Description of the Presentation:
Using the "dialogue process" proposed as communication training by Ellinor & Gerard (1998), one can improve upon undeveloped skills in order to attain a high level of dialogue competence. In intercultural communication, people with restricted dialogue competence tend to categorize, discriminate and exclude members of different cultural and ethnic groups in interaction. Dialogue process as intercultural communication training aims at promoting dialogue competence for intercultural communication through which interlocutors may know better how to deal with their own stereotypes of other cultures and attain a de-stereotyped manner of communication.
In the lecture I will present some training models with dialogue process in Business and Development communication.
