A brief Summary for:
My Project
A Research
(Intercultural communication)
5-To influence. 6-To motivate. 7-To persuade.
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.
The reason for doing such research is that I and
This study enables you to:
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
Ethnic and cultural identity
Cultural identities and ethnicity are becoming more
relational and contextual, as well as constantly evolving.
They are complex, ambiguous and multifaceted.
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 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.
It is commonly understood that culture and cultural
identity
are umbrella terms that subsume racial and
ethnic identity. Culture has
been defined as learned
and shared values, beliefs, thinking patterns and
behavior common to a particular group of people.
Culture forges a group's identity and assists in its survival.
Institutions, language,
social structures and various practices
shared by a group of individuals
are also part of culture.
In addition, the individuals are connected by
an ancestral
heritage, often linked to a particular geographical
location.
Individuals have a sense of belonging to a particular culture
or ethnic group.
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.
Secondary finding result 1 :
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.

communication skills:
Secondary finding result 3 :
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
My research recommended the following:
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.
