Book Description
Intercultural Communication was created to support students enrolled in an upper-division intercultural communication college course but can be used for anyone wanting to learn more about different cultures and intercultural communication competency. This Open Educational Resource provides a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in communication through multicultural contexts. The book begins with a foundational overview of intercultural communication theories and concepts, and then moves on to discuss intercultural communication within the specific contexts of identity formation, family dynamics and structure, historical contexts, religious practices, communication methods, and business models. Enrichment activities, which may include real life examples and discussion questions, are included within each chapter.
Student feedback on the textbook is extremely positive, with several students commenting on the ease of use, clarity of organization, access to the book after the course ends, and the appreciation of a free educational resource. Several students have used the information learned from this textbook in post-college careers, study abroad opportunities, and when communicating with others in everyday life. Overall, this book is a complete guide on intercultural communication that can be applied to a variety of real-world experiences and outcomes.
