Language in Intercultural Social Impact Work

This course is designed to equip future cross-cultural social impact professionals, particularly those whose jobs requires communicating across linguacultural boundaries, to make informed decisions about language learning, language practices and language policy in their contexts of service. Participants will carry out research on language dynamics in an actual setting where development professionals are active, learn some field methods for language learning, and develop and advocate for effective language policies in order to further the goals of responsible and responsive development.
