<h2>UKM Global Webinar Series - Embracing Language and Culture Through Internationalization</h2> <h4>December 8th, 2021 (Wednesday) | 2.30 pm (GMT+8 Kuala Lumpur)</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the key emphasis of internationalization is about bringing students from various cultures together, in their journeys towards acquiring a better future and being respectful global citizens. More international Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are introducing and conducting programs that highlight the importance of culture and language in their exchange and mobility programs. Though English is known to be a universal language, many foreign modern languages are being offered as well to embrace the diversity of the world. Having strong intercultural competence skills and mindset is also an important 21st century skill for the students.  This webinar aims at exploring how language and culture-based programs are being offered in universities in Japan and Malaysia.
