        Working across cultures is evermore in demand in today’s university and work environment. Achieving top performance for internationally-based tasks and projects requires good management. This course will touch on challenges faced and work on skills needed to manage such projects with success. ‘Practice makes perfect’, so we will strongly focus on project-oriented communication skills involving: introducing project topic, networking relationships, influencing the team, solving timing issues effectively, promoting advantages, and presenting final results.

        In this course, students will also explore characteristics of the ideal project manager, the virtual challenge, as well as acquire special techniques, phrases, and vocabulary of the field. Professional skills and tools essential for running a project while building intercultural competences are addressed by working through selected case studies in group work:
         Giving feedback
         Addressing conflicts in emails
         Developing Gantt charts
         Creating and applying stakeholder and risk analyses

        An individual 'Learning diary' should be maintained by each participant, which reviews unit/class scenarios, hard-won vocabulary, thereby implementing newly acquired knowledge and skills to a given project/case. At the end of this course you should be able to establish and introduce your own project, integrating specific analyses and charts, and present this to the class.

        Course content

        This course is designed for Environmental Science and Engineering students who want to improve their English language skills while investigating and debating the impacts of human development (industrial, commercial, and residential) on air, land, and water resources. The focus is not only going to be on the causes of current environmental challenges but also on ideas for potential solutions to existing local and global problems. Authentic English texts and media will be used in group discussions and to craft written responses. Individual presentations will allow students to report on an issue of personal interest.

        This semester we are going to take a closer look at the urban environment and are going to envision the city of the future. By 2050, 70 to 80 percent of the world's population, which by then is going to be almost 10 billion, will be living in cities. To get our cities ready for the future, we need to not only solve today's environmental problems, such as air pollution and climate change, but we need to try to also anticipate what other new challenges the future may bring. We will explore various topics through classroom debates, small group work, listening and reading exercises, as well as presentations, and we will work together towards our common goal of developing a more sustainable and livable city of the future.

        Learning outcomes

        Participants will develop their vocabulary knowledge and communication abilities in all forms (reading, writing, speaking and listening) in the subject field of this course.

        Course content

        This course is designed for Environmental Science and Engineering students who want to improve their English language skills while investigating and debating the impacts of human development (industrial, commercial, and residential) on air, land, and water resources. The focus is not only going to be on the causes of current environmental challenges but also on ideas for potential solutions to existing local and global problems. Authentic English texts and media will be used in group discussions and to craft written responses. Individual presentations will allow students to report on an issue of personal interest.

        This semester we are going to take a closer look at the urban environment and are going to envision the city of the future. By 2050, 70 to 80 percent of the world's population, which by then is going to be almost 10 billion, will be living in cities. To get our cities ready for the future, we need to not only solve today's environmental problems, such as air pollution and climate change, but we need to try to also anticipate what other new challenges the future may bring. We will explore various topics through classroom debates, small group work, listening and reading exercises, as well as presentations, and we will work together towards our common goal of developing a more sustainable and livable city of the future.

        Learning outcomes

        Participants will develop their vocabulary knowledge and communication abilities in all forms (reading, writing, speaking and listening) in the subject field of this course.

        Course content

        Being able to effectively communicate and work with people of cultures other than your own is a critical skill in today’s global environment. Whether you live and work in another country, or interact with colleagues, partners or customers from different countries and backgrounds, intercultural communication skills are essential. People from different cultures not only speak different languages, but they also have different preferences for managing time and activities, planning and working on projects, and interacting with colleagues. Without understanding these differences, miscommunications, misunderstandings, and other challenges to working together often occur.

        During this interactive workshop conducted over 7 sessions, you will learn what culture actually is and how it influences our perceptions, beliefs and behaviors. You will learn key areas where cultural differences can cause miscommunication and other challenges, such as preferences for hierarchy, formality, and time and punctuality. By analyzing examples of situations that have “gone wrong” and discussing other ways the situation could have played out, you will begin to develop the skill of recognizing intercultural problems before they occur. In addition, you will learn where stereotypes come from and how to avoid them in intercultural interactions. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you will learn a variety of techniques to recognize and bridge communication gaps so that you are able to work effectively with people of any culture or background.

        Learning outcomes

        You learn to be a more interculturally competent communicator and can bridge communication gaps effectively.

        Prerequisites and co-requisites

        Course content

        Being able to effectively communicate and work with people of cultures other than your own is a critical skill in today’s global environment. Whether you live and work in another country, or interact with colleagues, partners or customers from different countries and backgrounds, intercultural communication skills are essential. People from different cultures not only speak different languages, but they also have different preferences for managing time and activities, planning and working on projects, and interacting with colleagues. Without understanding these differences, miscommunications, misunderstandings, and other challenges to working together often occur.

        During this interactive workshop conducted over 7 sessions, you will learn what culture actually is and how it influences our perceptions, beliefs and behaviors. You will learn key areas where cultural differences can cause miscommunication and other challenges, such as preferences for hierarchy, formality, and time and punctuality. By analyzing examples of situations that have “gone wrong” and discussing other ways the situation could have played out, you will begin to develop the skill of recognizing intercultural problems before they occur. In addition, you will learn where stereotypes come from and how to avoid them in intercultural interactions. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you will learn a variety of techniques to recognize and bridge communication gaps so that you are able to work effectively with people of any culture or background.

        Learning outcomes

        You learn to be a more interculturally competent communicator and can bridge communication gaps effectively.

        Prerequisites and co-requisites

        Students with a placement of at least C1.

There is no exam or grade in this course. If you have fulfilled all the requirements, you will receive one credit point (1 credit) at the end of the course.
