The interviewee may be interested in learning about you and your culture and view the interview as a chance to learn something new, too (in a sense is his or her reward for granting the interview). You may find that you have to do a little self-disclosure yourself to get him or her to self-disclose.This Experience Will Provide You An Opportunity to/for:1. actual involvement in an intercultural communication process.2. immediate application of and reaction to concepts learned in the course.3. learning directly about another’s culture.4. understanding cultural as well as individual similarities and differences.5. exchange of experiences with another(such as foods, meals, family, etc.)To Prepare for the Interview:1.
