by Tom Grothe

Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

Intercultural communication is the study and practice of communication across cultural contexts. It applies equally to domestic cultural differences such as ethnicity and gender and to international differences such as those associated with nationality or world region. Intercultural communication focuses on the recognition and respect of cultural differences, seeks the goal of mutual adaptation, and supports the development of intercultural sensitivity.
