Cross cultural communication is referred to when the diverse cultural background of communicants can either be successful, or can bring about distortion of the message, or result in overall communication failure.
This course is designed for undergraduate students of KBTU to acquire a general understanding of cross cultural communication (CCC) both as a science and a tool for effective communicating across cultural borders. The current situation in the global labor market, the possibility of graduates' entering the international arena in their future professional activities, and a growing number of contacts with non/native speakers of English imply the need for effective communication with representatives of other cultures.
