Everything we think say and do is processed through our ow.pdfaarikaadesigners
Everything we think, say, and do is processed through our own cultural
backgrounds. But because culture is absorbed and passed down from generation
to generation rather than explicitly taught, were seldom aware of it.
Culture shapes not only our values and beliefs, but also our gender roles, family
structures, languages, dress, food, etiquette, approaches to disabilities, child-
rearing practices, and even our expectations for childrens behavior. In this way,
culture creates diversity.
For teachers, it is essential to see and understand your own culture in order to see
and understand how the cultures of children and their families influence childrens
behavior. Only then can you give every child a fair chance to succeed.
Think about your own upbringing. How did your familys expectations affect what
you did? Were your parents, siblings, and other relatives close or distant? Were
they strict, lenient, or somewhere in between? Were your schools expectations any
different? All of this, and more, plays a part in how you view the behavior of the
children you teach.
These ideas lie at the heart of NAEYCs position statement Advancing Equity in
Early Childhood Education. Its guiding principles include
One major takeaway from the position statement is that early childhood educators
must support consistently warm and caring relationships between families and their
children, respect families languages and cultures, and incorporate those languages
and cultures into the curriculum, their teaching practices, and the learning
environment.
Children bring their own set of culturally based expectations, skills, talents, abilities,
and values with them into the classroom. And they begin to develop their self-
concept (at least in part) from how others see them. To form positive self-concepts,
children must honor and respect their own families and cultures and have others
honor and respect these key facets of their identities too. If the classroom doesnt
reflect and validate their families and cultures, children may feel invisible,
unimportant, incompetent, and ashamed of who they are.
Many people, including educators, have long believed it is better to act colorblind
and/or cultureblindthat is, to not acknowledge color or culture. But research has
shown that this artificial blindness keeps us from recognizing, acknowledging, and
appreciating important differences. Worse, it may lead to unintentional bias toward
or disrespect for those who are different from us.
We know now that acknowledgments of color and culture are essential for
legitimizing differences. Color and culture make each one of us special and enable
us to offer unique gifts and opportunities to groups we are part of. At the same time,
color and culture help children learn about each other and the world. In short, color
and culture enrich classrooms.
To appreciate what each child can contribute to the class, teachers need to learn
about each familys cultural values. Helping children to see themselves.

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.

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.

Bilingual and Clinical Considerations

2. “Selena”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14gyU53hMJk
- Story of a rising star in the music industry
- Everyday pressures of what it takes to “make it”
- Family stressors; father, siblings, intimate relationship;
family structure; hierarchy; familismo y machismo (“In a
community that is poor and often oppressed there is so much suffering that men are taught aguantar; to grin and
bear it. “aguantate” the men around him say. A macho does not show weakness. Grit your teeth, take the pain,
bear it alone and be touch (Anaya, 1996, p. 63)
- Goals as a child vs adult; playing outside vs gaining
appreciation for music and the industry
- What would therapy look like?
3. Bilingual/Cultural Considerations
“Family and emotional matters may be most comfortably
expressed in one language while conversations about
work may be most fluently discussed in another”
(Chavez, 2014)
Switching based on “context and need” (Chavez, 2014)
“Usually one is the dominant language” (Chavez, 2014)
In “Selena” the “code switching” (alternancia de
códigos) is seen among the various relationships;
depending on who is conversing, and what emotion is
being portrayed (Gross, 2012 & Carra, 2009)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWIHGptRVzY
4. Bilingual/Cultural Considerations
“Bilingualism is used when an
individual wants to focus in on a
certain word or is unsure of a word
in the other language” (Gross,
2012)
Ex: “Estoy muy….excited..”
What does this say about Selena
and her fan base? Is this a bilingual
implication (unsure of the word
“excited” in Spanish), or wanting to
represent both sides of her fan
base? (Latinos and US-Americans)
Familismo displayed by
Selena’s father
When Selena (dressed in a
bustier) is first seen by her
father;
“¿Qué está pasando? What
is happening?!” (Pride of
culture from father’s
perspective)
Selena’s relationship with
Chris Perez

5. Clinical Considerations
Awareness of the issues of
diversity in counseling session
(assumptions, biases, values)
(Segura-Herrera, 2014).
Family session; awareness of
family hierarchy; father as the voice
Knowledge of worldview of client
(Corvin & Wiggins, 1989)
Attitudes, opinions, how we think,
etc
Is the therapist ethnically similar? If
not, could pose problem (García &
Zea, 1997)
Importance of family/familismo
If no recognition of importance of
family, resistance may
develop/premature termination of
therapy (Gloria & Rodriguez, 2000)
Effectiveness of therapy; value of
the family and familial structure
(Gloria & Rodriguez, 2000)
***Selena’s meaning of the
world/future vs her fathers?
Develops into an agreement
between Selena and father over
time?
6. “Spanglish”
- The intertwining of 2 cultures (White, US-American
family, and Mexican mother and daughter)
- Language barriers
- Coping with adjusting to US-American lifestyle and
sticking to culture of origin at the same time
- Flor uses her daughter to interact with the family
(language barrier)
- What would therapy look like?
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXkSBXrdDxs
7. Bilingual/Cultural Considerations
- Initial moment when Flor is introduced to Deborah (the
mother of the wealthy family), there is a linguistic
component addressed with Flor’s name.
- As film progresses, Flor begins learning English, but still
implements “Spanglish”
- Flor’s reaction to the family she works for; all about
money, ignoring of daughter’s needs. (What do you think Flor’s values
were growing up vs the values of the Deborah? Familismo? Lack thereof?)
- Flor: “Just try it on”
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbAtkEm1D3o
8. Bilingual/Cultural Considerations
- When Flor gets angry, how does she express her anger
toward Deborah?
- How does Flor want her daughter to be brought up in the
US? Is Deborah influencing Flor’s daughter in a negative
way?
- The language barrier somewhat prevents Flor from truly
expressing her emotions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBKNMABdZwc
9. Clinical Implications
- Because of Flor’s experience in Deborah’s household,
will Flor express a need for a Latino/a therapist?
- A non-Latino therapist may not attend to Flor’s
psychosocial needs; adjusting to life in Deborah’s
home/acculturation, conveying true/raw emotions
(Kouyoumdjian, 2003)
- Flor’s worldview vs. Deborah’s?
- Flor’s belief in raising children; giving attention, love,
care, compassion; familismo , “buying” love versus
simply “loving”?
