Popis
Shrnutí:This chapter presents strategies for teaching students how cultural variables (beliefs, attitudes, and values) shape the communication process involved in such design practices, and it includes examples of student assignments and student responses to those assignments. It contains specific examples of the practices that professional communicators need to consider when internationalizing and localizing communication products. The chapter presents an overview of the topics covered in the International Technical Communication course. These course topics include cultural models, rhetorical patterns of different cultures, internationalization and localization issues, factors to consider in translating communication products, and graphic design challenges for international audiences. The chapter contains detailed information on assignments that require the students to convert theory into practice by creating two products (an oral presentation and a feasibility report) that are specifically related to their own workplace.
