Topic: Intercultural communication

2000-word essay. You clearly identify an issue (refer to lecture notes) you are interested in in the areas of
language, culture and communication and examine it using intercultural communication theories covered in the
lectures. Your literature review should focus on the issue you have identified. You are encouraged to collect
empirical data, e.g. a short chunk of conversational (e.g. requests and apologies) or written (e.g. words and
expressions for politeness or purposes vs. those for humorous or assertive purposes) texts or a short video (e.g.
advertising with culture-loaded contents, including verbal and nonverbal messages). You may need to provide
transcripts or brief descriptions. You are expected to critically analyse the issue from the point of view of
intercultural communication.

I will attach a word file including the interviews.

please let me know if you need any other details.
thank you

this is more details about the study taken form the methodology chapter A mixed methods approach will be used for the purposes of this research. In the case of this study, the sequential mixed design where the qualitative approach follows the quantitative will be applied. The data will be collected using questionnaires and follow up interviews. The questionnaires will provide quantitative data and the interviews will provide qualitative data and allow a more in-depth exploration of the topic (Macnaghten and Myers 2004). The questionnaire includes 30 multiple choice questions. The research subjects will be Saudi students at university language centres in Ireland (UL, UCC, UCD, TCD). Contact will be made through the presidents of the Saudi students unions in Ireland to gather data from students. The questionnaire will be made available online and students will be sent a link via email. Participants will be given the option to volunteer for an interview by clicking an option and entering their contact details (this will be a separate link and will not be linked to the data they have given). Each volunteer will be met individually. The optimum rate of participation for the questionnaire is 60 and the goal for the interviews is 8-10.

the pilot included two students for the survey and one of them volunteered for the interview I will attach her answers in a minute. and by the way, the research questions for the study are the following: i. What are the major factors that motivate students from Saudi Arabia, who are currently studying in English schools in Ireland? ii. What are the major factors for anxiety among the students from Saudi Arabia, who are currently studying in English schools in Ireland? iii. Does studying in mixed-gender classrooms impact both male and female students from Saudi Arabia, who are currently studying in English schools in Ireland?
