The Eighth Edition of An Introduction to Intercultural Communication prepares today’s readers to successfully navigate our increasingly global community. Fred E. Jandt introduces essential communication skills and concepts that will enable readers to interact successfully with different cultures and ethnic groups. Jandt offers readers unique insights into intercultural communication, at home and abroad, through an emphasis on history, culture, and popular media. Throughout the text, Jandt reinforces the important roles that stories, personal experiences, and self-reflection play in building our intercultural understanding and competence. The eighth edition includes two new box features: Focus on Skills provides expanded coverage of intercultural communication in practice, while Focus on Technology illustrates the impact of new communication technology on intercultural encounters. The new edition also introduces a new map program to provide students with additional context for discussion of cultures and regions across the globe.
