A study on introductions in Vietnamese and American culture

Abstract

This paper will compare and contrast cross-cultural communication between Vietnamese and American cultures in introduction. As East and West cultures differ, there are interesting differences in their untroduction. Through this research, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of introductions in a variety of contexts, as will the English learner. As a result, the research contributes to a greater understanding of cross-cultural communication differences among potential international communication interactions.The thesis has the following goals: To show differences and similarities between the Vietnamese and English introduction. To educate potential cross-cultural interactants on the differences between American and Vietnamese nonverbal communication and the use of greeting gestures.
