Education about intercultural communication can greatly increase understanding between cultures, whether they be minority groups within the United States or peoples of separate nations. This document is intended as a reference guide for designing and teaching a basic intercultural communication course. In four parts, this document presents definitions of basic concepts, discusses critical variables, explicates seven pedagogical approaches (information-based, area simulation, group encounters, communication theory, programmed, interaction, and game playing) and lists textbooks, course syllabi, bibliographies, journals, films, and simulation games that can be used by teachers of intercultural communication.
