    Various Cultural

    and Intercultural
    Modes of
    Communication

    By: Group 3
    Types of Cultural
    Communications:

    Cross cultural communication

    International Communication

    Multicultural Communication

    Intercultural communication
    Examples of Cultural
    Differences:

    1. Arabic language is written from right to


    left

    2. In America, people shake hands or even


    hug, in other country they bow.

    3. In the Philippines they kiss the hand of the


    elders to show respect.
    Intercultural
    Communication:
    – Refers to the effective communication between
    people/workers clients of different cultural
    background. It also includes managing thought
    patterns and non-verbal communication.
    • Interpersonal: the active negotiation of meaning
    among individuals.
    • Interpretive: the appropriate cultural interpretation
    of meanings that occur in written and spoken form
    with no recourse to negotiate the meaning with the
    writer or speaker.
    • Presentational: the creation of oral and written
    messages that facilitates interpretation by members
    of the other culture with no recourse to actively
    negotiate the meaning between the two cultures.
    Intercultural mode of
    Communication
    – is the verbal and nonverbal interaction between people
    from different cultural backgrounds. Basically, 'inter-' is a
    prefix that means 'between' and cultural means well, from
    a culture, so intercultural communication is the
    communication between cultures. Sometimes, this is used
    to describe a single person trying to interact in a foreign
    environment but more often, it is a two-way street, where
    people from both cultures are trying to improve their
    communication.

    For example:

    contact as a sign of honesty while
    Asians view direct eye contact as a
    form of disrespect

    - Raising your hand up means stop in


    America or England. In some Asian
    countries this gesture is used when
    asking for permission to speak
