This course is designed to offer students a survey of contemporary issues related to processes of intercultural communication. We will consider the important role of context (social, cultural, and historical) in intercultural interactions. We will examine the complex relationship between culture and communication from several conceptual perspectives, focusing primarily on three: social psychological, interpretive, and critical. From applying these approaches to the study of intercultural communication, we will also come to appreciate the complexity and tensions involved in intercultural interactions. This learning process should enhance self-reflection, flexibility, and sensitivity in intercultural communication.  \nCommunication is a fact in the world of human beings, animals and plants, and is an ever- continuing process going on all the time. It is a process of mutual participation in a common structure of rhythmic patterns by all members of a culture.  \nThe student gains an insight on listening behavior that forms an indispensable part of the communication process. Through class discussions, he/she will identify with what are the kind of barriers and misconceptions that impair listening. Interactive and participative dialogue will serve as an eye opener for the student to be able to appreciate the significance of leadership and comprehend the key concept of group communication.  \nSalient Features  \nYou would be going through various topics, which would give you an insight of the basic concepts of communication principles.  \nConcept of Intercultural Communication  \nThe world is on the brink of an age of borderlessness. Already we have seen this trend in such developments as the disappearance of borders in information exchange, such as on the Internet and in the economic activities of the European Community. The ease with which we travel and exchange information across borders these days was simply unthinkable just a few decades ago. Furthermore, a telecommunication society would serve to accelerate the arrival of the age of intercultural communication.
