Welcome to the first ever intercultural podcast. 'absolutely intercultural!' is its name and, as far as we know, this is the first podcast in the world to deal with intercultural issues. We'll be releasing a new episode every second Friday evening, looking at all intercultural aspects of human intercultural communication. For example, we'll be hearing from students on foreign work placements, asking how teachers can make use of intercultural exercises and simulations in their classroom and sharing with you any intercultural gossip we come across. 'absolutely intercultural!' won't be so much about passing on information but more about starting an intercultural dialogue between the makers, and you, the contributors and listeners.
Holliday, A., M. Hyde and J. Kullman. 2004. Intercultural communication: An advanced resource book. London: Routledge. The essential text for the MCCA stream, although not a full text version.
This is a good, basic guide to using graphics in most formal texts, including academic essays and reports. It's adapted from the hardcover book 'Power Tools for Technical Communication' by the same author. It was written in the 1990s, so the stuff on scanning is out of date, but the basics are sound.
A useful textbook about the basics of writing academic research essays. It covers similar ground to the recommended text by Grellier and Goerke, but with some interesting online examples.
