Intercultural Communication eBooks

The Riches of Intercultural Communication by Roselinde Supheert (Volume Editor); Gandolfo Cascio (Volume Editor); Jan D. ten Thije (Volume Editor)
ISBN: 9789004522480
Publication Date: 2022-11-17
How do you react to an intercultural situation that you do not understand? There are four options. You wait until it's over. You adjust your behavior and "do as the natives do." You blame the other as strange and stupid. Or you start to wonder by thinking about yourself and the other(s). This last option is called a Rich Point. This book provides an overview of research into intercultural communication.
Making Connections by John Corbett; Hugo Dart; Bruno Ferreira de Lima
ISBN: 1800412673
Publication Date: 2023-11-14
Online collaboration can be a powerful means of encouraging language learners to make connections between their local community and people from other cultural backgrounds. In doing so, learners develop their language skills while exploring different attitudes, values and beliefs. The authors of this book draw on 20 years of participation in numerous online intercultural exchanges to offer teachers a down-to-earth guide to finding partners, choosing a platform and designing online exchanges. They share their experience of working with learners to ensure that deep intercultural learning occurs alongside language development.
