English 5381: Global Technical Communication
Spring 2015 Graduate Course
Dr. Rich Rice
Course meets: TR 9:30-10:50 am in English 358
Global communication encompasses a wide range of communication problems in workplaces involving different religious, ethnic, educational, and social backgrounds. The course examines how people from different countries and cultures communicate and perceive the world. As cultures around the world are increasingly impacted by globalization, it is important that technical and professional communicators understand complexities of cultural communication. As such, this course provides an overview of how differing worldviews, values, attitudes, and behaviors can influence our work through reading such theorists as Hofstede, Appadurai, Baraldi, St.Amant, and others. The course will also engage with students at the English Language Services of Lubbock program.
