In your essay:

1. introduce the key ideas that will inform your reflections on your experiences
2. explain why you chose these experiences as examples of intercultural communication
3. describe what you observed during the experiences (about yourself and others)
With reference to relevant literature:
4. discuss your reflections on what it is that is going in these experiences
5. suggest how these experiences exemplify intercultural communication in the contemporary world
6. consider how these experiences and reflections have affected your thinking about yourself and others in intercultural communication, including language, culture and communication.
