Description
Introducing Language and Intercultural Communication is a lively and accessible introduction for undergraduates who are new to the study of intercultural communication, with a particular emphasis on the language dimension.
Incorporating real-life examples from around the world and drawing on current research, this text argues against cultural stereotyping and instead provides students with a skill-building framework to enhance understanding of the complexities of language and intercultural communication in diverse international settings. Readers will learn to become more attuned to power relations and the ways in which sociopolitical forces can influence language choice/attitudes and the intercultural communication process.
Features new to this edition include:
Revised in-text discussion questions and the introduction of multiple exercises and examples that aim to engage students and provide a more interactive experience;
New material that takes account of key social, cultural, and political events such as the refugee crisis, Brexit and the rise of populism in many parts of the world
Updated theoretical constructs that reflect recent trends in this area of study such as criticality in intercultural communication
An updated Companion Website featuring suggested readings, links to media resources and real-world intercultural scenarios for students, as well as additional in-depth instructor resources featuring test materials, PowerPoints, key terms, extended chapter outlines, and sample assignments and syllabi
Refreshed references and glossary to enhance understanding of key terms and concepts.

Reviews / Votes
"This is an excellent introduction to the field of intercultural communication, as equally useful for anybody working internationally as to the university classroom. New material for this edition can be a bridge to contemporary history and current events."Allan Goodwin, Nagoya University of Foreign Studies, Japan
"The new edition of Jackson's textbook addresses topics of urgent interest to the intercultural communicator. While the book was already a comprehensive guide to moving across and between cultures, the additional material responds to the rise of nationalist populism, hate speech on social media, and the demonisation of the 'Other.' Educators will find this a timely and wide-ranging resource that tackles difficult issues in challenging times."
John Corbett, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil
"Jackson's text is a comprehensive, fresh look at today's exceedingly complex intersection of intercultural communication, global competence, identity, and language. Relevant to students and intercultural communication practitioners, Jackson offers both breadth and depth when it comes to major concepts, frameworks, and highly applicable real-world examples."
Whitney Sherman, Council On International Educational Exchange (CIEE)
