What did you say? A tutorial on intercultural communicationFrederick Zarndt
What one says to compatriots in face-to-face conversation is often misunderstood; imagine the
possibilities for misunderstandings with someone from halfway around the world, natively
speaking another language, and living in a different culture! In such circumstances how can you
be sure that your collocutor has understood you in face-to-face (hard), telephone (harder), and
email (hardest) conversations?
The ubiquity of English facilitates basic communication, but its use as a common language
frequently disguises cultural differences. Regardless of language, clear communication is essential for success in any collaborative undertaking whether done by a small co-located group or by a globally dispersed team.
This tutorial describes frameworks useful in understanding cultural differences and gives real-life
examples of misunderstandings due to such differences. Expect to take away practical tools to
understand your own cultural biases and in-class practice to boost your communication abilities
with colleagues from other cultures. You will also learn about frameworks for understanding other
cultures based on work by Geert Hofstede, Fons Trompenaars, and others as well as on the
presenter's own experiences.
Body language can have different meanings across cultures. Nodding the head means yes in most Western cultures but no in parts of Greece and Turkey. Making eye contact is encouraged in North America and Europe but considered rude in most Asian countries and parts of Africa. Gestures like thumbs up, peace signs, and OK signals can have positive, negative, or completely different meanings depending on the region. It is important to be aware of these cultural differences in body language to avoid misunderstandings.
The document discusses body language and its importance in communication. It notes that much of communication is nonverbal, with only 7% coming from words. It explores various body language signals from different parts of the body like hands, arms, and face that can indicate states like openness, confidence, anxiety and more. Cultural differences in signals are also addressed. The document encourages observing both oneself and others to get better at interpreting body language.
What you say is often far less important than how you say it. One of the harbingers of success is understanding how nonverbal cues such as body language, dress, and demeanor affect how you are perceived and understood. In this book Arif Anis, Psychologist, personal development coach and author of 'Follow Your Dream' demonstrates how to modify your subconscious statements to your greatest advantage and also read what other people are 'saying' nonverbally. These skills will increase your ability to accurately assess moods, decode behaviors, anticipate problems, avoid hidden pitfalls, influence negotiations, and understand the secret motivations of those around you.
