INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Language and heritage together represent a cultural identity, in other words, they together are the bearers of a culture and a history of a culture and constitutes a social life. Language is a tool to express oneself and understand others. It itself is a heritage recording the knowledge about nature and society. The heritages include and transmit the knowledge of a culture in different historical periods. They structure a kind of language for identity and function as concepts or terms in the communication. They together are the key to well know oneself and others.
The world has become increasingly closer. The meeting of cultural diversity occur in all levels, all areas, all disciplines, both locally and internationally. This is the challenge of intercultural communication through our language and a language of heritage. If the communication relates to an exchange between partners, it is, in fact, the exchange of language knowledge and concepts of heritage as the common code. It is the specialty of this Guide.
This series is created and directed by Dr. Ju-An. As a language teacher and researcher in the history of art and civilization, she has mastered the method of intercultural communication with both the language and the language of heritage.
