercultural Experience Report) requires you to report on your experience of communicating with people from another culture as an "outsider". To accomplish this assessment task, you need to choose a culture or subculture other than your own, i.e. you are an "outsider" to this culture. You then need to search for information academic and non-academic sources to learn about this culture and cultural group. Based on your research, you identify some aspects of this culture (e.g., certain cultural practices, traditions, values, beliefs, etc.) that you want to learn more about and provide a justification for why you choose to learn more about them. For the interaction part, locate about three persons from this cultural group under study through personal, social, or academic networks (e.g., networks of friends or colleagues, classmates at UQ, or professional associations of which you are a member, etc.). Interview them via a suitable medium (face-to-face or online) to learn about their views regarding those aspects of the culture you are interested in learning more about. In other words, you learn about the culture under study through interacting with people who are insiders of that culture. Summarise your main findings. Identify one or a set of potential problems that might arise in communication between members of the cultural group under study and members of your own culture (e.g., stereotypes, different beliefs and values, communication styles, etc.). Apply at least one theory to analyse the identified intercultural problem(s) and provide specific possible solutions, not just general statements. The reflection part of your intercultural experience report presents your learning from this intercultural communication experience.
Include the following sections in your report:
- Title of your intercultural report.
- Introduction: State your own cultural identity in the Introduction and the culture you have chosen to study as well as provide a justification for your choice of the culture to study as an outsider.
- Description of the culture under study: Provide a brief description of the specific aspects of culture you plan to focus on.
- Intercultural interaction: Provide 3 to 5 interview questions you plan to ask the members of the cultural group you have chosen to study. Describe the characteristics of the persons you have chosen to interview and explain the rationale for your choice (why you believe they are in the best position to answer your questions), and then provide a summary of your main findings in relation to your questions. There is no need to include the real names of the persons you have interviewed.
- Problem statement and application of theories: Identify one or a set of potential problems in communication between people from the cultural group under study and people from your own cultural group; analyse the problem(s) and provide specific possible solutions by drawing on theories and concepts learned in the course and the relevant literature you have searched.
- Reflection: Reflect on your experience of interacting with people from a different cultural group, and discuss what you have learned from this intercultural communication experience.
- References list: All references cited within the report should be included in the references list. APA 7th edition referencing style is required. The UQ Library website has APA 7th edition referencing style guide.

The program aims to equip your trainees with intercultural competence to communicate appropriately and effectively with people from diverse cultures or with people from a specific culture other than their own. You will be required to search for relevant literature in addition to the readings provided in the course to inform your design of the intercultural training program.

You can use the relevant literature you have searched and course readings to inform your design of the training program and to justify the rationale for the program design.
- Training methods: Specify training methods (e.g., workshops, seminars, experiments, etc.) and explain the rationale for your choice of the training methods in terms of size of your training group and their characteristics.
- Sequencing of the program: Explain the sequence in which you order your topics and activities, and provide your rationale for the sequencing.
- Ethical issues: Describe any ethical issues you may need to consider in delivering your training program.
