LD 5321 Multicultural Teamwork

(3 semester hours)
This course addresses issues relating to forming practical, cooperative programs that depend upon people from different cultures working together as teams or as full partners. The course draws upon writings of western and non-western authors, case studies, lectures and group activities. Although Christian teaching on teamwork will provide the underlying perspective of the course, the student will be able to form teams and partnerships, effectively work in teams, and train others in teamwork and partnership whether or not they share Christian views. In this course, the term “teamwork” refers not only to closely knit teams but to many kinds of cooperative action that requires groups of people to work together toward a common goal.

Prerequisite:

• LD 4370 Cultural Anthropology
• LD 4350 Language and Society or equivalent, or at least 3 years experience working in a different language and culture and the permission of the instructor.
