infusing intercultural experience, curiosity, and communication strategies

While intercultural communication competence is not among the Proficiencies being infused, below, surely there is a case to be made for using this approach to bring these skills to learners!

...the infusion of "proficiencies" in courses akin to a "Writing Across the Curriculum" approach — will be implemented next fall. Faculty are also eligible for stipends for completing training on infusing their courses with a focus on up to two of five proficiencies — reading and writing, numeracy, critical thinking, oral communication and information fluency. Next fall, incoming freshmen will be required to take 10 infused courses while at Seton Hall (although the infused signature and freshman English courses will count toward that total). The number rises to 12 and 15 for subsequent classes.
 
"We're going to need hundreds [of infused courses] ultimately just to begin," says Mary Balkun, the English department chair and co-chair, with Mirabella, of the core curriculum committee.
 
...speaking concretely, draft guidelines on how to infuse a course with numeracy, for example, stipulate that assignments should include significant readings or the use of resources "which require the student to verify computations, [and] explain why certain methodologies were used" — among other requirements — and that specific questions evaluating numeracy skills should be included on tests and exams.
