Research Reaction Paper OVERVIEW Your primary task in this option is to evaluate how scholars study intercultural communication. To do this, you will first need to use the library resources to find one current article published since 2015 in a Communication Studies journal. It must clearly be original research using quantitative, qualitative, or rhetorical methods. Meta-analyses and reviews of existing literature are not acceptable choices for this assignment. You must then get approval for that article from me. Finally, after you read the article, you should react/report on your reading, making sure to cover the following areas: GOALS To explore contemporary research being done on intercultural communication To practice finding primary sources. To identify relevant components of a research article. To clearly articulate the methods and findings of primary sources.

For textual/rhetorical analysis pieces without explicit research questions/hypotheses, you will need to explain how well they supported their central argument and how they did that/what they found. What are the authors proposing as a result of their research? Conclusions and Future Research: In your own words, what was the most important conclusion to take away from the research report? Why was it important? What did you think of the research (e.g., was it valuable? Was it good? Why?)? What does this research help us understand about intercultural communication? What research do you think should be planned to follow this particular study? Requirements: 3-5 pages A reference page including an APA Citation of the article you chose Double-spaced
