MANAGING INTERCULTURAL SKILLS AND CROSS-CULTURAL PRACTICES THROUGH INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES
Abstract
In the world of academia, research and teaching are never really disconnected interests. On the contrary, they co-exist in a virtuous circle, where each feed into the other and focus on the interdisciplinary frameworks, which motivate the innovative structures of higher education and maintain discourse relations by providing in a concise way, an ocean of information about abstract knowledge. The implementation of interdisciplinary subjects, such as innovative language strategies, effective Intercultural Communication, and cross-disciplinary practices could be as challenging as esteemed for continuous professional development. The research area includes various aspects related to interdisciplinary fields by integrating socio-cultural data and cross-cultural dimensions with soft skills invariably serving as a point of reference; its interdisciplinary nature, owing to the developments in language, business, and intercultural research which have influenced its evolution. Intercultural studies, as well as experimental work, reveal that critical thinking can be trained to use task performance of the learning strategy that affects the way people process, acquire, organise, or integrate new knowledge. Provided academics adjoin the assumptions presented by cognitive sciences to the configuration of Figurative Competence, training learners’ cognitive skills both at the conceptual and the verbal level becomes a necessary obligation. The aim of the interdisciplinary approach is to offer mentally challenging analytical thinking and reasoning with a focus on comprehension, strategies of effective communication and control through the implementation of cognitive models. Thus, insightful thoughtfulness, enhanced by explicit analysis and teaching in particular domains is supportive when encountering new paradigms to make a contrastive study of an interdisciplinary subject for reasons connected to the methodology of research.
