Intercultural Competence Conference
Featuring experts in intercultural competence from across the U.S. and internationally, the Intercultural Competence Conference is for K-16 educators and students in fields related to foreign languages, social sciences/studies and the humanities, and for others involved in government, NGOs, and the private sector who are interested in seeing and interpreting relationships between cultures. This biennial event brings together researchers and practitioners across languages, levels and settings to discuss and share research, theory and best practices, and to foster meaningful professional dialog on issues related to the development and assessment of intercultural competence, especially in a foreign or second language.
Hosted by the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL) at the University of Arizona, the 2020 ICC will take stock of current models for internationalizing curricula as well as the genealogies of these discussions. Presentations will include accounts of best practices as well as critical examinations of current trends and conceptual think pieces around what it might mean to internationalize higher education.
