Perspectives on intercultural communication and intercultural communicative competence

In our age of superdiversity and unprecedented mobility (both actual and virtual, and temporary and permanent), communication across language and cultural boundaries has become the norm for many of us. Intercultural communication has therefore become a practical necessity in a wide range of settings around the globe, and as a result, intercultural communication and intercultural communicative competence have become key areas of theorisation and research within applied and socio-linguistics. In this panel discussion, the three experts in the field will each discuss their own approach to these notions, after which they will join in discussion with the audience.

Light refreshments will be served. All welcome!
