Student Perspectives on Intercultural Learning from an Online Teacher Educati...Shannon Sauro
This study reports on intercultural learning from the perspective of student participants in an online teacher education partnership which brought together student teachers in five countries to explore and discuss technological innovations in language teaching. The student perspectives reported upon here were drawn from one intact class of graduate students who participated in this telecollaboration as part of a required sociolinguistics course, in which the telecollaboration served as a discussion point for course themes (e.g. language ideologies, language socialization, multimodal literacy, gender identities and language education, and language and ethnicity, etc.).

Concurrent Distractions: A Cross-Cultural Study of Media Multitasking BehaviorAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : As media usage continues to increase on a global scale, fueled by the proliferation of mobile
devices, this facilitates the effortless behavior of mediamultitasking. This paradigm shift in the way in which
media is consumed presents fundamental challenges for the domains of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI),
education, psychology, and commerce. This technological shift introduces a new dimension that is needed when
attempting to understand user interaction related to both the devices themselves andthe digital platforms
accessed. This study begins a process of developing an understanding of cross-cultural media multitasking
habits through a survey of a large group of experimental participants. In this study, participants from two
different countries were surveyed. The countries used in this study were the USA and Portugal. This research
provides valuable insights into theincreasingly common phenomenon of media multitasking and the similarities
and differences between cultures when users are engaging in this activity. This study contributes to previous
research in the realm of media multitasking by expanding on foundational knowledge on a global scale setting
the stage for more detailed research on predictors, outcomes, and habits of global media multitasking.

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…
Delivering value through data future agenda 2019Future Agenda
Delivering value through data - final report. Throughout 2018, Future Agenda canvassed the views of a wide range of 900 experts with different backgrounds and perspectives from around the world, to provide their insights on the future value of data. Supported by Facebook and many other organisations, we held 30 workshops across 24 countries in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe. In them, we reviewed the data landscape across the globe, as it is now, and how experts think it will evolve over the next five to ten years.
The aim? To gain a better understanding of how perspectives and priorities differ across the world, and to use the diverse voices and viewpoints to help governments, organisations, and individuals to better understand what they need to do to realise data’s full potential.
We are not aware of any other exercise of this scale or scope. No other project we know of has carefully and methodically canvassed the views of such a wide range of experts from such a diverse range of backgrounds and geographical locations. The result, we hope, delivers a more comprehensive picture of the sheer variety of issues and views thrown up by a fast-evolving ‘data economy’ than can be found elsewhere. And, by providing this rich set of perspectives, we aim to help businesses and governments - to develop the policies, strategies, and innovations that realise the full potential of data (personal, social, economic, commercial), while addressing potential harms, both locally and globally.

The influence of culture on marketing communications: critical
cultural factors influencing South African and German businesses
Abstract
The area of international communication possesses great potential for research. This study is undertaken in order to
understand the influence of national culture on marketing communications between South African and German
businesses. The study is undertaken as a cross-sectional quantitative survey combined with qualitative in-depth
interviews to provide better understanding of the information obtained from the survey. The data was collected with the
aid of a research questionnaire, which was emailed to the research sample. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS
(Version 17.0) and descriptive analysis was carried out using tables and figures as well as the application of inferential
statistics. The research sample was obtained from the Membership Directory 2010/2011 of the Southern African-
German Chamber of Commerce and Industry with contact details of 500 companies located in South Africa and
dealing with German businesses. Findings of the study revealed the following as critical cultural factors to marketing
communication: language, value systems, religion, level of education, attitude towards time, as well as the marketing
communication style and marketing messages. The study has revealed the emergence of new challenges for companies
operating internationally. The national culture of each country is highlighted as an area of importance whose variables
exert considerable influence on the communication process. In light of the research findings, recommendations for
improving international communication between South African and German companies are provided.
Keywords: cross-culture, national culture, marketing communication, Germany, South Africa.

Introduction1
Globalization has increased people’s need to be
involved in international activities. Due to the fact
that people from different cultures become more and
more interdependent on each other, intercultural
communication is becoming a common issue to deal
with. Regarding the increasing importance of
intercultural communication, many scholars and
researchers have produced works on various topics
related to intercultural communication (Boroditsky,
2010). According to Samovar et al. (2007, p. 10),
“intercultural communication involves interaction
between people whose cultural perceptions and
symbol systems are distinct enough to alter the
communication event”. As summarized by Peltokorpi
(2010), intercultural communication has been defined
by various scholars as communicative encounters
between people or groups with different back-
grounds. ‘Intercultural’ means the comparison of
cultures in contact, which in the context of business,

Knowledge Gap Hypothesis:
Introduction:
This theory is concerned mainly with “information” and “knowledge” and emphasizes that knowledge is not distributed equally throughout society.
There are haves and have-nots with regard to information just as material wealth Information is very important in our society because any developed country depends on well-informed citizens.
It appears certain that information will be even more important in the future as we move into an increasingly technological age.
Many contemporary issues will require information and an informed public for the solutions for such issues.
Role of mass communication:
* One of the great promises of mass communication is that it provides people with information they need.
* It has the potential of reaching people who have not been reached by other means (poor and undeveloped people).
One example of an effort to use mass communication to provide information to the disadvantaged is the “educational TV program” Sesame Street (which combined information with entertainment for preschool Children.).
Other mass communication efforts that have the advantage of getting information to people usually not reached
is the televised presidential debates that might take the presidential election campaigns to people who would not normally be exposed to the campaign.
The attempts to increase people’s quantities of information from mass media might have some unexpected or undesirable effects.
This undesirable possibility is that mass communication might actually have the effect of increasing the gap in knowledge between members of different social classes. This possibility is called: “ Knowledge gap Hypothesis”.
The authors of Knowledge Gap Hypothesis:
• § The Knowledge Gap Hypothesis was first proposed in 1970 by Tichenor, Donohue and OLien. Mostly, it is known as Tichenor et al or Tichenor and his colleagues’ hypothesis.
Tichenor et al . Stated the KG Hypothesis as follow:
“As the infusion of mass media information into a social system increases, segments of the population with higher socio-economic status tend to acquire this information at a faster rate than the lower status segments, so that the gap in knowledge between these two segments tend to increase rather than decrease”.
The hypothesis predicts that:
• § People of both high and low socioeconomic status will gain in knowledge because of the additional information, but that persons of higher socioeconomic status will gain more.
• § This would mean that the relative gap in knowledge between the well-to-do and less well-off would increase.
Tichenor and his colleagues suggest that:
The K. G. is particularly likely to occur in such areas of general interest as public affairs and science news. It is less likely to occur in more specific areas that are related to people’s particular interests-areas like sports or garden care.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
