Teaching Paper: Glossary of Cross-Cultural Communication Terms

This Teaching Paper introduces a structured glossary of cross-cultural communication terms that integrates theoretical clarity with real-world application. Covering key concepts such as active listening, adaptability, bias, intercultural dialogue, restorative justice, and value clashes, the glossary offers both definitions and practical notes on use in organizational and community contexts. Designed for academics and practitioners alike, it serves as both a reference tool and a training resource to strengthen cultural competence in non-profits, faith-based organizations, and development settings.
