This series of talks aims to familiarise the audience with important concepts of English speaking cultures. Understanding issues of identity, core values, difference, social change, and the connections of language and social issues help to raise awareness of interculturality and thus become better intercultural communicators. The lecture series—delivered by a team of lecturers—will therefore focus on these issues and provide important theoretical background as well as useful practical examples in the hope that the course participants will be able to use these as stepping stones in their cultural learning. The course is followed by a written examination. Click here for information. Please note that this exam can be taken as part of the course. However, in terms when the course is not provided (typically in the spring), it is advertised as an "exam course" (vizsgakurzus), which means that students who had taken the course and the exam earlier but failed can take the exam again. N.B.: this opportunity is NOT open to those who had not taken the course before.
ANG-371 Specialization in English Speaking Cultures This series of talks about culture and cultures aims to familiarise the audience with a background and tools for interpreting English language texts and interactions in their cultural context. Different lecturers will be addressing issues such as the meanings of ‘culture’, how to explore national cultures, the process of cultural learning, the relationship between language and culture and various aspects of cross-cultural communication. All lectures will present important theoretical background to these issues and demonstrate practical uses of the themes in relation to English speaking cultures. The examination consists of a multiple choice test.
