A brief Summary for:

My Project

  A Research

 Intercultural communication

Language allows people to communicate with

great precision. The Language and Communication

group studies how people use language in specific

discourse contexts, to share information with others,

 and to persuade or otherwise affect them.

Problems

The problems in intercultural communication usually

 come from problems in message transmission.

In communication between people of the same

culture, the person who receives the message

interprets it based on values, beliefs, and

expectations for behavior similar to those of the

 person who sent the message.

When this happens, the way the message is

 interpreted by the receiver is likely to be fairly

similar to what the speaker intended. However,

 when the receiver of the message is a person

from a different culture, the receiver uses

 information from his or her culture to interpret

 the message. The message that the receiver

 interprets may be very different from what the

 speaker intended.

Why Intercultural communication?

The world today is characterized by an ever growing

 number of contacts resulting in communication

 between people with different linguistic and

 cultural backgrounds.

This communication takes place because of contacts

 within the areas of business, military cooperation,

 science, education, mass-media, entertainment,

tourism but also because of immigration brought

 about by labor shortage or political conflicts.

Fast travel, international media, and the Internet

 have made it easy for us to communicate with

people all over the world. The process of economic

 globalization means that we cannot function in

 isolation but must interact with the rest of the

 world for survival.

The global nature of many widely diverse modern

problems and issues such as the environment,

governance of the Internet, poverty and international

 terrorism call for cooperation between nations.

Intercultural communication is no longer an option,

 but a necessity.

Identity

Cultural identities are negotiated, co-created, and

reinforced in communication with others.

They reflect our unique, personal life histories and

experiences. They may also be seen as

manifestations of social reality.

Racial identity

Race has been defined as a group of persons related

 by common descent or heredity. It is a classification

 of modern humans based on an arbitrary selection

of physical characteristics as skin color, facial form,

 or eye shape. Race is a social construction of human

 difference that is used to classify human beings into

 separate value-based categories.

Ethnic refers to a group of people sharing a common

and distinctive culture, religion, language, etc.

Furthermore, it has been explained as the attribute of

membership in a group set off by racial, territorial,

economic, religious, cultural, aesthetic, or linguistic

 uniqueness.

Ethnicity has also been seen as a cultural marker that indicates

shared traditions, heritage, and ancestral origins; ethnicity is

defined psychologically and historically. On the other hand

ethnic identity may be explained as an emotional bond that

people share that originates from their past and that gives

them an emotional force to claim their historical origins.

4- Results / Secondary Findings

I will Present a result and then explain it, before

 presenting the next result then explaining it,

and so on, then end with an overall synopsis.

This is the preferred approach as I have multiple

results of equal significance.  It is more common

 in longer papers because it helps the reader to

 better understand each finding.

Intercultural communication

It is a form of communication that aims to share

 information across different cultures and social

 groups. It is used to describe the wide

range of communication processes and problems

 that naturally appear within an organization or social

 context made up of individuals from different

 religious, social, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.

In this sense it seeks to understand how people

 from different countries and cultures act,  and

 perceive the world around them.

Many people in intercultural business

communication argue that culture determines how

individuals encode messages, what medium they

 choose for transmitting them, and the way

messages are interpreted.

Teaching and learning

Methods used to promote intercultural

 communication skills:

Knowledge for Intercultural Communication

Key areas of knowledge for those wanting to improve their

intercultural communication are:

Some knowledge of the cultures, organizations and

 institutions, history and general way of living of

different communities and nations.

The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and describe the

significance of our findings in light of what was already

known about the research problem being investigated

and to explain any new understanding or insights that

emerged as a result of our study of the problem.

 DISCUSSION provides the explanation and interpretation of

results or findings by comparing with the findings in prior studies.

Then, I can say that: compared to the previous study about

(Intercultural Communication), I say that my research is

Assessment

Courses on the theory and content of intercultural

communication tend to evaluate knowledge by

means of written examination and essay.

Alternatively projects may involve students applying

their theoretical knowledge to particular communicative

 situations or conducting small‐scale ethnographic or

case study research from home.

Evaluation of intercultural communication as practice

 may occur in the assessment of general language

courses (e.g. translation), but since intercultural

communication is not systematically taught as part

 of general language courses, formalized assessment

 is not widespread. In some institutions, however,

 the practice of writing logbooks is established, and

intercultural awareness is assessed through reflective

 essays.

Any such assessment is likely to be integrated with

other factors associated with advanced language learning.

 There is little sign of role‐play or self‐assessment

being widely practiced, though, in exceptional cases,

 it can be effectively integrated into oral assessment,

e.g. through situation‐based interpreting.

Given that intercultural competence can be separated

 into knowledge, skills and attitudes, only the knowledge

 component can, strictly speaking, be assessed in

 traditional ways.

Skills and attitudes need to be assessed in other ways

 such as role‐play, observation, self‐assessment or

reflection on critical incidents. Yet such assessment

practices are not widespread within European higher

education language programs.

 “The empirical results reported herein should be

considered in the light of some limitations.”

1-Time constraints

Just as researchers have deadlines to turn in their

class papers, academic researchers also must

meet the deadline for submitting a research

manuscript to a journal. Therefore, the time

available to study a research problem and to

measure change over time is constrained by

 the deadline of my “assignment.”

I should have Made sure I choose a research problem that

I will be able to complete well before the assignment’s

deadline. If time constraints negatively impacted my study

in any way, acknowledge this impact by mentioning a

need for a future study (e.g., a longitudinal study) to

answer this research problem.

2-Conflicts arising from cultural bias and

other personal issues

Researchers might be biased views due to their cultural

backgrounds or perspectives of certain phenomena,

and this can affect a study’s legitimacy. Also, it is possible

that researchers will have biases toward data and results

that only support their hypotheses or arguments. In order

to avoid these problems, the author(s) of a study should

examine whether the way the problem was stated and

the data-gathering process were carried out appropriately.

I found a difficulty , but I did it .

3-More study:

I suggest additional studies in the future as the subject

 of my research is of a national importance to my great country.

7-Conclusion

 In conclusion, I provide a brief conclusion that ties each

of the findings together and provides a narrative bridge

 to the discussion section of the your paper. We reached

 to the objectives we set before and the vision we dreamed

of through implementing our mission, goals and objectives.

Through conclusion, I give my recommendations.
