The Impact of Culture on Communication

In this course, you'll examine what culture means and what it doesn't, and look at some of the barriers relating to culture. You'll also consider different cultural theories including Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Model and Edward T. Hall's Model of Culture. You'll go on to learn more about direct and indirect communicators, and different communication styles.

The Art of Global Communication

In this course, you'll find out more about the cross-cultural communication process, and consider body language, gestures, and active listening. You will also examine different methods of communication--finding out how best to write, present to, and communicate orally with your global audience.

Improving Your Cross-cultural Communication

In this course, you'll find out how to build rapport, appeal to receivers' motivations, and consider the importance of rank and respect in global communication. Cross-cultural communication is often boosted by global e-communication including electronic mail, videoconferencing, and Internet conferencing. You'll look at the options available and examine the downside of information technology, too. Finally, you'll learn that cross-cultural communication can be improved immensely by remembering etiquette and using a global negotiating protocol to guide you.
