This document dealt with communication as part of the Dealing with Cultural Differences branch of the mind-map at www.culturalcompetence.eu (depicted on the left).

The literature, provided at the website discusses these topics in more details. Furthermore, you find on the websie quotes by students and some more self-study exercises.

Communication has become a discipline in its own right in the last 60 years and is discussed in thousands of publications. This e-book does not do justice to this accumulated knowledge and understanding but stresses only the relation with culture (without even discussing this relation in any detail).
