Effective Communication in the Globalised Workplace Specialization

There is no university credit that you can earn by completing this Specialization.

Upon completion of the Specialization, within the context of a globalized workplace, you will be able to:

· demonstrate awareness of the nature, intricacies and complexities of communication;

· understand the fundamental communication principles applicable to different contexts: written and spoken, face-to-face and online;

· display good understanding of effective interpersonal, intercultural and organizational competencies;

· produce workplace-related artefacts that are sensitive to audience and context; and

· make use of language appropriately and effectively for different genres ranging from informative to persuasive.

While the specialization focuses on application, it is grounded in intercultural and communication theories. Through case studies simulating the globalized workplace, you will have ample opportunities to practise and enhance your communication competence, taking into consideration intercultural elements.
