Establishing a Professional Self through Effective Intercultural Communication at NUS

The study and practice of communication among cultural contexts are known as intercultural communication. This stands true for both local cultural differences like those based on race and gender and global cultural differences like those based on country of origin or geographic region. Misty So-Sum Wai-Cook, Professor at the Centre for English Language Communication, established the Establishing a Professional ‘Self’ through Effective Intercultural Communication certification course, which is offered through Coursera.

Establishing a Professional ‘Self’ through Effective Intercultural Communication online course is designed for learners who want to become proficient in effective communication skills so they may build relationships with coworkers in a community and workplace that is culturally and linguistically diverse. Establishing a Professional ‘Self’ through Effective Intercultural Communication online classes involved 10 hours of digital lectures that cover effective communication skills needed to develop relationships with coworkers as well as assist learners in creating their profiles and aligning themselves appropriately in a globalized workplace.
