Welcome to Communicating Interculturally. This book will introduce theories of intercultural communication, examples of communication at work, and key terms relevant to the exploration of communication and culture. Our goal is to help you better understand the value of communicating interculturally.
In this book, we use words like “I,” “you,” “we,” and “our” to infer our respective and collective experiences. We hope readers will use this book as an opportunity to share your own lived experiences. Additionally, our discussion questions are meant to prompt readers to think introspectively about the lived experiences of other people. We conclude each chapter with suggestions to build skills and offer recommendations for additional information. We believe, “to live is to learn, and the best teachers are also students of life.”
