Title: “relief”! It Is Just A Way To Lessen The Discomfiture In Intercultural Situations
Authors : Meharet Sarra .
Abstract
In order to accomplish any public or private goals, people have to talk to one another and in more and more cases; the people communicating come from different cultural backgrounds. In intercultural communication, however, expectations about how paralinguistic signals are used to indicate what is meant by what is said are not shared and despite all the good will in the world, miscommunication and misunderstanding is likely to happen particularly when there are significant cultural differences between communicators. As far as the teaching process is concerned, the main duty of teachers of English is to foster the learners’ awareness of cultural aspects of English speaking countries and other parts of the world as well to avoid cultural shock. This presentation reveals the major effects, importance, barriers and other issues related to cross cultural and intercultural communication like the development of culture learning in language teaching and a suggestive model of teaching culture in an English class through a model named “RELIEF” which aims at reducing the discomfiture that one may encounter when dealing with “the other” who is usually unknown.
Keywords
