Abstract



Intercultural communication




Cross-cultural understanding


This thesis has been written on commission by me, Girgis

Hanna Haroun, a supervisor of English at high schools and

colleges in Egypt. Several preliminary interviews made

 us very interested at the situations at schools and helped

 us to formulate our research question: “How does

communication affect the productivity of schools,

 organizations, societies,communities all over the world?"


Moreover, it made our research have two purposes, one of

academic character, and one of practical character.

The academic purpose is in investigating relationship

 between communication, culture and language,

 i.e. efficiency and productivity. The practical purpose

 is in giving analysis-based recommendations about

possible ways to increase productivity

and efficiency to our educational organizations.



The findings of our research revealed that words,

 grammatical study, diverse cultures and texts have roles.

Communication is a dynamic interactive process that

involves the effective transmission of facts, ideas, thoughts,

 feelings, cultures and values.

 



Intercultural communication skills are those required to

 communicate, or share information, with people from

other cultures and social groups.Communication is

instrumental or directly satisfies certain needs like

physical, emotional, social, psychological.



1-To inform.           2-To entertain.       3-To regulate.

4-To instruct.
 
5-To influence.      6-To motivate.        7-To persuade.      

8-To inquire.


Types of Communication include oral and written

communication, verbal and Non-verbal communication.

Communication steps include; 

1-Ideation:

2-Encoding

3-Transmission:

4-Decoding

5-Feedback.


 



Intercultural communication



or



Cross-cultural understanding



1-Introduction



 Cross-cultural understanding

means learning to value other cultures and

respect their views. This comes when people

move from thinking that “different” means

“wrong,” to thinking that there might be

another way, to being tolerant and accepting.


Learning how to make new discoveries that will contribute

to a better understanding of how natural language is used

and processed in real-life situations. Whenever we use

 language – whether it’s written, spoken or signed – we’re

communicating. How does this work, and how and why

does miscommunication occur? How does language fit

together and how do we learn to understand each other?



This study provides a research devoted to the

 interdisciplinary study of language and communication.

The investigation of language and its communication

 functions is treated as a concern shared in common

by those working in applied linguistics, child development,

 cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history,

 legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology,

 linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics,

psychology, rhetoric and semiotics.


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.


 



Our overall goal is to understand how language is

 actually used, when it is used effectively, and why.

 For instance, how do particular text characteristics

 interact with a reader's cognitive architecture such

 that information is conveyed in a coherent,

comprehensible way? How does language

interact with people's emotional and motivational

architecture so that it effectively moves or persuades

 them?


1-The Research Vision, Mission and

Objectives



The vision is (Communication between learners,

individuals, societies, nations and countries all over

 the world).


The mission is Doing research theses

The Objectives are:Solving problems that arise from the

diverse cultures and their conflicts inside the education

organizations and among nations.


2-A problem needs a solution


 The differences and disputes between individuals,

 societies and communities come out of the differences

 in communication that result from the differences in

 languages and cultures.


 


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.


We faced a problem that needs a an urgent solution.

The problem is: We, the researching group, noticed

that the learning outcomes of high schools and

colleges are low. Learners didn't practice Languages

 as means of communication. They used languages

 as subjects to be memorized to answer its exercises

only through written tests.People differ because of the

 difference in cultures, words, sentences, languages

 and cultures.

 



3-Reasons for the research:


The reason for doing such research is that I and

 my colleagues noticed that some organizations and

 schools did not work as efficiently as they could, and

 senior managers have encountered various problems.

There is no proper communication. Complaints were

 numerous.



People worked in terms of only firm accountability

and punishment. People differ because of the

difference in cultures, words, sentences, language

s and cultures. There was no communication between

 the wars fighting countries.



There was no vision, no mission, no objectives, no

team work, no love or respect and no good performance.

We have been asked to estimate the situation, analyze it,

and come up with solutions which could increase

efficiency and productivity;



in other words, increase organizational performance.

After preliminary interviews with the senior managers

and teachers at schools, we have identified our areas

of the interest: ( Practice creats communication,

Communication and culture, Communication and

language).


 



4- The researching questions:


How dodo language, culture and grammar affect

 communication among learners and people?

How we make education organizations perform well

and learning outcomes high through using language

as a means of communication in life? How do people

and nations overcome the differences in languages,

ideas, thoughts, cultures ?



5-The problem solutions


Cultured diverse employers and employees must l

earn academically and practice actually the roles

 played by leadership, organizational culture,

motivation and commitment.



6-Objectives:


This study enables you to:

1-Use the words, grammar constructions and texts

 in communication 2-know that Language has

influence on actions and exchanges of information.

3-deepen your knowledge of everything from how

 language interacts with culture and media to how

 language changes over time and how language

 enhances cognitive abilities. 


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.


Individuals undergo self- and cultural identity

transformation in order to achieve understanding,

 harmony and balance within themselves and their

environment, and in their connection with others.


Cultures also change in this process, because social,

 political, economic and historical influences affect

 cultural and intercultural interactions.

Cultural groups reflect, re-create, unify, and maintain

their ethnic and cultural identities.

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 identity



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.




Cultural identity


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.

 





2-Materials and Methods


In order to find out the answer to the research question

 and to fulfill both purposes of the research, we have

 conducted a qualitative research.We used types of

 qualitative research methods like an in-depth interview,

 focus groups, ethnographic research, content analysis

 and case study research that are usually used.



This has been done by interviewing twenty schools

managers and 20 educational leaders or administers

 beside 50 teachers and senior teachers working at

schools and education zones and supervision. 

These semi-structured interviews resulted in

qualitative data, which had been processed and

 analyzed using coding technique.

 




Our research used 2 methods:


One of academic character, and one of

practical character.


1-The academic purpose is in investigating

relationship between organizational structure,

 leadership, and communication and organizational

 performance, i.e. efficiency and productivity.



2-The practical purpose is in giving analysis-based

 recommendations about possible ways to increase

 productivity and efficiency to our educational

 organizations.


3-We used interviews, lectures, debates, experiencing,

 observations, analysis, synthesis, assessment,

 feedback and evaluation.



4-We held workshops, modeling, training units

authentic field practice in actual fields and we

 assessed, followed and evaluated what we

recommended academically before.


It took 3 months to conduct our experiences that

 we acquired from our professors in East Anglia

University, England.

 



Outcomes and impact –

My PhD research mustn't be put on a library shelf to be stored like the ones that couldn't be benefited from.  My PhD a practical  and relevant research. It is a message of progress, development, promotion and the only solution for the problems that people in charge of education , planners, administrators, teachers, learners, course content authors and people of assessment all over the world.



1-My research is Significant :

My proposed research will be academically significant. To do this properly, I acknowledge relevant existing scholarship and I explain how my research will relate to it. I am able to show how my PhD will contribute to its field and – ideally – indicate some of the gaps in knowledge it will aim to fill.


2-My research is feasible / doable:


1-Each education association must know that the education
policy is based on using critical thinking skills not just attainment or learning by heart.


2- Many training units, workshops, conferences and webinars must be held




3-My PhD is worthwhile.:

My research deals with a very vital and important problem that causes worry to all people all over the world. It is actual. It touches our lives everywhere. If we solve the problems of education, all programs of sustainable development will succeed.



4-I suggest what will become possible.

1-Other researchers can use or build upon my research results.  My research will close  the gaps of the missing relation between the education policy,curriculum and assessment in academic knowledge.

2- I am ready to do workshops, webinars,conferences, training units and meetings to do professional development visits and meetings for the teachers in my country with attendance or through using technology.

3- I can use my global education sites and my blog to do professional development meetings to all teachers all over the world with attendance or through using my sites, emails or the university platform..

4- If the people in charge put me in charge of implementing my project in my country, I will enter classes with the company of teachers and senior teachers of English and do model lessons based on using critical thinking skills.

5- If I was asked to do professional development anywhere all over the world, I am ready to do the same to add my knowledge to humanity.

6- I am ready to be in touch with any university or any education association all over the world to give a hand .

7- My project is worthy and doable. It doesn't cost much money or funding. It is easy not difficult. It is very possible.

 





5-Discussion


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

different .

 




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.

 



6-Limitations


 “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.


     Leading a multicultural team is very important.

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.




We reached to the objectives we set before and the vision

we dreamed of through implementing our mission, goals and

objectives. All people at any organization knew and practiced

their work according to the organization principles, values,

vision, mission, goals and objectives. All people became loyal

to their organization in terms of communication, responsibility,

tolerance, understanding, good relation, teamwork, love,

respect, the ideal atmosphere that paved the way to creation

and innovation.



Also, the leaders worked in terms of communication,

 sharing, mercy, rewards, listening to complaints and

 speaking, justice, responsibility, equality, solving

 problems, Democracy,,commercial awareness and

 technical skills.
