CLIC: Inter-Communication: Everybody speaks English, right?

New

In today's globalised world, effective communication in English transcends the boundaries of native and non-native speakers. It's a shared journey, and English-speaking individuals—whether native or proficient—have a pivotal role to play in fostering inclusivity.

Join our workshop to:

• Engage in an experiment highlighting the challenges of using English as a universal language of communication.
• Dive into the concept of accent bias.
• Develop a heightened cultural awareness of the subtle nuances between direct and indirect communication styles, and gain valuable tips and techniques to excel in international settings.
