2) Student participation in class, including exercises, role play and discussion of set texts. These activities are intended to motivate students and to encourage dialogue within the group and the development of communication skills.

3) Out-of-class activities. These activities consist of a more practical, in-depth examination of specific topics.

4) Group project. This aims at promoting teamwork among students and focuses on strengthening their ability to create projects and to apply the methods and techniques of sociological analysis to intercultural communication.
