What is Intercultural
Communication?

Week 2: Intercultural Communication

Intercultural communication
 happens when individuals interact, negotiate, and create meanings while bringing in their
varied cultural backgrounds (Ting-Toomey, 1999).
 is the study of how interactions between various cultural groups affect communication
behavior. As a result, one perspective on intercultural communication is that it takes place
in symbolic intercultural settings. (Arasaratnam, 2013:48)

The Developmental Model of

Intercultural Sensitivity

ACCESS Computer College

Week 2: Intercultural Communication
The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity
According to Bennett and Bennett (2004), it has six stages. These are the following:
Stage 1: Denial. The individual does not recognize cultural differences.
Stage 2: Defense. The individual starts to recognize cultural differences and is intimidated
by them.
Stage 3: Minimization. Individuals see cultural differences more on the universality of
ideas rather than on cultural differences
Stage 4: Acceptance. The individual begins to appreciate important cultural differences in
behaviors and eventually in values.
Stage 5: Adaptation. The individual is very open to world views when accepting new
perspectives.
Stage 6: Integration. Individuals start to go beyond their own cultures and see themselves
and their actions based on multifarious cultural viewpoints.
