Step 1: In a 200-300 word post, reflect on why intercultural communication skills are important to you, personally? Explain. Next, reflect on the transactional model of communication described in the lecture. Which part do you find most challenging when you are interacting with someone of a different culture? Why? Explain.
Please note: You must first post your own original initial response (at least 200 words in length) before viewing the initial responses of your classmates.
Do not post a blank response first and then view the responses of your classmates as doing so will compromise the originality of your own response and result in points being deducted from your score on the assignment or a grade of “0” (zero).
Step 2 : Read at least 5 of your colleagues’ initial responses. Choose 2 to comment to. Each comment should be at least 100 words in length and add to the conversation (reflect on their experience, add your own examples, ask questions, respectfully debate what is said, etc.)
