Intercultural Communication (IC) • Intercultural communication takes place when the sender and the receiver are from different cultures. • Communication can be very difficult if there • is a big difference between the two cultures. • If there is too much ‘cultural noise’, • communication can break down • completely. ICEE / Cindy Lee

  5. Key Concepts of IC • Cultural differences or misunderstanding won’t simply dissolve because two people speak the same language. • To guarantee successful communication, cultural understanding is crucial. • Intercultural competence thus becomes the 5th element of language ability (in addition to the traditional 4 skills [聽說讀寫] ). ICEE / Cindy Lee
