1) Description: Imagine you are hired by a company to give cultural preparation training to individuals being reassigned to an international office from the United States (or if you’re from a different cultural background than the U.S., from your cultural background to another culture) for a period of 2 years. You can use any culture you like, if you need a little bit of help deciding you may want to look up a company based in the US and see where it has international offices. You should create a profile detailing how the target culture thinks of themselves in terms of their place in society, how the culture generally interacts with people from other cultures, how relationships (such as friendships) generally function, as well as give tips on what common miscommunications or conflict could take place. Help your audience avoid (at least some of) the pitfalls of culture shock!
2. Requirements:
a. You must have a PowerPoint style visual for this. You may use other media if you like as well but be sure to create a cohesive and clear presentation. You may want to use the guidelines from informational speeches to help you along.
b. This must be at minimum 6 minutes long and at most 12 minutes long . This means you should choose what you think the most important parts of the target culture’s communicative preferences are and present those.
c. You must use at least three (3) peer-reviewed research papers that talk about the communicative preferences of your target culture and cite them accordingly. All library resources are available online; if you need a book chapter you can request that chapter from the Interlibrary Loan page. This requires research so start ASAP. If you have problems I can help you navigate them if alerted soon enough. You still have access to the PAWS service via the library (they’re scheduling Zoom meetings I believe) or you can always email our subject librarian for help.
d. Have fun with this! Be as creative as you like while also being informative and presentation appropriate.
