The design of this course was based on a gender approach to understand the objective/subjective experiences of and policies and programs related to female marriage immigrants at all levels. Various teaching methods were used, including group discussions regarding the marriage immigration literature, presentations by marriage immigrants, NGO volunteers and multicultural social workers, and individual interviews with marriage immigrants. At the end of the course, students presented their findings of individual interviews. During the course, students were expected to develop an initial understanding of human rights and the meaning of gender. According to classroom observations and end of class evaluations, group discussions helped students to understand the obstacles and social stigma faced by female marriage immigrants. These discussions also strengthened students' gender sensitivity and cross-cultural competencies. Through case studies and individual interviews, students developed a broad picture of the life and immigration process of female marriage immigrants. In addition, they explored how values can be constructed, which can lead to human rights abuses. Based on the results, students' self awareness, gender sensitivity and ability to take social action significantly improved. Thus, development of cultural sensitivity and gender competency is urgently required in contemporary higher education.
