Worthwhile information for ESL Educators,

This review is from: Communicating With Strangers: An Approach to Intercultural Communication (Paperback)
I purchased this book for a class on multicultural learners. It provided pertinent information about communication between different cultures and within the same culture. Although the book is out of print, I believe that the information it contains is still valuable to educators today.

This review is from: Communicating With Strangers (Paperback)
I think I enjoyed this book more so than the class that I took on communication. It had very modern, practical examples of communication. It went beyond the question of communication among various cultural backgrounds, it also touched on how men and women communicate or don't.
