This activity focuses on your own specific communicative behavior patterns specifically, those aspects of your behavior that you would like to change. Reflect over the past week when communication with other cultures, other than your own, went well and did not go so well. Think of one aspect of your communicative behavior with people from other cultures that you see as problematic or in need of improvement. Talk to your friends or family members over the next few days before class.

1. What is the communicative behavior that you would like to change?
2. What are some examples of when you have communicated in this way?
3. How have other people responded to this behavior?
