“Intercultural communication”by Claire Kramsch.

   
 Respected sir ,
         Here my views about this research paper- “Intercultural communication”by Claire Kramsch.
    Intercultural or cross-cultural communication is in interdisciplinary field of research that studies how people understand each other across group boundaries of various sorts: national,geographical,ethnic,occupational,class or gender.
     TESOL has always had as it's goal the facilitation of communication among people who do not share the same language and national culture.
      Intercultural communication is a supplement to communication teaching language.
       Intercultural communication is multiple linguistic apart from is behavioural sciences and especially psychology and social psychology.
                The field of Intercultural communication in Europe was direct outcome of the social and political upheavals created by the large scale immigration into the industrialised countries.it has therefore been much more closely linked to field such as anthropology,sociolinguistics,pragmatics and discourse analysis.
     Some of the major facets of human         interaction that international communication has helped to define are:
  •   The situation of communication itself e.g.the socially conventonalised roles adopted by participants,their expected norms of interaction and interpretation,the way they construct a shared sense of reality;
  • the stereotype they entertain of each other,as individuals and as members of a social group;
  • their non-verbal and paravertebral;
  • the way they save their own and each other's face;
  • the way their languages reflects these deeper discourse.
        Teachers of English are,however,encouraged to look beyond professional organisation and research journal explicitly dedicated to 'intercultural communication'and to acquaint themselves with academic research conducted within a cross-cultural framework in the general fields of applied           linguistics,pragmatics,discourse analysis,linguistic anthropology , ethnography and cultural studies.
 
    Thank u...

Poem Telephone Conversation by Wole Soyinka

 Telephone Conversation by Wole Soyinka           In the summary of Telephone conversation by Wole Soyinka, the poet talks about two people on the phone and the story goes on to narrate how the African man is looking for a house and the land lady has proposed a considerable price for the same. The poem strikes a positive note as the man gets to know that his privacy won’t be hampered as the landlady doesn’t stay on the premises. The African man is happy to know that and just before he makes up his mind to consider the offer, he drops in to mention that he is black. On the other end of the line, there was nothing but silence which the African man takes it to be an impolite gesture of refusal.               However, the silence is soon broken as the landlady starts to speak again asking him to expla...
