Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Results indicate that differences between students from low- (U. S.) and high-context (international) countries in selected verbal and nonverbal predispositions (communication apprehension, competency, and immediacy), socio-communicative orientation (assertiveness and responsiveness), communication behavior (shyness) were related to differences in perceptions of communication reciprocity in relationships with U. S. instructors. In both cultural contexts, predispositions to avoid verbal and nonverbal communication, lowered socio-communicative orientations, and lowered amounts of communication behaviors resulted in negative evaluations of instructors and less reported learning; however, communicative predispositions, orientations, and avoidance are more problematic for students from high-context cultures in relationships with instructors and learning in U. S. classroom.
