Learning from multiple perspectives: global implications for speech-language and hearing professionals.
The concept of cross-cultural communicative competence provides the framework for the discussion of global communication. A global communicator must be willing to continue to learn and embrace cultural and individual diversity. This paper presents new global realities as they exist in today's global 'village'. The three C's: concepts, competence, and connections are necessary in global communication and transactions. Local implications are discussed followed by identification of the necessary competences for global communicators.
