4/25/2012 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- The Air Force Culture and Language Center, part of Air University's Spaatz Center, is now taking applications for the summer session of its "Introduction to Cross-Cultural Communication" course.
The course, including all instructional material, is provided at no cost, and delivered via AU's Web-based Blackboard Learning Management System. Internet access is required.
Enrollment is open and limited to 200 students. Class begins May 3 and continues through Aug. 8.
Introduction to Cross Cultural Communication is an online, self-paced course designed to provide enlisted Airmen the foundational knowledge essential for developing cross-cultural communication competence. The course focuses on the skills, concepts and applications relevant for military personnel.
This general education course fulfills three resident hours of either social science or program elective credit required for Community College of the Air Force degrees. Only Air Force enlisted active duty, reservists or guardsmen who are eligible to pursue a CCAF degree in the program may take the course.
The AFCLC was founded at Air University in April 2006 as the result of the Air Force chief of staff's desire to improve Airmen's cross-cultural competence by developing their cultural, regional, foreign language and negotiation abilities.
