The analysis focuses on one specific event, in which students’ expectations of particular behavior or response were not met because their interlocutor was from a different culture. The procedure prevents stereotyping and judgements of what is right or wrong, promotes self-awareness of cultural rules that govern their own behavior and finally instills understanding why people from other cultures do the things the way they do.}, pages = {17--21}, title = {A 10-step Analysis of Cultural Encounters - a tool to broaden the cultural understanding of Japanese students}, volume = {38}, year = {2017} }
