Intercultural Project/Paper – individual.
The Intercultural Project is your opportunity to apply what you have learned in class. You will choose
a distinct ethnic group (e.g. Timoresse, Balinesse). You will then pose the following questions: 1) If
you (as a Sundanesse or Javanesse), lived among these people, how would their communication be
similar or different from your own? How would they accept or perceive you? 2) If these people came
to your province for instance, how would their communication be perceived here? How would it be
similar? How different? How would they be accepted?
Your answer to these questions will be discovered in a careful, systematic investigation that involves
the following.
a. Literature Review (6) Find a minimum of 15 scholarly sources (journal articles, books) about your
project.
b. Face-to-face interview and transcript (10) Conduct one (or more) face-to-face interview with a
person who is from, or has lived a substantial period of time—5 years or more—in the culture of
the ethnic group you are studying. This interview must be audio recorded and transcribed
verbatim. It is expected the interview will take at least 20 minutes.
c. Final Paper (14) Write an 4-6 page paper that presents findings from this project. The paper must
be structured in the form of an argument that includes the following: 1) pose a research question
or questions, 2) discuss the relevant literature, 3) explain the method or methods used to answer
the question or questions, 4) present findings, 5) summarize important issues found through the
project, and 6) look forward by posing issues for future study. A hard copy of the paper must be
turned in class and in CD format (one for one class).
