What is 'culture'? How do you tell other people about your national culture? How do you talk about the culture of the organisation where you work or study? It is becoming increasingly recognised that intercultural communication skills are a vital component in successful international communication.

Each activity is accompanied by thorough notes for the teacher, explaining the procedure and possible outcomes and providing suggestions for further reading. The book also features a useful introduction to the subject of intercultural communication and a reading list.

This book provides original and stimulating listening practice across a range of levels and topics.
