Content Description: 

"The object of this paper is NOT to provide a formula for effective cross-cultural communication. (It would be arrogant of me to suggest that i could provide such a formula). Rather the intention is to highlight some of the factors that can influence the effectiveness of cross-cultural communication and involves dealing with such questions as: Who wants to communicate whith whom? Why? For what purpose? What are some of the barriers to effective cross-cultural communication?"

Table of Contents: 

Definitions of culture -- Some examples of mis-communication (From Metge) -- Some commonly held viewpoints of Pakeha teachers of Maori children that can be barriers to effective communication -- a) The cultural deprivation view or 'deficit' view -- b) The 'cultural difference' viewpoint -- c) denial of cultural differences -- References.
