A Conceptual Review of Positive Teacher Interpersonal Communication Behaviors in the Instructional Context” that positive teacher interpersonal communication behaviours represent essential components enabling favourable academic results from students

Our work this semester has given you the basic premises of the field of Intercultural Communication. We have looked at communication across cultures from a theoretical framework, as spelled out in our textbook, as well as a very practical framework, as seen through the various articles and videos encountered. This input has hopefully sparked some curiosity on your part, which you will develop in a short research paper. You may choose to investigate any aspect of intercultural communications, but in doing so, speak to the question: Is there a need for intercultural communication on a college campus, such as Rosemont’s? Try to think in terms of identity, ethnicity, race, gender, and social class. Are there issues on a campus like ours (you do not need to think only about Rosemont in this paper and can speak to larger issues if you prefer). that Intercultural Communication might address? Are there issues that need addressing? Remember our goals this semester were: Identify and differentiate key concepts and experiences of identity formation – including race/ethnicity, sex and gender, and religion Ask critical and caring questions that foster knowledge of concepts and experiences of identify formation Articulate factors, including biases, that influence identity formation among different groups of people in different times and places Make sound arguments based on research, not opinions, from differing identity perspectives in a way that addresses contemporary social problems and issues of multiculturalism, gender, race, ethnicity, and social inequality in a clear and articulate manner. In order to complete this research paper, you will need to do some outside research into your area of interest. You will need to include 3-5 outside sources that will help you answer the question posed above. One of these sources should be the basis of your rhetorical analysis. Please feel free to reference and cite the works we have collectively read and viewed, as this will round out your research and perspective.
