COMMUNICATION STYLES IN VARIOUS
MULTICULTURAL CONTEXTS
As mentioned in Lesson 1, each person
has a unique style of communicating,
which may depend not only on his/her
linguistic ability but also on his/her
cultural and social context. Some are
outspoken; some are more quiet yet on
point. Some always seem formal, while
some have a lot of introduction before
getting to the main point.
COMMUNICATION STYLES IN VARIOUS
MULTICULTURAL CONTEXTS
Communication style refers to the choices
people make and the strategies or tools
they use in the process of communication.
A style may sometimes depend on the
demands of the communicative situation,
as well as on the needs and requirements
of the target recipients of the
information.

expected to be respectful, uninterrupted, and
restrained to specific rules. Slang is never used and
contractions are rare. Examples are registers used in
