Intercultural Communication Training Manual. Volume 1
Abstract
The purpose of this manual is to provide a course development method that deals with all aspects of intercultural communication, not just the linguistic aspect. The first chapter orients the reader to the approach of the manual. Chapters Two and Three provide specific steps that guide the developer through all stages of course development. Chapter Four presents a model of communication processing, describes the kinds of information and processing abilities individuals must have, and gives recommendations for collecting this data. Chapter Five presents an outline of culture content and organization including topics which deal with the activities, practices, and technology of peoples as well as the groups they belong to; these topics are explained and exemplified, sources of cultural information are discussed, and a filing system for cultural data is provided. Chapter Six presents the empirically determined interaction modes and their realization in illustrative prototype models.
