Effective Cross -Cultural Communication

When we speak about communication it is imperative to consider it as being cultural — it draws on ways we have learned to speak and give nonverbal messages. We do not always communicate the same way from day to day, since there are factors like context, individual personality, and mood interact usually with the variety of cultural influences we have internalized that influence our choices. Communication is meant to be interactive, so an important influence on its effectiveness is the relationship we have with others. Do they hear and understand what we are trying to say? Are they listening well? Are we listening well in response? Do their responses show that they understand the words and the meanings behind the words we have chosen? Is the mood positive and receptive? Is there trust between them and us? Are there differences that relate to ineffective communication, divergent goals or interests, or fundamentally different ways of seeing the world? The answers to these questions will give us some clues about the effectiveness of our communication and the ease with which we may be able to move through conflict.communication, culture

Cross-cultural communication is a communication that binds the community to become an important part of the culture that brings the community into in it, because the cultural influences inherent from birth. The original culture that brings and becomes a strong part in society and fundamental in society. This study discusses cross-cultural communication in students at the University, which is taken in the private university and another state university at the Bandung. This research looks at food made in cross-cultural communication. The results of the study state that foreign people from Asia prefer typical foods such as fried rice and satay. However, students who are not Asian prefer food that is ate from anywhere they can eat. The Asia student wants to try the variants of food from the difference countries. than Asian prefer the food they eat, this is meaning that food that is more like food from their country is like students and then prefer to cook it themselves. So, that students from Asia prefer food from West Java, while students from outside food from their country so they prefer to cook by themselves. This is not general, just looking at the informants studied in this research article

Correlative Value of Stereotype in Cross-Cultural Communication

Although stereotype has its own defects, it is indispensable in cross-cultural communication. Based on the analysis of the necessity of stereotype in cross-cultural communication, this paper points out that the inherent defects and the logical fallacy of stereotype are the important factors that cause the failure of cross-cultural communication. And communicators should take into account the relavance between stereotype and individual cross-cultural communication behaviors in the process of cross-cultural communication. On the basis of stereotype, cross-cultural communicators should have a good understanding of foreign cultures to make cross-cultural communication effective

Create-A-Culture: An Experiential Approach To Cross Cultural Communication Dynamics

This small group activity uses a pseudo-simulation approach to explore dynamics of enculturation, acculturation, third culture, and diaspora and the resulting influences upon cross-cultural communication competence. All human communication contexts are influenced by perceptual patterns which, in turn, are shaped by culture-based norms and views. Furthermore, as asserted by E.T. Hall, significant linkages exist between a group’s cultural influences and its communication practices. This guided, collaborative learning exercise also draws on the inherent diversity within the students’ personal cultural backgrounds and previous culture-based studies as they work together to create new (hypothetical) co-cultural groups. Through this multi-step exercise, students “experience” the long term processes by which a group develops its culture—as manifested in its observable elements, values, and contextual sensibilities. Students are encouraged to use their imaginations as informed by their historical, geographical, and anthropological knowledge in order to consider beyond their own personal cultural realities. This activity, which can be adjusted to a wide variety of class sizes and session-lengths, accomplishes several additional pedagogical objectives, including: collaborative learning, exploration of culture-based principles, and the application of systems theory to human communication practices (input-throughput-output)
