Abstract: This paper examines whether cultural differences have become barriers to communication in some situations and whether effective measures have been found to overcome the barriers.It also explores whether more appropriate measures can be adopted to enhance intercultural communication.A brief review of the literature on the studies of barriers to intercultural communication was conducted.A second review of the literature relating to solutions to barriers in intercultural communication and potential problems was carried out.The literature review indicates that many scholars emphasize the importance of being aware of cultural differences and have found measures to overcome the barriers to intercultural communication.The research suggests that more measures should be taken for effective and smooth communication across cultures.
