CROSS CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING-WHAT IS CULTURE?ZUKI SUDIANA
This document discusses culture and cross-cultural communication in the workplace. It raises questions about what culture is, how it differs from others, and what can cause cultural conflicts to arise at work. It also inquires about reducing uncertainty and anxiety through cross-cultural communication strategies, resolving conflicts, and actions that can be taken.
Culture can be defined in several ways:
1. Traditionally, culture referred to civilization as opposed to nature, including high art and intellectual achievements.
2. Anthropologists view culture as a worldview comprising the knowledge, beliefs, arts, and customs acquired by people as members of a society.
3. Cultural anthropologists see culture as systems of symbols people use to communicate and understand each other.
Culture encompasses the distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of a society or group, including art, literature, lifestyles, beliefs and values.
Speech function, politeness and cross cultural communicationFira Nursya`bani
This document discusses speech functions, politeness, and cross-cultural communication. It defines different speech functions such as expressive, directive, referential, metalinguistic, poetic, and phatic utterances. The document also discusses how directives concern getting people to do things and can vary based on social distance, relative status, and formality of context. Politeness also varies across cultures and can be shown through positive and negative politeness as well as different address forms and greetings. Miscommunication may occur between cultures with different assumptions about linguistic politeness.
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and awareness. It defines culture as a shared system of meanings and experiences that influence how people view and interact with the world. Cross-cultural communication focuses on how people from different backgrounds communicate across cultures. Culture can influence what people notice and how they make sense of what they see. Barriers to cross-cultural understanding include ethnocentrism, stereotyping, and cultural blindness. Developing cross-cultural awareness and respecting differences are important for effective communication across cultures.
This document outlines the biography and areas of expertise of Dr. I Gede Budasi, an expert in cross-cultural understanding (CCU). It lists his educational background and countries he has visited for international seminars on CCU. The document then outlines specific goals and topics of discussion for CCU, including introductions, verbal/nonverbal communication, relationships, values, and adjusting to new cultures. It provides conceptual frameworks and references for understanding differences between cultures.
This document provides an introduction to cross-cultural understanding (CCU). It defines CCU as dealing with understanding the similarities and differences between cultures, and how people from different cultures communicate and share values. It discusses why understanding cultural differences is important to avoid judgment and perceiving others based only on our own perspective. The document also outlines key dimensions of diversity, and explains why CCU is increasingly important due to trends in globalization, changing demographics, and rising numbers of expatriates. It concludes by outlining steps to develop diversity competence, including increasing awareness, knowledge, skills, and taking action to be more inclusive of other cultures.
Discourse and Genre (the relationship between discourse and genre) Aticka Dewi
We provide some questions to make the discussion clearer
1. What is discourse?
Discourse is the use of language in text and context
2. What is genre?
Genre in linguistics refers to the type and structure of language typically used for a particular purpose in a particular context.
3. What is relationship between discourse and genre?
Discourse analysis is genre analysis. When we analyze discourses, of course we will specify them into more specific types from the characteristics of each discourse. For exampleThe specific type of discourses is called as genre.
4. Why should we use genre to analyze discourse?
Discourse is language in use. It is huge and almost unlimited. So, when we want to analyze discourses, we need a limitation to limit the unlimited things. Here, we use an analogy for this statement. (slide 11,12)
Genre provides limit in discourse.
That is why genre is used to help us divining and analyzing the discourses.
5. How do we analyze discourse through genre?
Example: text “Forklift fatty Improving”.
----------
The text is taken from the newspaper report. As we see in the language features and structures, we can divine it into recount text. It is non fiction, because it is based on real event. And it is written. So, we can say that this discourse has written non-fiction recount genre.
But, we cannot make sure that a type of discourse always has the same characteristics, because discourse is neither absolutely homogenous nor absolutely heterogeneous. Discourse is sometimes heterogeneous. Here, we provide two videos which have the same genre, but quite different in terms of language features and structures.
---------VIDEO
From the videos, we can feel that the first and the second videos are quite different. The structure in the first video is introduction (addressing, personal value), content (some important issues, e.g: financial issues, goals of America, ), closing (hope for American future, blessing). The language features used in the first video is more formal, present tense. The atmosphere created is formal.
From the second video, the structure is introduction (personal value without addressing), content (some goals), closing (. The language features used in the video is mixing, unclear and needs more understanding. The atmosphere created is a bit humorous.
Although they have different characteristics, they have the same genre in term of purpose, that is political genre.
From those videos, we can conclude that we cannot stick to an idea that a genre of discourse always has the same characteristics. AGAIN, discourse is neither absolutely homogenous nor absolutely heterogeneous.
Developing intercultural competence is important for effectively living, traveling, and working abroad. Intercultural competence involves three domains - relationships, communication, and cooperation - as well as traits like respect, flexibility, and curiosity. It is a developmental process that includes increasing awareness, knowledge, skills, and attitudes over time. When teaching culture, it is important to go beyond superficial celebrations of difference and critically examine how social and cultural practices are constructed and contested. Teachers should help students develop skills and mindsets for interacting with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

This document discusses the concept of politeness in language. It begins by defining politeness as having good manners and respect for others. It then addresses some challenges in studying politeness across cultures, noting that apologies or requests can have different meanings. Politeness is used to prevent threats to one's public self-image. Levinson's strategies of politeness are outlined, including positive politeness to connect with others and negative politeness to respect independence. The relationship between linguistic forms and politeness is explored, with references provided for further reading.
This document provides an overview of critical discourse analysis (CDA). It discusses key principles of CDA, including how social and political issues are constructed through language use and how power relations are negotiated in discourse. The document also outlines how CDA explores the connections between language and social context, and how it examines issues like gender, ethnicity and ideology. Several methods of CDA are introduced, such as analyzing framing techniques, multimodality, and identity construction in texts. Criticisms of CDA are noted, as well as suggestions for expanding its analytical tools and approaches.
This document discusses cross-cultural understanding and some of the challenges of adapting to a new culture. It notes that culture is expressed through behaviors, decision-making, ethics and values that develop over many years based on a society's history, geography, language and religion. People visiting a new culture may find some aspects disturbing, which can negatively impact their experience if they do not overcome those responses. One of the biggest challenges is adapting to a culture's non-verbal behaviors and societal norms, as these are deeply ingrained but often unconscious. To understand a group's behaviors, one must understand their dominant cultural values that are passed down through generations. The document provides an analogy that culture is like an iceberg, with observable behaviors
The document is a paper on speech acts that was written by Aseel Kazum Mahmood on January 22nd, 2014. It discusses speech acts from a sociolinguistic perspective and provides definitions and classifications of different types of speech acts, including constative utterances, ethical propositions, phatic utterances, and performative utterances. It also discusses felicity conditions for successful performatives and the concept of phatic communion in language.
This document contains a lesson plan for a Bahasa Inggris (English language) class on congratulating others. The lesson plan outlines the learning objectives, which are to identify the purpose, structure, and language features of expressions used to congratulate others. Students will analyze example texts containing congratulatory expressions and practice constructing their own oral and written texts to congratulate and respond to congratulations. The lesson will be delivered using scientific and discovery-based learning approaches over one 40-minute class period. Assessment of students' spiritual attitudes will be through a learning journal, while their social attitudes will be through observation.
SOCIOLINGUISTIC about LANGUAGE AND CULTUREAnisa Asharie
The document discusses the relationship between language and culture in three main points:
1) Language is closely tied to the culture of its speech community, as a community's culture consists of what members have to know to operate acceptably.
2) While communities can share similar cultures but different languages, the close relationship between language and culture has long been studied. A language reflects the values of its speakers' culture.
3) Approaching foreign language teaching with an understanding of the target culture can help address issues of misunderstanding that may arise from cultural differences in word meanings.
This document provides an overview of discourse analysis including definitions, approaches, and how it relates to other fields. It defines discourse analysis as the study of language use beyond the sentence level, including how language functions in social and cultural contexts. Three main approaches are discussed: speech act theory which examines communicative acts, ethnography of communication which analyzes patterns of communication in cultures, and pragmatics which studies how context informs meaning. The document also explains how discourse analysis relates to other fields like sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and pragmatics through their shared interests but different data sources.
This document discusses language maintenance and shift. It defines language maintenance as the continuing use of a minority language in the face of a dominant language, while language shift refers to one language displacing another in a community's linguistic repertoire. The document then examines factors that can contribute to language shift, including the prestige of the dominant language, economic pressures, and institutional domains like schools. It analyzes language shift patterns among migrant minorities, non-migrant minorities, and migrant majorities. Finally, it discusses factors that accelerate language shift and ways that minority languages can be maintained, such as through community ties, contact with homelands, institutional support, and positive language attitudes.
This document discusses cross-cultural communication with Americans. It begins by defining key terms like culture, communication, and cross-cultural communication. It then explores concepts like mainstream culture, individual behavior, generalizations, stereotypes, and the melting pot vs mosaic descriptions of American society. Specific aspects of American culture discussed include values around individualism, direct communication styles, and differences in verbal and nonverbal communication between cultures. The document examines the adjustment process for those in a new culture and potential sources of cross-cultural conflict and misunderstanding.
This document discusses cultural awareness and differences. It begins by defining culture and explaining that it is relative, learned, and changes over time. It then discusses some forces that shape individual cultures like values, beliefs, education, and religion. The document outlines some dangers of stereotypes and ethnocentrism. It provides examples of cultural differences in areas like eating habits, religion, family structures, communication, and time. It stresses the importance of understanding other cultural frameworks and seeing cultural differences as creative problem-solving opportunities. The document also discusses the stages of cultural adaptation like honeymoon, initial confrontation, adjustment crisis, and recovery.
1) The document discusses approaches to teaching culture as part of language learning. It emphasizes that culture is not just knowledge about a place and people, but a framework for how they live and communicate.
2) Two main approaches to teaching culture are outlined: a static approach focusing on facts about artifacts and institutions, and a dynamic approach involving active engagement and understanding processes and practices.
3) An intercultural framework is recommended that combines cultural content, learning as an active process, and developing intercultural competence and identity. This moves beyond just learning about another culture to making choices in real communication.
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and dealing with cultural conflicts in the workplace. It addresses how culture shapes our identities and how misunderstandings can arise from differing cultural norms between people. The document provides strategies for reducing uncertainty when communicating with strangers from different cultures, such as passively observing, actively seeking information, or directly interacting with them. It also discusses how to resolve conflicts that arise from cultural differences and ways to prevent discrimination in the workplace.
This document discusses spoken language and discourse types. It begins by defining speaking as an interactive process of constructing meaning through producing, receiving and processing information. It then discusses how speaking has evolved from repetition drills to focusing on communicative skills. The document outlines different types of spoken discourse like conversations, interviews, and stories. It also examines elements of discourse like turn-taking, topics, adjacency pairs, and the structure of narratives. The conclusion emphasizes that understanding spoken discourse types helps create more authentic speaking activities for language learners.
This document discusses reference and sense as two aspects of semantics. Reference deals with the relationship between language and the real world, referring to things that exist. Sense deals with relationships within language itself and does not refer to anything in the real world. While an expression can have only one reference, it can have multiple senses. The sense of an expression is its meaning and place within the semantic system of a language. Reference and sense are related but different - an expression has meaning (sense) but not necessarily a reference, and two expressions can have the same referent but different senses.
Chapter 10 style, context and registerrebassabouri
The document discusses style, register, and context in language. It makes the following key points:
1. Style refers to the level of formality in speech, while register is a way of speaking associated with an occupational or activity group. Context refers to the words surrounding a part of discourse that help determine its meaning.
2. Accommodation theory suggests speakers adjust their speech, converging or diverging, based on the addressee. Convergence involves matching the speech of the addressee, while divergence emphasizes differences.
3. Context and the addressee influence speech style. Formal contexts require formal styles, while informal contexts allow casual styles. Age, social roles, and status also
This document discusses discourse and genre. It defines discourse as a group of sentences that link propositions together to form a coherent unit. Genre is defined as a patterned and purposeful type of communication that is part of a culture. The document explains that discourse analysis is a type of genre analysis, and genres have distinguishing structures, purposes, language features and relationships to social contexts. It provides examples of common text genres like narratives, recounts and procedures to illustrate how analyzing genres can help analyze discourse.
1) Language and culture are intricately interwoven and influence each other. Language both reflects and shapes culture.
2) Culture can be defined as the patterns of behaviors, beliefs, and values that are learned and shared by a group of people. It includes thoughts, communications, languages, practices, and expected behaviors.
3) Teaching culture is important as it provides understanding of different perspectives and improves cultural competence. Techniques for teaching culture include using authentic materials and focusing on cultural themes.
This document discusses teaching English to young learners. It begins by outlining the characteristics of younger and older language learners. Younger learners have a holistic approach to language and limited reading/writing skills, while older learners show more analytical thinking and developed literacy skills. The document recommends teaching listening and speaking skills first through a natural approach. It also discusses several theories that inform teaching English to young learners, including the importance of comprehension over production, scaffolding learning, and creating a print-rich environment. The document concludes by outlining some strategies and classroom language for teaching English to young learners in Indonesia.
The document defines key terms related to culture and society such as mainstream culture, individual behavior, generalization, stereotype, melting pot, mosaic, minority, majority, homogeneous, and heterogeneous. It then discusses the meaning of the term "American" and provides a description of Americans as coming from diverse immigrant and refugee groups with a common cultural heritage based on diversity. The document observes American values that influence behavior such as personal control, change, equality, individualism, self-help, future orientation, action orientation, informality, and materialism.
This document discusses nonverbal communication and cultural differences in nonverbal cues. It begins by defining nonverbal communication as communication without words, including facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and personal space. It then explains that while some expressions like fear or disgust are universal, most nonverbal cues differ across cultures and must be understood in context. The document proceeds to discuss specific types of nonverbal communication like gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, and personal space or conversational distance. It notes that the interpretation of nonverbal cues can vary significantly between cultures and outlines some examples, such as differences in smiling, grief expressions, friendship displays, and eye contact norms. The purpose is to increase awareness of nonverbal communication and how its meaning depends on
This document discusses opinion leadership and the two-step flow theory of communication. It defines opinion leaders as engaged individuals who influence others by interpreting messages from mass media before passing them on. While two-step flow was traditionally studied in face-to-face contexts, online communities now allow opinion leadership to also occur digitally. Several studies are highlighted that explore how bloggers, microbloggers, and political figures on Twitter can act as online opinion leaders and influence word-of-mouth marketing. The document concludes that as long as people belong to the same online communities, they may be influenced by opinion leaders within those spaces.
This document discusses the concept of politeness in language. It begins by defining politeness as having good manners and respect for others.

The Revenge of Subcultures: the real value of Social Media for brandsLaurent François
This deck aims to demonstrate that marketers shape a wrong targeting for the social brands, focusing only on demographics and "average" consumers. But analysing average behaviors can only drive to weak and non relevant communication pillars, then a strong dismissal of consumers against brand digital properties.
This demonstration has been presented during Digital Shoreditch 2013, Future Brands day, by Laurent Francois
Cross Culture Understanding (CCU) Family : Types and Traditions in AmericaAyu Retno Aditya
This document discusses different types of families and traditions in the United States. It covers topics such as newborns typically getting their own rooms, over 50% of young adults aged 18-24 living with their parents, senior citizens often living alone or socializing at centers, the importance of both nuclear and extended families, traditional gender roles with husbands working and wives raising children, high remarriage rates for divorced couples, and the diversity of modern families beyond just married couples with children.

The presentation was given by N. Chandra Sekhar, an MBA student at Prabhath Institution of Business Management, under the guidance of Assistant Professor Raghavendra Prasad.
Raising children is a major responsibility that requires imparting a value system to help guide them. As young adults, children are encouraged to leave home and begin independent lives between 18-21 years old. For elderly family members, financial support often comes from social security rather than dependence on family. While the nuclear family is traditionally considered the standard family structure in the US, extended families including grandparents and other relatives are more common in other cultures. The modern American family is changing with higher rates of separation, divorce, and single-parent families resulting in less stable structures.

It provides examples of ethnic, religious, age and disabilities subcultures. The document also gives examples of companies like McDonald's, Burger King, IKEA, Barbican, United Colors of Benetton and Nescafe that target specific subcultures in their marketing.
Culture is shared among people living together in a society, is learned from adults through enculturation rather than being innate, and relies on symbolic communication like language to develop and exchange complex ideas. An integrated culture requires all aspects like language to work together to effectively transmit functions, ideas, and ideals between members of a society.
This document discusses social class and its impact on consumer behavior. It defines social class as a continuum based on social position in a society. Social class is hierarchical and reflects a person's relative social status and prestige. Individuals compare themselves to others to determine their social standing through status consumption. Social class can be measured objectively using indexes that consider factors like occupation, education, and income. Marketers must understand how social class influences factors like shopping preferences, leisure activities, spending habits, and responses to advertising. However, social class is difficult to measure and individual dimensions may better predict behavior.

The document discusses social class and its relationship to consumer behavior. It defines social class as the hierarchical division of society based on status, and examines how social class is measured through subjective, reputational, and objective means. Some of the key social class categories discussed are the upper-upper class, lower-upper class, upper-middle class, lower-middle class, upper-lower class, lower-lower class, and the affluent consumer. The document also explores indexes used to measure social class composites like the Index of Status Characteristics and Socioeconomic Status Score.
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and provides tips for improving it. There are four fundamental patterns of cultural difference: communication styles, attitudes toward conflicts, decision making, and approaches to knowledge. High context cultures rely heavily on non-verbal cues while low context cultures rely more on words. Gestures can have different meanings across cultures. Barriers to cross-cultural communication include ethnocentrism, discrimination, stereotyping, cultural blindness, and cultural imposition. Ways to improve include slowing down, separating questions, avoiding negatives, taking turns, checking meanings, and maintaining etiquette. Developing skills like respecting differences, building trust, understanding body language, and connecting with people can help overcome cultural barriers.
This document summarizes the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century.

Incorporate strategies for success in learning a second language. This slide show is connected to my presentation at the TESOL Convention, March 27, 2010.
Similar to CROSS CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING-INTRODUCTION (20)
This document discusses the consonant "R" and the difficulties learners face when acquiring the pronunciation of "R" sounds, known as rhotics, in a second language. Rhotics can be produced differently across languages, such as a tap in Spanish versus a prolonged airflow in English. The variation in articulation of rhotics makes them challenging for second language learners, though language acquisition takes time and practice and leads to powerful results.
Phonethic mr irpan aspect of connected speech chapter 14ZUKI SUDIANA
This document discusses four aspects of connected speech: rhythm, assimilation, elision, and linking. It defines each aspect and provides examples. Rhythm refers to the regular occurrence of stressed and unstressed syllables. Assimilation is the change in pronunciation of sounds due to surrounding sounds, including place of articulation, manner, and voice. Elision is the omission of sounds, especially vowels and consonants, in casual speech. Linking describes how words and sounds are connected together according to five basic rules.
Part of speech refers to the functional role that a word plays in a sentence. There are 8 main parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Nouns name people, places, things, and ideas. Pronouns replace nouns. Adjectives describe nouns. Verbs indicate actions or states of being. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Prepositions show relationships of time, place, and direction. Conjunctions connect words and sentences. Interjections express emotions.
Nasals and other consonants group 1 marissa & zukiZUKI SUDIANA
This document discusses nasal consonants and lateral consonants. It defines nasal consonants as sounds where air escapes through the nose during production, giving examples of the nasal consonants in English. It describes the three types of closure involved in producing nasal consonants. It then defines lateral consonants as sounds where the back of the tongue contacts the hard palate while the front of the tongue lowers, channeling air around the sides of the tongue. It distinguishes between two types of lateral consonants and notes that rhotics, or 'r' sounds, vary significantly across languages in their articulation.
The document discusses stress and syllables in English words. It explains that stress affects pronunciation by making syllables longer, higher in pitch, or louder. Words can change meaning depending on which syllable is stressed. For example, "contract" is a noun with stress on the first syllable, while "contract" is a verb with stress on the second syllable. Adjectives are sometimes distinguished from verbs by stress placement as well. The document provides examples of how stress impacts the meaning of phrases like "blackboard" versus "black board".

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
