This book aims to discuss new theories, models, concepts, and questions that give meaning to intercultural communication in everyday intercultural encounters.

Intercultural communication as a concept is useful for understanding and effectively managing cultural diversity in the age of globalization. Interactions and communication with people from different cultures are (re)defined in space and time and are intensified through communication technologies, transportation systems, the global economy, and international migration/mobility.

In this multifaceted communication and globalized sociability framework, our culture defines our behavior. New challenges arise that require intercultural communication skills to operate effectively in an interconnected context, as the way we act may not be the only or the most correct one.

The book presents questions for discussion, cultural examples, case studies, and literature that promote active and self-directed learning, reflection, understanding of multiple perspectives, intercultural dialogue, and critical thinking. These skills are essential for the modern educator to prepare global citizens for an inclusive society.
