THE CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION INTERFACE

Παρουσίαση

In this globalized world, understanding the culture and communication interface is imperative. This book explores the link between culture and communication, provides theoretical scaffolding and discusses pertinent notions and concepts that are key to understanding intercultural communication (e.g., cultural dimensions, cultural identity, verbal and nonverbal communication, cultural adaptation, and intercultural communicative competence). It concludes with an intercultural communication awareness-building framework, offering an array of practical suggestions and activities on how intercultural communicative competence can be developed and enhanced.
