INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION: SOCIOCULTURAL RAPPROCHEMENT IN THE INTERNATIONAL CLASS

Summary/Abstract: Intercultural Communication: Sociocultural Rapprochement in the International Class. The international class is a nexus of manifest linguistic and cultural proclivities of identity making, even while it mirrors the language contact phenomena occurring worldwide as a direct consequence of the growth in the spread of English across the globe and as the lingua franca of higher education. This paper explores the consequential theoretical assumptions as to how the curricular scenarios need to be adapted culture-wise so as to avoid miscommunication and identity conflicts and ensure intercultural harmony in the ever increasing number of multi-ethnic classes of international higher education programmes.
