Respected sir ,
Here my views about this research paper- “Intercultural communication”by Claire Kramsch.
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...
