Week 8 Assignment

I really enjoyed taking this class we have been through so many articles when it comes to

communication and different intercultural styles. I really didn’t know what to pick for this

assignment, but I decided to do mines in intercultural experiences. Being African American

female growing up in a small town was very hard for me and my siblings. My mother died at a

very young age, so my father had to raise me. My dad also grew his crops in our back yard and

that’s basically how we ate from day to day. Back then we had no washing machines, so we had

to wash by hand and we also had a well outside the house for water. My dad was a very good

cook, so he prepared all types of dishes and they were very good. He allowed the homeless

people to stay because the house was so big he had a big heart and it was all about helping and

loving. I was looking for an article and I ended up finding one on intercultural communication

when it comes to teaching. When I was in school in wasn’t different styles of teaching like it is

today. We didn’t have textbooks we had to take lots of notes and listen to our teachers. Now in

schools it has changed because they have all types of technology and they can plenty textbooks.

Where I live they have North Carolina Lottery and this all helps with children’s educations. We

didn’t have people from other countries in the US like we do today, so I never really had

intercultural experiences with other people like I do today whether it’s in passing at the stores or

in schools.

Abstract

Within an increasingly global marketplace, discussions of intercultural communication are

important in business and technical communication classrooms. Although many business and

technical communication textbooks integrate discussions of intercultural communication, they do

not go far enough in engaging the complicated nature of this issue. This article summarizes

recent literature about the importance of paying attention to intercultural communication and

analyzes the productive approaches in popular business and technical communication textbooks.

It presents five challenges for business and technical communication teachers to consider and

includes teaching modules that address these challenges. Although the article focuses on

classroom practice, such intercultural explorations are also of value to authors of business and

technical communication textbooks, who might consider integrating modules such as these into

their textbooks.
