As an integrated member of the international teaching team, Dr. Lau Chaak Ming co-delivered a two-hour session on Intercultural Communication with Dr. Youngsang Kim from Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, on 4 September 2025, as part of the Global Media course hosted by the University of Lapland, Finland. The session introduced students to key concepts in intercultural communication, with particular attention to how language, pragmatics, and cultural norms shape interaction in digitally mediated environments. Drawing on Dr. Kim’s research in human-computer interaction and culturally sensitive design, and Dr. Lau’s expertise in computational linguistics and digital humanities, the lecture bridged theoretical frameworks with practical applications in global media contexts. Students were encouraged to examine how communication styles vary across cultures and how such differences manifest in both face-to-face and technology-mediated settings. This session was not a standalone event but a fully integrated, team-taught curriculum, reflecting the course’s commitment to embedding diverse international perspectives throughout the entire learning experience.
