Cross-cultural Communication Seminars
Beyond Language: The key to successful communication in Japan is much more than
words. Nonverbal language behavior is intrinsic in Japanese society to an extent far
surpassing its use in Western cultures. Life in Japan increases the need for
nonverbal communication competency to help obviate potential cross-cultural communication
difficulties. In Japan, an accomplished nonverbal communicator is held in high
esteem. This course will show you how Japanese culture shapes communication patterns
and how you can master Japanese nonverbal behaviors such as: body language
(kinesics); eye behavior and facial expressions; proxemic behavior; appearance; vocalics
(paralanguage); and silence.
