This volume is intended as a guide to cross-cultural communication for American guests and Colombian hosts interacting with each other. For this study, American guests and Colombian hosts were asked to talk about themselves and each other. Part one, "Scenes of Guest-Host Miscommunication," discusses scenes of interaction between the guest and host in the household, with particular reference to bathroom, bedroom, and living-dining areas. Part two, "Role Relationship of the American Guest," deals with the relationship between the American guest and his host family in general and between the guest and specific family members. Finally, implications for foreign language teachers and cross cultural trainers are discussed. (Author/AM)
