The first edition of Intercultural Interactions pioneered the 18-theme "culture-general" framework that has become the basis of work and research with a diverse array of populations, from interpreters for the deaf to helping professionals in multicultural settings and businesspeople around the world. Even more comprehensive in its scope and now with a practical new user′s guide, the second edition expands coverage to draw the reader in--with more vivid scenarios and examples reflecting changing world events and social milieu. Updated essays integrate these critical incidents, incorporating the most current developments in the field of cross-cultural training. A special chapter, the user′s guide provides practical, time-saving suggestions for using the book in a variety of training programs as well as preparing for the cross-cultural experience. Across the spectrum of professional, educational, and personal settings, the second edition of Intercultural Interactions offers a key framework for living, interpreting, and assimilating cross-cultural experiences. This book is integral for use in culture-centered training and research programs, college coursework in psychology and global management, programs for overseas business people and study abroad students, and multicultural health care and mental health settings. [all the quotes here are:] Praise for the first edition . . . "Brislin and his coauthors have developed a most interesting training device designed to aid sojourners, executives, teachers, and others during the inevitable adjustment period they will face whenever they go to another culture or country. The book will primarily be seen as a helpful aid to anyone who is interested in training and evaluating those who are preparing for ′close encounters of the other-culture kind.′ However, it will also be welcomed by many academicians as a useful way in which to discuss certain social psychological principles, such as attribution processes or dimensions of interpersonal attraction." --from the Preface by Walter J. Lonner & John W. Berry "The appearance of Intercultural Interactions is a major event for researchers and trainers in the field of cross-cultural communication. The critical incidents and essays presented are intensely practical in their orientation, broad in their coverage of the main problem areas, and deep in the insights they provide." --Geert Hofstede, University of Limburg at Maastricht, The Netherlands "This admirable volume is addressed to the lay person. The purpose of the educational materials in this book is to assist people when they must adjust to life in another country, or to assist them when they are to interact extensively with people from other cultural backgrounds." --Contributions to Indian Sociology "The authors carefully describe the process they used to develop the training materials, giving convincing empirical evidence of their validity. Those who prepare sojourners will find the result of their work to be a highly useful resource." --Review and Expositor

Intercultural communication competence is an indispensable ability for people to interact appropriately and effectively across nations and regions in the globalized world. Competent intercultural communication enables people to reach mutual understanding as well as reciprocal relationships. In recent decades, considerable progress has been made in the research of intercultural communication competence. However, due to its complexity, many problems remain unanswered and need to be addressed. This book seeks to conceptualize intercultural communication competence from diverse perspectives, explore its re-conceptualization in globalization, and investigate its development in cultural contexts and interaction scenarios. A group of leading international scholars in different academic disciplines join to map out a comprehensive picture, providing an in-depth and up-to-date work on intercultural communication competence. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach and enhances readers’ understanding on the concept of intercultural communication competence. It is a useful source for educators, researchers, students and professionals.

As the editors of this volume point out, one certainty in life is that people must interact with others from very different cultural backgrounds--whether or not they are prepared to do so. The modules in this volume encourage productive and effective intercultural interactions in business, educational, social, and health services settings. Each module--a collection of materials for cross-cultural training programs--has a similar structure. They all have a combination of experiential exercises, self-assessment instruments, traditional "text" material describing concepts and the research methods necessary in using a given module, and case studies and/or critical incidents. Among the subjects Improving Intercultural Interactions addresses are gender relations in the workplace, intercultural education at the university level, intercultural communication for health care professionals, multicultural counseling, and nonverbal behavior in intercultural interaction. Improving Intercultural Interactions is a valuable resource for consultants, counselors, personnel officers, and others who offer various kinds of cross-cultural training programs. It is also useful as a supplemental text in graduate and undergraduate courses dealing with culture and behavior. "The present volume . . . aims at supplying not only valuable ideas and ideals but most of all practical guidelines to all those interested in carrying out satisfactory training programs." --Language, Culture, and Curriculum "An excellent practical guide to intercultural sensitivity, in the business world; elementary, secondary, and tertiary level schools; and social service and health delivery agencies. Each chapter provides opportunities for self-assessment, cases, critical incidents, constructs that can develop skills in analyzing intercultural situations, opportunities to practice these skills, and field exercises to test the newly acquired sensitivity. It increases awareness of culture and cultural differences, provides facts that can help adjustment, suggests ways to feel appropriately for interaction with members of other cultures, and opportunities to identify and practice skills that can assist in adjustment to other cultures." --Harry C. Triandis, University of Illinois "Improving Intercultural Interactions represents the next step forward in resource books for trainers, teachers, professors, organizational developers and the like who are in constant need of upgrading the results of their cross-cultural training programs. . . . It presents sequences of training processes from self-assessment and critical incidents through the development of an understanding of cultural concepts and frameworks to exercises targeted to cause the learner to experience and practice an array of behaviors or actions in appropriate cross-cultural problem situations. The fact that each of the books′ modules ends with suggested actions based on specific examples helps lead the learner to a position where he or she can develop personally and culturally relevant strategies for their workplace situation. This book will serve as a resource for persons in culturally diverse work situations, whether it be business, education, health, or a broad array of other public and private organizations." --Sheldon Varney, University of Hawaii at Manoa

With internationalization high on the agenda of education providers worldwide, the complex relationship between intercultural communication and the international student phenomenon deserves close study. Being an international student is a great opportunity to be exposed to a new language and culture and to develop intercultural communication skills. Traditionally, the phrase ‘international students’ refers to those who undertake all or part of their education in a country other than their own. For present purposes, though, we adopt a broad definition of the phrase to include transnational education (TNE) students, who are often regarded as international students by their awarding institutions. The number of international students pursuing tertiary education reached 6.3 million in 2020 (up from 2 million in 2000), and this number continues to grow (UNESCO Institute of Statistics, 2023). The recent decade has also seen a tremendous expansion of TNE, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, both in terms of size and scale. TNE is the delivery of education in a country other than the one in which the degree-granting institution is based. TNE takes many diverse forms, including dual degrees, joint institutes, and international branch campuses, to name but a few. In many cases, students can get a foreign degree without ever leaving their home country or region. Research on international students is often scattered across different disciplines, including communication, education, psychology, and language and linguistics. The field of intercultural communication (a term often used interchangeably with 'cross-cultural communication') investigates how people from different cultural backgrounds communicate. The combination of intercultural communication and international students is a broad and fascinating topic of research. Extant research on the topic has mainly focused on the following areas: international students’ perceptions of intercultural communication, the difficulties faced by international students, and the correlations between different variables; e.g., intercultural communication competence and effectiveness, intergroup anxiety, intercultural sensitivity, attitude towards other cultures, (meta)stereotypes, sensation seeking, ethnocentrism, empathy, mindfulness, and motivation to engage in intercultural communication. These studies have offered valuable insights into the predictors of intercultural communication competence and effectiveness and the pathways for developing this competence and effectiveness. However, intercultural communication and international students is a complex topic that requires a multifaceted approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries. Research on the topic is lagging behind the growth of student numbers, and there are many gaps and underexplored areas. For example, TNE students have rarely been studied from an intercultural communication perspective, and international students’ perceptions of intercultural communication are much less explored than those of faculty and home students. Additionally, while academic advising has been found to be vital to international student success, academic advisers have reported a lack of institutional training on how to deal with international students. The actual intercultural interactions of, and with, international students have rarely been studied in detail. Against this background, this Research Topic seeks to create interdisciplinary dialogue and cooperation, exploring the gaps and underexamined areas of intercultural communication and international students. Themes to be addressed include, but are not limited to, the following: • language and communication • intercultural communication competence and effectiveness • intercultural interaction • international student experience • transnational education (TNE) • internationalization.

Intercultural Communication: Pathways to Better Interactions empowers students to know what to do when they encounter cultural difference in talk. The book gives them strategies for identifying and making sense of cultural difference, and for using that knowledge to restore coordinated interaction with cultural others for the purpose of completing specific tasks. Practical in focus, grounded in social interaction, and written in a strong narrative style replete with concrete examples, author David Boromisza-Habashi deftly explores the primary challenge of effective intercultural communication in our globalized world: the ability to properly coordinate interactions to achieve shared meaning. The vital importance of understanding cultural communication, and how it relates to being a responsible member of society, is stressed throughout. The weaving of scholarly work and everyday encounters highlights the role of inquiry as not just an academic endeavor but as an everyday practice. Strategies for coordinating intercultural encounters in the real world encourage readers to take action and recognize that this work and learning doesn't end when the course ends. Rather, it is a process, one that should be an ongoing part of their lives. Key Updates to This Edition: Clarifies the process and experience of building culture and features new content on identity and othering in intercultural communication. Reflects the latest scholarship and thinking in the field throughout the book. Contains a completely new chapter (Chapter 14) as well as thoroughly revised ones (Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 11). The pragmatic, thought-provoking approach of this book is timely, useful, and relevant. Intercultural Communication: Pathways to Better Interactions is the ideal textbook for students of intercultural communication who wish to create and foster meaningful social interactions.
