Intercultural Communication mind maps

Using intercultural communication mind maps

These maps let you follow ideas through branches rather than reading a topic as a continuous text. Hall's Conception of Culture brings together high and low context, verbal messages, social roles and other themes. Cultural perspectives groups ideas around perceptions, values, attitudes and beliefs.

Choose a route through the maps

Start with Hall's Conception of Culture if you want a framework with several branches to explore. For a different focus, Adaptation and Competence separates psychological adjustment from sociocultural adjustment. The map on cross-cultural friendships offers another way to consider relationships.

Revise with the branches

Follow a branch, then cover it and explain its main idea in your own words. Return to the map to check what you missed. When you want to test your recall or review terms separately, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page. Choose a map and follow a branch that interests you.
