Noting that cultural diversity has become the rule rather than the exception in the United States, this paper presents a model for an introductory intercultural communication course based on a postmodern perspective. The first section sets out a course rationale. The second section discusses teaching the course from a holistic perspective that encompasses behavioral, affective, and cognitive dimensions of learning. The third section breaks one superordinate goal--fostering more harmonious relationships between persons of different cultural backgrounds--into eight subordinate goals. Next, five Course Units are described followed by a suggested sequence. Finally, guidelines are presented for criterion-referenced methods of evaluation. An appendix presents a list of potentially helpful pedagogical materials. (Contains 22 references.) (NH)
