自我文化评估

第一个作业要求你验明自己的文化认同 - 描述你如何定义自己的文化自我 ?并更进一步的显示它如何影响你沟通的方式。下面的问题是来帮助你建构那个定义。你不需要回答每个问题，或许有些列在你报告的观点也并不在这些问题范围之内，但应该把它们当作一个起点。
我的种族、族群、国籍的起源是什么？
我的性别和阶级如何定义我？
有没有哪些我从小就记得的特别的神话或故事可以帮助定义我？
有没有哪些我从小就记得的特别的习俗可以帮助定义我？
我个人的文化背景如何影响我与美国文化的关系？
我个人的文化背景如何影响我现在参与的习俗或是我说的故事？
我个人的文化背景如何影响我沟通的方式，包括非正式的与朋友和家人的沟通，及在较正式的场合，例如：在实习的场所、教室、或是社团？你可以发表意见的沟通方式包括：
你经常谈论的话题
使用非口语的沟通
使用打岔
使用沉默
爱好或不喜欢争议
你所依赖的沟通管道
报告必须反映你读到的和我们到目前为止曾在课堂讨论的一些主要的概念。它应该是在二到三页打字的报告。

作业于第四堂课交

读书报告

这个作业，你可以选一本不是小说而对本课主题有更进一步研究的作品，或选一本文学作品于其中作者观察他/她或旁人如何认识别的文化及人们。（我们将提供一张推荐阅读书单，包括的是我们喜欢和各位的学长推荐的书，不过你可以选择不在这张推荐阅读书单里的书。虽然如此，我们还是希望你在用书单外的书做作业之前，能先得到一位老师的首肯。）

工作

请写一篇三到四页的书面报告，把你选读的书连接上在此课程中你所学习的概念及实际应用。这个书面报告应该：
建立一个主题或者一个你已学习的概念
把你自己生活在另一个文化的经验连接上作者或书中人物的经验
对在课堂上讨论过的其中一个文化或国家进行扩张讨论
提出反驳的证据或是提供从另一个观点来看我们已经讨论过的东西
把一个概念或叙述连接上另一个有关跨文化沟通的作品（书、电影、一段音乐）
这个作业的目的在于超出课堂上所讨论的教材，更深入的思考跨文化沟通的某些领域，并且跟大家分享经验

结构

请在书面报告一开头列出所选择阅读书籍的完整资讯(作者、书名、版本（若有）、发行人、发行日期) 。
列出你所有直接引用文句的页数。
如果你有其它引用的作品(书、文章、电影)，除了列出作品的一个完整的书目外你还需在附注和注脚中提及引用作品。
文法、标点、和拼字。
作业于第十四堂课交

小组书面报告及口头报告

这个最后的指定作业将给你一个机会把这学期的所学作个综合，同时增长你对如何在专业的环境里做跨文化沟通的知识。专业环境的例子如下：
商业
保健
艺术
教育
科学与工程
政治或外交
每三到四人分成一组(跨文化的组成为最理想)，你们将探讨跨文化沟通对这些专业的影响。

产品

小组可以选择你们有兴趣的任何一个题目或问题。小组可以考虑这个计划是：
个案，研讨的是一家公司被另一家不同国家的公司收购
由与病人来自不同文化背景的人提供精神保健服务所面临的挑战
历史的研究，它描述接受和使用某个来自不同文化的技术差异性
研讨有关教室或工作场合文化多样性的问题
文化沟通形式的不同对政治谈判有什么样的冲击
一个国家的沟通典型如何影响这个国家媒体的报导内容
以上是很广泛的建议；小组的第一个工作是将其缩小为一个可适当发展成10页报告和15到20分钟小组口头报告的题目。

过程

写报告和准备口头报告将会在学期当中牵涉许多步骤。在第九堂课将先简短讨论包括组内工作分配、小组书面报告的写作和小组口头报告。这一天，我们也将要求你举出你有兴趣的题目。根据你的兴趣，我们会帮忙分组，而后我们会在第十堂课的时候宣布各小组的组成。在这堂课中我们会给一点时间，让小组成员有机会接触，互相认识及开始决定小组的题目。
过程中的其他部分如下(交作业的日期在括号内)：

提案 I (第十一堂课2天之后)
你要写一页非正式的报告准确的描述书面报告/口头报告的题目同时列出你们初步决定采用的参考资料。

提案 II (第十五堂课)
根据我们给你的回应重交一次你们原来的提案。加上你在这段时间中找到的研究原始资料。

报告草案 (第十九堂课2天之后)
你交的报告草案应该尽可能的完整。我们对于愈完整的报告草案可以给的反应就愈好。我们有权利退回任何我们觉得因不够完整而不值得我们在上面花时间阅读的报告草案。

口头报告的大纲 (第二十堂课)
我们希望你可以给我们一个简短的口头报告的大纲。同样的，大纲越完整我们可以给你做出成功的口头报告的指点就会越多。这个大纲应该包括每个小组成员在做口头报告中所担任的角色。

口头报告(第二十二到二十五堂课)
作一个15到20分钟，根据研究报告进行的口头报告。(每个小组成员都要讲话，所以小组的人数会决定时间的长短)。你的口头报告应该描述你最创新的、值得注意的、或独特的发现，并利用证据让我们更进一步了解这一点。请利用合适的视觉辅助教材。在口头报告之后请安排足够的时间来做讨论和接受提问。

期末报告 (第二十六堂课)
期末报告应该包括附注和书目。

评分

整个报告值30分，而其中每一步骤所占的比重是：


工作分数交作业日期


提案 I       第十一堂课2天之后


提案 II 5 第十五堂课


报告草案 10 第十九堂课2天之后


期末报告 15 第二十六堂课


另外，口头报告占25分。

Cultural Self-Assessment

This first assignment asks you to examine your own cultural identity--to describe how you define yourself as a cultural being--and to show how that affects your communication style. The following questions are to help you construct that definition. You don't need to answer every question, and there may be points you include in your paper that aren't addressed by the questions, but use the questions as a jumping off point.
What are my racial, ethnic, national origins?
How do my gender and class define me?
Are there particular myths or stories I remember from childhood that have helped to define me?
Are there particular rituals I remember from childhood that have helped to define me?
How does my personal cultural profile affect my relationship to American culture?
How does my personal cultural profile affect the rituals I participate in now or the stories I tell?
How does my personal cultural profile affect how I communicate both informally with friends and family, and in more formal settings as, for example, an internship, the classroom, or a club? Some aspects of communication style you could comment on are:
topics you frequently find yourself talking about
use of nonverbal communication
use of interruption
use of silence
affinity for or dislike of argumentation
channels of communication you rely on
The paper should also reflect some of the key ideas you have read about and we have discussed so far in class. It should be between two and three typed pages.

Due in Class #4

Book Essay

For this assignment, you may choose a nonfiction work that examines the themes of the course in more detail, or a work of literature in which the author looks at how he/she or others come to know another culture and its peoples. (We will give you a list of books we like and former students have recommended, but you can choose a book not on the list. We would like you to clear the book with one of us, however, before using it for the assignment.)

Task

Please write a three-to-four-page essay connecting the book to the ideas and practices you have learned in the course. The essay could:
develop a theme or an idea you have learned
connect your own experiences living in another culture to the experiences of the author or a character in the book
expand upon the discussion of a particular culture or country we have had in class
offer evidence that contradicts or provides another perspective to something we have discussed
link an idea or a description to another work (book, film, piece of music) that pertains to intercultural communication
The goal of this assignment is to go beyond the material presented in class to think more deeply about some aspect of intercultural communication, and to share that knowledge with us.

Mechanics

Please give us a full bibliographic citation (author, title, edition number [if applicable], publisher, date of publication) for the book you have read at the beginning of your paper.
List page numbers of any direct quotes you include.
If you quote material from another work (book, article, film), provide bibliographic information for that work as well as in a footnote or endnote.
Grammar, punctuation, and spelling count.
Due in Class #14

Team Paper and Presentation

This final assignment will give you the opportunity to synthesize what you have learned this semester, as well as add to your knowledge of how intercultural communication operates in a specific professional setting. Examples of professional settings include:
business
health care
the arts
education
science and engineering
politics or diplomacy
Working together in (ideally, intercultural) teams of three or four, you will explore how intercultural communication impacts some facet of one of these professions.

The Products

You may choose any topic or question that intrigues the team. Your team could consider such projects as:
a case study of the acquisition of one company by a company from a different country
the challenges of providing mental health services when the service providers are from a different culture than their clients
an historical study that describes differences in the acceptance and use of a particular technology in different cultures
an examination of issues involving diversity in the classroom or the workplace
how political negotiations are impacted by differences in cultural communication styles
how the content of a country's media is influenced by that country's communication norms
The suggestions above are very broad; the team's first job will be to narrow down a topic that can be reasonably developed into a 10-page paper and a 15-to-20-minute presentation.

The Process

Writing the paper and creating the presentation will be a multi-step process that will take place throughout the semester. It will begin with a short discussion of teamwork, group report writing and group presentations in class #9. On that day, we will also ask you to identify the topics you are interested in. Based on that exercise, we will help you put together your teams, which we will announce in class #10. We will give you some time during that class to meet with each other to get to know one another and begin to settle on a specific topic.
The remaining parts of the process include the following (due dates are in parentheses):

Proposal I (2 days after Class #11)
You will write a one-page memo in which you describe concisely the topic of the paper/presentation and an initial list of resources you will use.

Proposal II (Class #15)
Resubmit your original proposal based on feedback you were given. Add research sources that you have found in the interim.

Report Draft (2 days after Class #19)
The draft of the report that you submit should be as close to completion as possible. The more polished this draft is, the better feedback we can give you. We reserve the right to return any draft we don't feel is far enough along to warrant our reading it.

Outline of Presentation (Class #20)
We would like a brief outline of the presentation you will be giving. Again, the more complete you can make the outline, the more guidance we can give you on creating a successful presentation. This outline should include what role each team member will take during the presentation.

Presentations (Class #22-25)
Give a 15-to-20-minute presentation (every team member must speak, so the length of time will depend on the number of people on the team) based upon your research report. Your presentation should describe your most innovative, interesting, or unique finding and use evidence to further our understanding of that point. Use appropriate visual aids. Allow time for questions and discussion at the end of the presentation.

Final Report (Class#26)
The final report should include footnotes and a bibliography.

Grading

The entire report is worth 30 points with each step worth the following:


TASK POINTS DUE


Proposal I and       2 days after Class #11


Proposal II 5 Class #15


First Draft 10 2 days after Class #19


Final Report 15 Class #26


In addition, the Oral Presentation is worth 25 points.
