This practical guide is a must read for students interested in
developing the attitudes, knowledge, skills, and values that foster
positive relationships with people from diverse cultures both
within and outside of the workplace. It contains real-life examples
from students drawn from the authors' work across different
countries. In an age of growing diversity and increasing global
mobility, living and working with people from different cultural
backgrounds is becoming the norm. To address this complex topic,
the authors invite students to consider key questions such as: How
do our cultural backgrounds influence our behavior towards others?
What is intercultural competence and how can it help students to
get along in work and life? How can institutions help students to
develop intercultural competence? What does it have to do with
topics like prejudice, discrimination, and racism? How can
intercultural competence facilitate social change and help students
to succeed in their careers? Written for students in any country
and studying in any discipline, this book includes practical
activities designed to help students to develop intercultural
competence throughout their time at college or university. It is
useful for students as an autonomous learning source, or as a
resource for taught courses. Drawing on a comprehensive and
rigorous knowledge of the field, the authors have written a
thought-provoking analysis and a practical guide to understanding
and enacting Intercultural Competence. I learnt from and admire
their ambitious vision of the significance of intercultural
competence for society and for the lives and careers of their
readers.- Michael Byram, author of Teaching and Assessing
Intercultural Communicative Competence, Durham University, UK This
is a wonderfully readable book, which carefully and clearly
explains the concept of intercultural competence, exploring its
implications for addressing many of the most crucial issues facing
the world today. Based on impeccable scholarship, and containing a
wealth of practical activities, this book is highly recommended for
students and interested laypeople alike.- Martyn Barrett,
University of Surrey, UK An exceptionally user-friendly and
theory-informed guidebook that would not only benefit university
students but anyone with an interest in intercultural
communication. The book is second to none in terms of clarity of
presentation and coverage of concepts, models and practical ideas
relevant to intercultural competence for the contemporary society.
-Anwei Feng, University of Nottingham Ningbo, China An essential
handbook and excellent addition to conventional textbooks. Nuanced
and down-to-earth explanations about intercultural communication
which are accessible to everyone. Insightful explanations for
educators and students alike. Easy to use self-study guide with
thought-provoking exercises. This book has been long needed and has
come at just the right time. --Ivett Guntersdorfer, Founder and

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen, Germany
