This course is based on the understanding that all people interact with language and culture, which are fundamental to their identity, family, education, and experiences in regional, national, online/virtual, and international contexts. It provides you with the opportunity to learn and explore a range of many different issues related to culture. Over four cycles of learning and reflection on identity, language, and culture, you will cumulatively develop your understanding and knowledge of identity, language, and culture, step by step.
