The first tip for conducting cross-cultural communication is to do research and find out about the ethics used by other social workers. For example, you have social workers from Japan, it's best to find out first what etiquette exists in their culture, should they avoid the use of slang words or languages. Because slang languages can cause confusion when the opponent you are talking to doesn't know the context in question and can cause misunderstanding when communicating and offending them. Can implement active listening, a good listening will get you respect because the opponent has been appreciated with their hard storytelling. Lastly, use simple and easy to understand languages.
