ARTICLE REVIEW: MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION THROUGH ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Abstract

It is ubiquitous that the language and culture are interdependent. Through the latest technologies, the globalization and affairs of nation, cross-cultural communication has become more substantive. The cul-tural quotient (CQ) is getting progressively important, particularly in the linguistic context of the changing dynamics of work culture around the globe. In this paper, The importance of intercultural communica-tion is highlighted by Yano (2006). He also discussed several explicitly stated methods and techniques in the learning of intercultural commu-nication in the classroom. He discussed how one might improve their capacity to connect with non-native speakers and their knowledge of cultural differences by shifting from an ethnocentric to an ethno-rela-tive perspective.
