Members of cross-cultural teams have a broader perspective than monocultural teams. However, the different native languages of cross-cultural members, as well as differences in approach to things, can create a series of problems. Our motivation is to describe a cross-cultural work scenario that is very close to our study and work and to analyse the problems encountered and the reasons for them. This can help us in the future cross-cultural work environment. "Text" tells the story of Emily, who is from Chicago and goes to work in Paris, France. When she started her new job in a foreign country, she encountered pressure from her boss, rejection from her colleagues and misfits at work. We describe the problems in cross-cultural communication by analysing four aspects of the text: cultural differences, CoP scenario understanding, rapport management, and position. And further, explain their causes.]]> 2022-09-14 04:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2295622442 Framework 🐣 eunwooyb https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2321926518 2022-10-01 10:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2321926518 Text- Emily in Paris- clip eunwooyb https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2321933117 We choose a clip of television series Emily in Paris as our text. It tells a story about Emily Cooper, an American who moves to France to provide an American point of view to Savoir, a French marketing firm. There, she struggles to succeed in the workplace while experiencing a culture clash with her conventional Midwestern U.S. upbringing.]]> 2022-10-01 11:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2321933117 ✨ Concept 1. Culture diversity eunwooyb https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2321940772 Culture diversity emerges when there is a difference in age, race, religion, sexual orientation and ethnicity exist within a community (Martin, 2014). ]]> 2022-10-01 11:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2321940772 ✨ Concept 2. Community of Practice（CoP） eunwooyb https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2321942468 A community of practice refers to social learning where newcomers learn informally through interacting in everyday activities that contribute to aims of community.

The members in the CoP can have different levels of participation: peripheral/full. Members who are ‘peripheral’ may choose to adopt some of the community’s practices, while others resist or challenge rather than reproduce community norms(Jackson, 2016).

Emily and her French colleagues have different expectations regarding their communication styles and practices in the workplace.These expectations of nonconformity at work cause conflicts and disrupt the harmony of their communication.]]> 2022-10-01 13:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2321987479 ✨ Concept 3. Rapport management https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2321990379 Rapport management: The way we communicate can promote, maintain or threaten harmonious social relations (Spencer-Oatey, 2008).

(1)Sociality rights and obligations
  • People generate behavioural expectations based on their perceived social rights and obligations; if these expectations are not met, interpersonal relationships suffer(Spencer-Oatey, 2008).

(2)Interactional goals: relational & transactional goals
  • People usually have specific objectives when interacting with others. These 'desires' can have a significant impact on a person's perception of rapport, as failure to fulfil them can result in frustration and annoyance(Spencer-Oatey, 2008).
  • Orders and requests can easily jeopardise rapport because they can interfere with a person's autonomy, freedom of choice, and consequently their sense of fairness(Spencer-Oatey, 2008)

These objectives motivate Emily to develop positive relationships with her coworkers, so she adopts a positive communication strategy. However, her French colleagues believe that the changes Emily desires to implement would jeopardise their position and upset the balance. They believe that 'American culture' would alter the way the French company operated and thought, so their attitude towards Emily is not as friendly as expected and was even hostile. ]]> 2022-10-01 13:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2322002261 ✨ Concept 4. Positioning xiaonany1 https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2322007024 Positioning consists of a process by which relevant traits like competence or trustworthiness are ascribed, and on which members' rights and obligations are then allocated (Harre, 2012)
Positioning both self and others needs powers which are derived from specific locations in social orders and networks. In a work team, social orders might be influenced by expertise or the ability to present oneself as an expert, social and cultural capital (Debray & Spencer-Oatey, 2019).

Emily believes that she is an expert, but the bosses consider that they have more social and cultural capital then she does. Therefore, they both believe they have a high social order/power in the company's network, so they disagree and contradict each other in the process of negotiating their position. The bosses, as the gatekeepers in this organisation, are trying to keep Emily out because they position Emily as an outsider who doesn’t belong to their community. ]]> 2022-10-01 13:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2322007760 References eunwooyb https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2322029628 2022-10-01 14:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2322029628 Questions 🤔 eunwooyb https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2322029922 ❓ Rapport management is important in workplace. SO how can both managers/employees manage it?
❓ As a newcomer to a company, when you believe you have the ability in a relevant area and want to make a difference, but your supervisor does not recognize your ability and tries to marginalize you, what actions do you take to negotiate your position in the company?

The workplace in the text is diverse in geographic background, language background and culture. It is evident that cultural diversity and language differences may lead to some problems(Hyun, 2021). For example, the french colleagues are not used to Emily’s energetic working attitude and status, they prefer a low-key and low-pace working attitude.]]> 2022-10-02 07:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2322433533 Analysis: kjjing https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2322443037 2022-10-02 07:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2322443037 Any comments? xiaonany1 https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2327048051 We are looking forwards to talk to you!!]]> 2022-10-05 06:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2327048051 Some critical thinking- is the text based on stereotypes? eunwooyb https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2329246619 2022-10-06 12:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/eunwooyb/Ling90026poster/wish/2329246619
