Module B: Intercultural Skills

The foundations of second-language and foreign-language teaching acquired in Module A are to be applied in Module B, through an examination of cultural diversity, to key elements of intercultural learning – communication skills, flexibility, tolerance of ambiguity, awareness of the construction of ‘the self and the other’, the questioning of one’s own cultural values, the ability to maintain a sense of distance from one’s own role and empathy – as well as fundamental topics such as ‘cultural awareness’ and ‘Eurocentrism’ (Zawacki-Richter & Hasebrook 2005).

Important note

BIKO-LAMB requires a specific sequence of modules, starting with Module A. You can therefore only have Module B recognised for BIKO-LAMB if it was completed after Module A.
