Coming from Translation (and Interpreting) Studies (TS or T&IS), I must admit I don't know much about Intercultural Communication (Studies), despite the two fields having a lot in common. While TS isn't very well known as an academic (inter)discipline, it is extremely dynamic and its researchers are strongly attached to the field. My question to ICS scholars is how would you introduce the field to someone who is not very familiar with it? How do you refer to the discipline? Who are the leading authors, what are the pivotal texts? Are there "maps" of the field? What are the best introductions to the discipline? And so on and so forth! Thank you!
I am quite happy to contribute to the ICC field!
It's a very data-based driven research field with decades of tradition and huge progress forward in recent years)
Hello. I wrote phd thesis about this topic. So ı made research many times. I found intercultural communication competence scale of Yakar & Alpar. ı used it. I think, its a discipline that is studied in perspective of social sciences, education, tourism. I reviewed tourism studies. It's a very extended field.
Hi,
I attach an article about the community cultural competence model, which I developed in my thesis. I hope it will be of interest to you. I remain at your disposal for further information.

There is a vast array of interesting research in this field. My main interest is in the area of education, specifically in international education. In this respect, you can check Jackson, 2018. It is also important to note that effective intercultural communication requires an interculturally sensitive attitude and cultural knowledge (Nunez, Nunez, & Popma, 2017). Regarding the links between IC, multilingualism and creativity, you can check our work (de Prada et al. 2020).

The field of Intercultural Communication (IC) has long been discussed. One of the prominent and clear ideas about the field is an 'emerging' and 'Interdisciplinary' field. A prominent IC scholar Steve Kulich and his colleagues have reviewed the historical roots of IC. Simply put, by using an interdisciplinary approach, IC scholars can contribute to various fields of the humanities, arts, and social sciences such as Global Studies and Comparative and International Education that deal with cross-cultural adaptation and acculturation patterns or cultural conflict issues among migrants, sojourners, or international students and their families.

Great points Prof. Nam. I agree IC has found roots in other multidisciplinary fields. International education has also developed very closely within the IC field. Excellent work at SISU and to the School of Education
