Satya Wacana Christian University is famously known as mini Indonesia, this is because students who pursue their education in this campus come from various regions, tribe and ethnicities in this country. On one hand this condition brings diversity that characterizes Indonesia. On the other hand, diversity requires the existence of mutual adjustment, adaptation and respect. Therefore, understanding how each ethnic group adapts becomes an urgency. In Satya Wacana Christian University, from the various tribes and ethnicities, Papuans and Malukuese ethnics are two fairly large ethnic groups that are in this university. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this paper seeks to express acts of communication by migrants (especially Papuans and Malukuese ethnics) when adapting in cultures. The results of this research are divided into 3 phases, first phase or the first year of the informant or students from ethnic outsiders still huddle or socialize with his group, the second stage or second year they already want to open up more to blend in with other groups, and the third stage is a stage where they're really able to master themselves and adapt to new environments.   Keywords: Intercultural Communication, Migrant Communication Actions, Cultural Adaptation, Satya Wacana Christian University.

The ability to speak one language is considered insufficient for successful career development. It is believed that speaking more than one language can deliver economic growth of the country. Integration and globalization in education set new educational standards for future professionals. The study is relevant due to the significance of the English language in various spheres of activity. The development of the intercultural communicative competence is the main objective of educational institutions all over the world and international organizations such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). English as an international language is considered by the author as a tool for cross-cultural communication. The main aim of the research work is to identify the concept of cross-cultural communication as a part of intercultural communication competence. The authors reveal potential challenges in language learning and give different approaches to successful language acquisition. The case study of the USA as one of the multi-ethnic countries in the world deserves examining. The system of education in the USA takes leading positions in the matter of modernization and reformation. Fundamental principals in English as a foreign language/ English as a second language learning reflect the well-organized system ensuring the development of tolerance, respect for the representatives of different ethnic groups, their cultures, beliefs and values, thus, providing efficient intercultural communication.

Intercultural Communication Competence

AbstractThe conceptualization of intercultural communication competence (ICC) has been updated tentatively since it was formulated in the 1970s. A common recognition is that development of ICC can only be realized through an individual’s adaptation, which results from the integration of the multiple forces within the individuals themselves. However, most of the existing research on ICC has focused on the conscious aspects of competence like abilities or skills that are distinguishable, that is, what to adapt, rather than the less conscious aspect, or its correlation with the unconscious part, that is, the how to adapt, or what the process of adaptation is. The absence of investigation into the adaptation process may have been a consequence of the educational context of studies on ICC, which depends much on, or is heavily affected by, the Cartesian dualistic viewpoints that emphasize the dichotomy of mind–body while ignoring the “middle” in between. Based on our previous semiotic analysis that explained the process of intercultural communication as a form of semiosis, this paper adopts more perspectives from edusemiotics to conceptualize learning following a triadic framework with emphasis on the process as the “middle,” which renders it possible to reflect on the process of individuals’ adaptation in contexts of intercultural communication.

Resource Mobilisation

The world continues to battle the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Whereas many countries are currently experiencing the second wave of the outbreak; Africa, despite being the last continent to be affected by the virus, has not experienced as much devastation as other continents. For example, West Africa, with a population of 367 million people, had confirmed 412 178 cases of COVID-19 with 5363 deaths as of 14 March 2021; compared with the USA which had recorded almost 30 million cases and 530 000 deaths, despite having a slightly smaller population (328 million). Several postulations have been made in an attempt to explain this phenomenon. One hypothesis is that African countries have leveraged on experiences from past epidemics to build resilience and response strategies which may be contributing to protecting the continent’s health systems from being overwhelmed. This practice paper from the West African Health Organization presents experience and data from the field on how countries in the region mobilised support to address the pandemic in the first year, leveraging on systems, infrastructure, capacities developed and experiences from the 2014 Ebola virus disease outbreak.
