Overview
Please read Chapter 6 of Judith Martin and Thomas Nakayama’s Intercultural Communication in Context and answer the following questions:
1. “Foreigner” labels
Generate a list of labels used to refer to people from other countries who come to the United States - for example, “immigrants” and “aliens.” For each label, identify its general connotation (positive, negative, or mixed). Reflect on how the connotations of these words may influence your perceptions of people from other countries. Would it make a difference if we referred to them as “guests” or “visitors”?
2. English as a global language
How can the dominance of English as an international language be understood through our five touchstones - culture, communication, power, context, and history?
