ABSTRACT This mixed-method study investigates the effects of self-disclosure and reverse culture shock among students returning from studying abroad. While previous literature examined the socio-cultural factors of re-entry, this study explores the role of communication in this readaptation process using a sample of 285 international college students returning home from different countries. Quantitative data showed that some of the dimensions of self-disclosure were significant predictors of reverse culture shock and difficulty during the four phases of re-entry. Qualitative findings revealed reasons for self-disclosure, as well as cultural and interpersonal challenges of sharing one’s experience when returning home. Implications and future directions are discussed to facilitate students’ re-entry through communicative practices like self-disclosure.

ABSTRACT To assess the influence of quality of contact on attitudes towards intercultural communication while quantity remained constant, 21 domestic-international undergraduate student pairs engaged in four 30-minute semi-structured interaction tasks over the course of a semester. Following each interaction, the 42 participants wrote reflections. Using content analysis, these reflections were coded for major themes. Predominant themes common to both domestic and international students include: Thought-provoking, Learning, and Connection. The least predominant themes common to both domestic and international students include: Stereotype-confirm, No Personal Change, Own-reject, and Awkward. Examination of the most and least predominant themes indicate support for the contact hypothesis.

ABSTRACT The emerging democracy in Cameroon has been experiencing unprecedented challenges in managing sociocultural/sociolinguistic diversity, thus, instigating “The Anglophone Cameroon crisis”. From the trajectory of applied ethics, this article substantially presents those challenges in their ensemble as a lacuna in intercultural governance, thereof demonstrating how the proper exploitation of the expertise of pragmatic intercultural ethics through interactive intercultural communication could help avert this crisis. By this, it is argued that using the wisdom of deliberative reciprocity, otherwise known as practical wisdom, pragmatic intercultural ethics could exploit the services of communicative ethics to contextually manage various disagreements between Anglophone Cameroon and the Government. Underscoring this insight as an indispensable but neglected pillar of emerging intercultural governance in post-colonial Africa, the author elucidates the likelihood that besides negligence and/or ignorance, the intercultural crisis in Cameroon could have been galvanized by “the happiness of the greatest number” theory. Wishing that the awareness of this pragmatic intercultural dexterity revitalizes the spirit of intercultural communication in Cameroon, the author draws the attention of their stakeholders to the wise recommendation of Plato that rulers should become philosophers – that they should seek justice more with the virtue of wisdom than with force/power.

Body weight status misperception, perceiving one's self to be thinner than one's body mass index (BMI), is growing in the United States. At risk for lifestyle-related disease, African Americans face more dire consequences with respect to this misperception than others. In a sample of African American Kentuckians, we found a moderate level of body weight status misperception. Educational attainment was the strongest predictor of body weight status misperception, with more education associated with less misperception. These findings suggest that health communication for African Americans should address body weight status misperception and be tailored for individuals' level of educational attainment.

ABSTRACT In the midst of heightened racial tensions across the United States, this study documents the prevalence of racial microaggressions as reported by 17 attorneys of colour (African American, Asian American, and Latinx) from across different national regions. Qualitative data provides insight into to how these race-based messages are situated within assumptions of inferiority, similarity, and criminality. Through a co-cultural theoretical lens, the study also highlights the diverse, nuanced, and conscious ways in which attorneys responded to such problematic interactions – including the strategic response of “doing nothing.” In doing so, the findings reported here extend existing research on microaggressions generally and contributes to the growing literature on how people of colour negotiate the prevalence of racial microaggressions in different professional contexts.

ABSTRACT This paper examines cultural and semantic challenges in translating Qur’anic dialogue from Arabic to English. Using Arthur Arberry’s translation as a case study, this study aims: to find Arberry's translation strategies to render Qur’anic dialogue between God and Moses from Arabic into English, and assess whether these strategies are successful in revealing the intended message. This study compares Arberry’s translation with al-Hilālī and Khān's to examine the differences in translation between a non-Muslim Arabist translator of English origin and Muslim translators of Arabic and non-Arabic origin. The study assumes that the cultural background of the translators affects the accuracy of the translation. Arberry’s translation is amongst the most credible Qur'anic translations, while al-Hilālī and Khān’s translation is the most widely available translation in English-speaking countries. This paper considers Venuti’s domestication and foreignization strategies as a standard in the analysis of the cultural differences between the source text (ST) and the target text (TT). Newmark’s translation strategies are used to determine the frequency of domestication and foreignization in the translation of Qur’anic dialogue. The findings provide a more accurate guide for translation of Qur’anic texts to uncover the intended meaning and reduce cultural and semantic loss in the TT.

ABSTRACT Stylistic variation is one of the prominent features of Qur’anic discourse, which deals with similar linguistic elements but varies stylistically and semantically. Translation of stylistic variations creates insurmountable challenges during comprehension and rendition into the target language, although they do not receive due attention in translation studies. To bridge this gap, the stylistic variations in seven prominent translations of the Noble Qur’an (Al-Hilali and Khan, 1996; Ali, 1934; Arberry, 1955; Pickthall, 1930; Sahih International, 1997; Sarwar, 1981; Shakir, 1999) that are taken from The Qur’anic Arabic Corpus are studied. Integrated exegetical and stylistic analyses of translations of stylistic variations are employed, highlighting many Qur’anic stylistic challenges. Findings revealed deviant translations and translation loss in some of the data, untranslatability of stylistic features and the relative possibility of rendering the meanings of untranslatable features into English. The implication of the results of stylistic variation has been discussed.

ABSTRACT This study examines the effectiveness of the Intercultural Interaction Zone (IIZ) instructional model in transforming traumatic or sad experiences instigated by war and migration into inspirational ones in the English-as-a Foreign Language (EFL) literacy classrooms. We propose the IIZ model consisting of literature circles and citizenship authentic materials as a socio-critical zone of proximal development that would promote intercultural citizenship competence. The participants were six instructors (n = 6) and 124 (n = 124) EFL learners. The syncretic testimonials of the Syrian learners (n = 36) and their teachers were narratively analysed. Results revealed that the IIZ intervention was effective in improving the literacy outcomes and in transforming learners’ trauma resulting from displacement and war experiences into mediums for success and optimism.

ABSTRACT In this essay, I examine Japan’s mixed-race identity (i.e. hafu) and negotiation in Hafu: The Mixed-Race Experience in Japan. This essay is concerned with Japaneseness as a theoretical and conceptual framework in order to investigate how the dominant homogeneous discourse of Japaneseness marginalizes or positions hafu individuals in contemporary Japan. Simultaneously, this essay illuminates the possibilities to further interrogate hafu identity through a close reading of Hafu: The Mixed-Race Experience in Japan. Overall, the goal of this essay is to critique and facilitate scholarly conversations about the relationality between Japaneseness and hafu identity.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the current study is to further test interdependence theory as a predictor of relational maintenance behaviours. The study sought to understand the relational maintenance behaviours of romantic interracial and intraracial dating partners. This study conceptualized a method to explore how equity, according to interdependence theory, is associated with relational maintenance strategies of interracial and intraracial dating couples. Participants included 133 interracial dyads and 131 intraracial dyads who had been in a romantic relationship with their partner for at least a year. Findings indicate that there is a significant difference in the use of maintenance strategies.
