Communicating Across Cultures is an innovative short course for learners of business English who want to function effectively in an international environment by developing their intercultural skills in English.

Drawing on inspirational advice from leading figures in the world of cross-cultural communication, Communicating Across Cultures covers all types of oral and written communication, from meetings to negotiations, telephone calls to emails, and deals with situations ranging from working in international teams to managing conflict. Students are invited to analyse their own intercultural competence and helped to develop a personal action plan for further use beyond the classroom. Students will gain the essential skills and techniques they will need to ensure they can work effectively with colleagues and business partners the world over. Communicating Across Cultures is part of the new Cambridge Business Skills series – a set of short courses from leading business English authors, combining communication skills training with professional language development.
