Overview
What you will study
As the role of culture, identity, and perception is crucial in communication, we will start the Interpersonal and Intercultural Communication course offered by Dalhousie University with exploring these concepts and examining how they shape the way people think, speak, and behave. You will also explore communication models, styles and strategies of effective communication, as well as critically analyze verbal and nonverbal behaviour. In addition, you will develop persuasion skills and techniques of managing emotions to become more confident and successful in communication.
