Communicating Across Cultures is an innovative short course for learners
of business English who want to function effectively in an international
environment by developing their intercultural skills in English. The DVD
contains six dramatised sequences which can be used either stand-alone
or as a linked narrative, and which explore the cultural issues and
cultural competencies discussed in Communicating Across Cultures
Student's Book. The episodes include first meetings, working in an
international team, decision-making, negotiating and influencing, giving
feedback, managing conflict and cross-cultural communication. The author
acts as narrator, and throughout the DVD viewers are invited to discuss
and analyse behaviour and techniques at key points within each sequence.
The DVD is supported by free online photocopiable worksheets which
further exploit the DVD's content.
