- Introduction
- Very briefly identify the purpose of the report and its subject
- Identification of Problems/Issues
- Identify ALL issues/problems related to culture and communication. Categorise them into intercultural issues, intercultural verbal communication issues, and intercultural nonverbal communication issues. Demonstrate understanding of those issues through citing appropriate sources.
- Literature Review
- Select a model/framework covered in lectures (slides available on Blackboard under Assessment). Briefly justify suitability of the culture/communication model or frameworks chosen. Critically review the culture/communication model or framework using a wide range of literature. This means briefly describe it, note its strengths and weaknesses, and then briefly conclude the review.

- Explain ONLY FIVE issues/problems (identified in the Identification of Problems/Issues section) using the model or framework reviewed in the Literature Review section and/or any other models or frameworks or concepts covered in lectures.
- Recommendations
- Based on the case analysis, provide recommendations on how the problems/issues could be resolved/avoided. Prioritise and justify the recommendations.
- References
- QUT APA6 for all referencing. Refer to CITE WRITE on the library website for details. We expect you to use a RANGE of references (e.g., books, journals, industry magazines and newspapers). Please only include references for material that you have USED in the report – not material that you have simply read.
Required Format
- Use headings and subheadings
- Write in formal language. Avoid first and second person pronouns (e.g. I, we and you). Use the 3rd person – “It is suggested…” – to create a sense of emotional detachment and impartiality.
- Ensure that you use non-discriminatory, inclusive language
- Number all pages
- Ensure that the in-text references and the references list at the end of the report use the QUT APA6 Referencing Style
- DO NOT include table of contents, tables, and appendices
- The word limit is 1500 words – in this unit the convention is that 10% over the limit is acceptable. If you exceed this limit, a 10% penalty on the assignment’s overall mark will be applied. Reports that do not include a word count on the cover will be assumed to be over the limit and receive a 10% penalty. All words (excluding the title page and references list) are included in the word count.
