Intercultural Communication: A Societal Approach to Developing Intercultural Competencies
Author(s): Daniel White Hodge
Edition: 1
Copyright: 2020
Intercultural Communication: A Societal Approach to Developing Intercultural Competencies grounds intersectionality with intercultural communication theory to develop intercultural competencies. It is designed for both the student and the educator; what is meant by that is as many text books are “text heavy” and while presenting good frameworks and definitions, keep students from engaging deeply in the material and apply what they are learning. This text attempts to do just that by exacting core terms, definitions, theories, and materials from intercultural communication and allowing the teacher to do just that—teach.
Students will find interactive questions, video clips, and real-time issues that they can engage with as they learn to apply intercultural principles. Each chapter is written so that students may get through it while processing the material directly with their teacher.
This text comes from almost two decades of classroom teaching experience across a variety of colleges in a diverse setting of students. The goal here is the educate and have students apply what they have learned. The text is designed for the undergraduate student in an entry level course of intercultural communication—a required general Ed course in many college curriculums.
Lastly, this text is an eBook, meaning, the content can be updated in real-time and as the field develops—this alone is crucial as our classrooms are quickly moving to an eLearning platform and the demand for authenticity is truly a value for the incoming generation of college students. This, is your text!
