Intercultural Communication: A Contextual Approach (7th Edition)
In the fully updated Seventh Edition of Intercultural Communication: A Contextual Approach, bestselling author James W. Neuliep provides a clear contextual model for examining communication within cultural, microcultural, environmental, sociorelational, and perceptual contexts. Visually depicted by a series of concentric circles, the model guides readers from the broadest cultural components through to the most specific dimensions of communication. Each chapter focuses on a unique context and explores the combination of factors within that setting, including situation and circumstances.
Highlighting values, ethnicity, physical geography, and attitudes, the book examines diverse means of interaction, such as body language, eye contact, and the exchange of words. This comprehensive text also explores the stages of relationships, cross-cultural management, intercultural conflict, and the phenomenon of culture shock. It offers the knowledge, voices, and activities necessary to help students engage and embody learning experiences in intercultural communication both in and out of the classroom.
