The Integration of Cross-Cultural Communication in Performing Arts: A Short Video Making Project

Abstract

Recently, under the influence of the internationalization of universities, many international students have been attracted to study in Taiwan. Therefore, the opportunities for students to interact and communicate across cultures on campus have gradually increased; however, most Taiwanese students still have insufficient cross-cultural experience when facing international students. Due to the above problems, the purpose of this study is to explore how international students can complete a short video project with Taiwanese students’ assistance. This is an one- semester project with 20 students’ involved (10 international students and 10 Taiwanese students). Those students are all from Innovative Design College of a University in Northern Taiwan. With on-site observation, post-interviews and "Intercultural Competence Scale" questionnaires, the researcher collect both students’ feedback related to cross-cultural communication, trying the figure out the challenges between international students and Taiwanese students in the learning process. The findings will help to understand the impact of cross-cultural cooperation on the development of students' cross-cultural communication skills, provide relevant suggestions for future studies and finally create a friendly international campus environment.
