Theoretical Foundations gives an insight into understanding intercultural communication as a concept by showing various definitions and metaphors that describe it. It shows a historical overview of the study on IC, pointing to different disciplines and topics together with various theories and theorists involved in the studies. The module focuses on the study of cultural dimensions and the culture map idea. The role of humor in intercultural communication is mentioned as well. The aim of the module is to help the learners to recognize their own synthetic cultures and be able to use the broader knowledge to solve the problems included in the next modules of the course. The exercises that allow students to practice different perspectives on the complex issue of interculturality are also included to show the practical side of theoretical knowledge.
