The Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics is making preliminary plans for a new graduate certificate program in Multicultural Teamwork. Sensing a growing need for leaders equipped with the ability to lead multicultural groups, the faculty of GIAL hopes that the new program will assist with the often-challenging partnerships among those working in cross-cultural environments.
“Today’s world increasingly calls for leadership that is able to function effectively in multi-cultural contexts,” said David Ross, GIAL President. “More and more church-related organizations, nongovernmental organizations and mission agencies are becoming international in make-up and orientation, making multicultural leadership skills mandatory.”
Offered by the GIAL Language Development Department, the certificate program is already sparking interest among advisors, coordinators and administrators of multicultural teams working both in the United States and abroad in various linguistic capacities. The certificate will encompass 12 hours of graduate coursework during a four-month period. GIAL hopes to begin offering the new program in fall 2009.
