These texts are juxtaposed with the theoretical works on cultural differences by Erin Meyer (2016), and Geert Hofstede (2005), which will lead to the establishing of what cultural tendencies are influencing these approaches. These findings are then discussed to provide possible solutions to negate such differences in order to improve cross-cultural interactions in terms of written feedback in the higher educational setting.Show less
