Books on intercultural communication are
rarely written with an intercultural readership in mind.
In contrast, this multinational team of authors has put
together an introduction to communicating across
cultures that uses examples and case studies from around
the world. The book further covers essential new topics,
including international conflict, social networking,
migration, and the effects technology and mass media
play in the globalization of communication. Written to
be accessible for international students too, this text
situates communication theory in a truly global
perspective.
Each chapter brings to life the links
between theory and practice and between the global and
the local, introducing key theories and their practical
applications. Along the way, you will be supported with
first-rate learning resources, including:
•
theory
corners with concise, boxed-out digests of key
theoretical concepts
•
case illustrations
putting the main points of each chapter into
context
•
learning objectives,
discussion
questions,
key terms and
further
reading framing each chapter and stimulating further
discussion
• a
companion website containing
resources for instructors, including multiple choice
questions, presentation slides, exercises and
activities, and teaching notes.
This book will not
merely guide you to success in your studies, but will
teach you to become a more critical consumer of
information and understand the influence of your own
culture on how you view yourself and others.
