SOCIAL MEDIA AND ITS IMPACT ON INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Abstract

Today, it is more affordable than ever before to
arrange for an intercultural communication. This is because Internet with its social
media and its potential to bring learners into direct contact with the target
culture, allow learners not only gain access to authentic publications from the
target culture but they can also take part in online chat rooms, discussion
boards and videoconferences, i.e., learners will develop intercultural
competence. Becoming interculturally competent will allow the learner capture
and understand, in interaction with people from foreign cultures, their
specific concepts in perception, thinking, feeling and acting. This article is,
therefore, about the impact of social media -which make available a context
where people across the world can communicate, exchange messages, share
knowledge and interact with each other despite the distance that separates them-on
intercultural communication. The impact is constantly increasing,since social
media has taken a big role in our social interactions where we no longer have
to speak to people to know what they are doing, while a mouse-click can do the
job instead.
