1: Broadening Horizons -- 2: Building Identities -- 3: Using Language -- 4: Conversing and Relating -- 5: Communicating Nonverbally -- 6: Contextualizing Intercultural Communication -- 7: Encountering Other Cultures
The text introduces some of the key concepts in intercultural communication as traditionally presented in (North American) courses and textbooks, namely the study of differences between cultures, as represented in the works and theories of Edward Hall and Geert Hofstede. Common to these approaches is the prominence of context, leading to a view of human interactions as dynamic and changeable, given the complexity of language and culture, as human agents interact with their environments.
