Assignment Two: Analysis of cross-cultural communication

The purposes of this assignment are to assist you to reflect on your crosscultural
communication skills and to improve your knowledge and
understanding of another culture.

1. critical analysis of an interview with a person from a culture
different to your own ( I AM FROM INDIA AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO AN INTERVIEW WITH AN AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL PERSON )

Option 1: Critical analysis of an interview with a person from a culture
different to your own
To complete this option you will:
? conduct an interview with a person from a cultural background
different to your own
? critically analyse your interview process and techniques, including
reflection on areas of strength and strategies for improvement
? use a reflective practice framework eg Gibb’s (1988) Reflective
Cycle Model to guide your writing
? use appropriate peer reviewed professional references to support
your points.
Your interview should cover aspects such as heritage, language,
immigration (if applicable), religion/spirituality, family and community,
festivals or other celebrations, education and health-related beliefs. It
is NOT meant to be clinical interview or systems review. The focus of
your analysis must be your approaches to the interview and interview
techniques rather than the actual interview content.
If your interviewee gives permission, audio or video tape your interview
(with permission of course!) and use the tape to review your interview
techniques and prepare your assignment.

HEA 561 Health assessment in a bio/psycho/social context
Compare and contrast your interview techniques eg your use of appropriate
cross-cultural approaches, with those recommended in the literature.
NB: The interview summary and analysis should emphasise the processes
and techniques of cross-cultural interviewing, using examples from the
interview and the literature to illustrate and support your points. In order to
provide a clear analysis, compare and contrast your practice with the
research-based recommendations. How did you or did you not address the
research recommendations? Be explicit. Use appropriate peer reviewed
professional references to support your points.
Tips:
? Use your report to analyse your interview process and techniques.
? In order to provide a clear analysis, compare and contrast your
assessment, with the process and techniques described in the
literature. How did you or did you not address the areas and
strategies in the literature? Be explicit. Use a range of literature to
support your points.
? Use a reflective model to help guide you beyond superficial
observations into deeper reflection on what went well, what could be
improved and how you will improve your future practice.
