Intercultural Communication: Writing for Multiple Language Audiences; Collaboration: Team Projects [LO-5], Chapter 2

With a team assigned by your instructor, review the Facebook pages of fi ve companies, looking for words and phrases that might be confusing to a nonnative speaker of English. If you (or someone on the team) is a nonnative speaker, explain to the team why those word choices could be confusing. Choose three sentences, headlines, company slogans, or other pieces of text that contain potentially confusing words and rewrite them to minimize the chances of misinterpretation. As much as possible, try to retain the tone of the original—although you may fi nd that this is impossible in some instances. Use Google Docs to compile the original selections and your revised versions, then email the documents to your instructor.
