The developmental model that I will be using is Bennett’s developmental model of intercultural sensitivity (DMIS). Bennett’s model “…provides a framework for understanding individual development and awareness along a continuum from high ethnocentric to highly ethnorelative, and this framework can help us better understand some of the dynamics that might occur” (Bennett, 135).

leaders: Exploring intercultural competence in leadership education Irving, Justin A. Bethel University Abstract The globalization of the world has brought about massive shifts over the past two decades. With the increase of international travel, the quantum leaps in global communication brought about by the World Wide Web and the increasingly interdependent global economy, the way leaders and organizations approach business has dramatically changed. While intercultural competence was once
As the world population soars above seven billion people, it comes in tact with a multitude of differences. As we grow up, we individually develop and adapt to the culture we were taught. Which means undeniably we are all ethnocentric. Derived from the Greek word “ethnos” which means people or group, and centrism which relates to central, the term ethnocentrism can be summarized as “using your own set of standards and customs to judge all people, often unconsciously” (Deane, 1991, p. 1).

Intercultural communication is defined as the study of cultural differences, which occur within cultural interactions. Certain theories, concepts and models can be studied and applied to these interactions in order to manage these differences (Ting-Toomey, 2012). Using a chosen individual, this essay will explore the cultural exchanges, which the individual has experienced and use appropriate intercultural theoretical concepts in order to show intercultural communication understanding.

This is basically an exemplary of a few stages in which the information source called sender, sends the information to its destination, the receiver. Information obviously does not get to the receiver magically; this is why this model was invented. It is a way to illustrate how a person shares beliefs and ideas, and how they reach their destination.
Reflection 1 At this semester, I have chosen the paper, which is called "intercultural competence". Before I study this paper, I do not quite understand what is exactly the meaning of this paper. After few weeks learning, I felt that I was really like and enjoy learning this paper. It more deeply explored the different culture, which I never understood. What is intercultural competence? According to Teaching English (n.d.) that intercultural communicative competence, or ICC, refers to the ability to understand
One of the values that was consistently represented in the literature was the importance of reflective practice (Kahn et al., 2014; Scott & Mumford, 2007; Taylor, 2010). The analysis of the PBADS which was discussed in the previous section determined that it was not the frequency of reflection that resulted in positive attitudes about diversity, but rather the value that the preservice teacher candidate placed on their own reflective practice. The level of importance placed on reflective practice

For instance, each year, almost 13000 students travel on American Field Service Intercultural Programs between 65 countries (AFS, 2011). Unfortunately, the number of students who go on exchange is still relatively low, even if the benefits they receive are big. Because the age of 15-18 is the perfect period of time for going on an exchange
