About international students：According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in their 2009 World Conference on Higher Education report, Over 2.5 million students were studying outside their home country. UNESCO also predicted that the number of foreign students might rise to approximately 7 million by the year 2020. The main destinations preferred were the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada and Australia.
-  teaching and learning activities: Chinese international students are quiet in classroom, not active in group discussion or group work, and passive in tutorials etc. Such problems not only cause misunderstandings between Chinese international students and their tutors but also have negative influence on their learning outcome.

Haya- I used to work in an co-operate company which has many oversea branches all over the world. One of our major work is to deal with different financial statements of different companies from different countries and areas.
For example, different countries has their own standard of tax rates and there are plenty of tax exemptions based on variety circumstances.

In order to make a good comprehension, we also need to know about how the tax system works in different countries, we need to ask the manager for information, enquire the tax station officer for help and that's a kind of intercultural communication example from my own.

1.What can you do to develop intercultural awareness?

Admit that you don’t know.
Acknowledging your ignorance is the first step towards learning about other cultures.

Develop an awareness of your own views, assumptions and beliefs, and how they are shaped by your culture.
Ask yourself questions like: what do I see as ‘national’ characteristics in this country? Which ‘national’ characteristic do I like and dislike in myself?

Take an interest.
Read about other countries and cultures, and start to consider the differences between your own culture and what you have read.

Don’t make judgements.
Instead, start by collecting information. Ask neutral questions and clarify meaning before assuming that you know what’s going on. See our pages on Questioning and Clarifying for more.

Once you have collected information, start to check your assumptions.
Ask colleagues or friends who know more about the culture than you, and systematically review your assumptions to make sure that they are correct.

Develop empathy.
Think about how it feels to be in the other person’s position. See our page on Empathy for more.

Look for what you can gain, not what you could lose.
If you can take the best from both your own and someone else’s views and experiences, you could get a far greater whole that will benefit both of you. But this requires you to take the approach that you don’t necessarily know best, and even that you don’t necessarily know at all.

2.What are the main problems in intercultural communication?

:language as a barrier,
cultural diversity
and ethnocentrism.
