The Intercultural Communication at UCI Workshop Series exists to create a space for UCI students from diverse backgrounds to work together towards the shared goal of successful communication and collaboration in the UCI academic community. Each workshop will focus on a different aspect of intercultural communication at UCI. Workshop participants can expect to gain new perspectives, engage in collaborative decision-making, and reflect on their own beliefs and assumptions about communication.

Intercultural Communication at UCI Workshop Series (ICWS) is facilitated by Academic English in UCI School of Humanities in collaboration with ISEP.
In this ICWS workshop, we will address how our conversations may be linguistically and culturally constrained. Through group brainstorming we will analyze samples of discourse in various cultures and address how conversation is practiced in multilingual settings. Students can share the cultural and linguistic features in their language and discuss how those cultural nuances affect their communication in English and with people from other languages /cultures.
