Compare and contrast communication in the local and
Miscommunication in a cross-cultural
setting can be minimized if one is aware of the
different cultures in each areas wherein
misinterpretation can occur.
Potential Areas for Misinterpretation in Intercultural
Communication
AJ Schuler (2003)
• Opening and Closing conversations – Opening a
conversation involves initiating contact and setting the
tone, while closing it involves bringing the interaction
to an end in a polite and conclusive manner.
• Taking turns during conversations – it is the practice
of individuals taking alternating speaking roles.
• Interrupting – occurs when one person interjects or
speaks out of turn, disrupting the current speaker.
Potential Areas for Misinterpretation in Intercultural
Communication
AJ Schuler (2003)
• Using silence – it can be interpreted in many ways
depending on the culture someone is interacting in.
• Using appropriate topics of conversation –
appropriateness of topics can be misinterpreted in a
conversation depending on the situation or culture that one
is in.
Potential Areas for Misinterpretation in Intercultural
Communication
AJ Schuler (2003)
• Using humor – humor can be a double-edged sword, especially
in intercultural communication where potential areas of
misinterpretation are numerous.
• Knowing how much to say – in some culture, being direct and
straightforward is valued, while in others, being indirect and
polite is preferred.
• Sequencing elements during a conversation – in intercultural
communication, different cultures have different expectations
about how conversations should be sequenced.
How to Improve Intercultural
Communication Competence (Gamble &
Gamble, 2008)
• Recognize the validity and differences of
communication styles among people.
