Part BEssay on Nonverbal Communication and Intercultural CommunicationThe important thing to remember about culture is that although it is fundamental, it is not not innate. Yet this is often not discussed, analyzed or criticized, but is considered “common sense”. Culture is the values ​​and assumptions shared by a particular group of people. Because these values ​​and assumptions are shared, it is easy to take them for granted and believe that they are “normal.” In this way, it is possible for people to believe that the way they behave and the things they value are right and true for everyone. Inter-, as you probably know, comes from the Latin word for “between” and the dictionary defines “communication” as “the exchange of information.” So let us draw the following conclusion: Intercultural communication refers to the exchange of information between people of different cultures. It seems very simple, doesn't it? It's in the "cultures" part of this simple definition that things start to get a little complicated. Today, the world we live in is “a global village” where no nation, group or culture can remain anonymous (Samovar and Porter, 1991). What happens in one part of the world affects all parts of the world. As the world becomes smaller, we interact more and more with people from many different cultures. Although modern technology makes it easier for us to communicate with people all over the world, such interactions can be difficult if we don't know how to deal with people and cultures different from our own. Here are some examples of obvious mistakes that politicians and businesses have made when it comes to dealing with other linguistic cultures: • In Germany, a Berliner is a jelly donut. In his middle of paper ......s met by students of Chinese origin in intercultural communications. This study also suggests including knowledge of non-verbal communication in EFL teaching to enable English learners to become fully proficient in the target language, as non-verbal communication is used in everyday communication and constitutes one of the prerequisites for the acquisition of intercultural communicative skills. :Allen, L.Q.
