Eastern culture is more likely to be synthetic, intuitive, subjective and vague.,Chapter 4 Nonverbal Intercultural Communication,Nonverbal communication refers to intentional use of nonspoken symbols to communicate a specific message.Misunderstand are likely to occur, especially when we communicate with people from different cultures because we do not share the share the same nonverbal codes. Cross-cultural differences in nonverbal codes are important because nonverbal behaviour is not universal.By understanding differences in nonverbal behaviour, we gather clues about underlying attitudes and values. We become conscious of our ethnocentric behaviours when we judge other gestures, facial expressions, posture, and even silence.,Chapter 5 Intercultural Communication Barriers,Culture bias is everywhere and within everyone so we must to be carefully sensitive to differences across cultures and make a conscious effort to avoid emotional and attitudinal barriers to communicate.How to overcome intercultural communication barriers by emotional barriers and attitudinal barriers?1) Raise awareness so as to be conscious of ones values and biases and their effect;2) become comfortable with differences and welcome them;3) obtain knowledge;4) communication with people from different cultures;5) be motivated to learn about other cultures;6) acquire intercultural communication skills.,Chapter 6 The Hidden Core of Culture,Worldview is our shared outlook on the world as a culture. As the ore part of culture, it guides our ways of thinking and acting. The two basic worldviews, the dualistic and the holistic, account for many of the differences between east and west.Values are standards, social criteria by which behavours are judged.The major culture differences between east and west:In general, eastern cultures value unity, collectivity,history and tradition while western cultures places more weight on opposites, individuality, equality, and the present.,Hidden core of culture Our patterns of benaviours are largely influenced by the hidden values of our culture. Thus, misrepresentations and misinterpretations in intercultural transactions are the consequences of ignorance about one anothers predominating worldviews and cultural values. In order to speak and act properly and appropriately in intercultural communication, we need to understand value orientations across cultures and we need to be able to negotiate between patterns of behaviour.,Two well-known cultural pattern theories:Kluckhohn & Strodtbecks “Values Orientation”Geert Hofstedes “Dimensions of Cultural Variability”,Chapter 7 Social Interaction Customs,Different culture have different customs regarding greetings and farewells, invitations and responses, appointments and visiting, and compliments and responses. Etiquette and hospitality also differ across cultures. We need to be familiar with different social interaction customs in order to avoid cross-cultural misunderstandings.,Cultural has great influence on social interaction customs which determine peoples social behaviours; thus, an approprite behaviour in one culture may seem extremely odd extremely odd even offensives in another culture. Social behaviours such as greetings and farewells, invitations and responses, appointments and visiting, compliments and responses are effective ways to establish and maintain social contact.,Chapter 8 Interpersonal Relationships,Cross-culture differences in family relationships as well as friendships.Interpersonal relationships: Its connection between two or more people in specific social and cultural contexts. these contexts from family relationships and friendships to relationship between teachers and students and employers and employees.,Chapter 9 Culture Shock and Intercultural Adaptation,Symptoms: physical and psychological problems encountered during acculturation, such as allergies, insomnia, depression, vulnerability and so on.,In order to ensure a smooth transition, we need to develop strategies for avoiding culture shock and engaging in intercultural adaptation.,Acculturation refers to the socialisation process we go through when we learn another culture and adopt its norms and values. Acculturation comprises assimilation, integration, Separation and marginalisation. Entering a new culture can be a traumatising experience for everyone but culture shock is usually a short-term feeling of confusion and frustration. After a period of adjustment, it is natural to undergo a long-term period of intercultural adaptation. Once we get that feeling of belongoing, we naturally develop a bicultural identity, preserving some attitudes and behaviours from our native culture while accepting new attitudes and behaviours from the host culture.,Chapter 10 Intercultural Communication Competence,Intercultural Communication Competence: The ability to function effectively and appropriately in an intercultural communication context. It is the ability to understand and adapt to the target culture . It also refers to sensitivity to cultural diversity.Knowledge refers to what we know about the communication context , including information of ones own culture and the other culture .
