SO WHAT?
Why Cross-Cultural Understanding?
Awareness of relationship between language and culture (incl. verbal and non-verbal communication).
`Whose culture do we have to learn?'
Linguistically proficient, but culturally
poor = FAILURE!
Tips with CCU (1)
• ‘Beautify’ your CV: Sell your self!• Be tactful to respond to questions in the
application form:
- Choose the right major. Why?
- Why do you want to study in (Australia)?
- What will you do after finishing your study?
• Discuss them with previous awardees
Tips with CCU (2)
Attending interview = ‘formal clothes’
Smile
Look smart and confident (sugesti).
Nice entry and sitting position.
Eye contact with all interviewers.
Memorise all answers in the application form.
Be honest!
MANY PEOPLE WHO GIVE UP OFTEN DO NOT REALISE THAT THEY JUST NEED ONE MORE STEP TO BE SUCCESSFUL!
