AWARENESS AND SENSITIVITY
IN COMMUNICATION IDEAS
Good day everyone, So my topic for today is all about Cultural and Intercultural
Awareness and Sensitivity in Communication Ideas.

2. The foreign language teaching does not only involve
linguistic competence or performance and verbal
communication but also it is much to do with
intercultural awareness and intercultural skills.
- Lazgin Kheder Barany
According to Lazgin, understanding our identity ug ang atong culture being socially constructed can create a
big impact saatong kinabuhi ug saatong pang adlaw2x. Also, diba saatong present days karon where most of
the people is naga toon na ug different languages, for example Kita na mga Pilipino mag toon ta ug Korean
Language, or specifically kana ilang inisturyahan. But it doesn’t mean na ang ato lang ge tun an ang ilang
language lang but also, as we go along the way sa pag toon sa ilang language atoa sab ma acquire ilahang mga
traditions and culture. Therefore tama ang ge ingon ni Lazgin na Teaching does not only involve linguistic
competence and verbal communication but also it is much to do with intercultural awareness and intercultural
skills. We are not only learning their language, but also naga adapt sab ta ug knowledge gikan sa ilaha.

3. According to Whitehead, 1929 the language education should also aim at producing
men who possess both cultural and expert knowledge.
Language Awareness, Intercultural Awareness, and Communicative Language
Teaching helps learners transfer culture, knowledge, values and education beyond
classroom to influence way of thinking.
The aim of this topic is to shed light on how Language awareness, Intercultural Awareness and
Communicative Language teaching refers to the understanding of diverse cultural perspective and
ability to convey ideas across cultural boundaries. this is important, because These Awareness
creates successful communication and enhances better understanding and collaboration among
others.

4. It highlights the ‘Intercultural Dimension’ on the hope
that “language learners who thus become ‘intercultural
speakers’ will be successful not only in communicating
information but also in developing a human relationship
with people of other languages and cultures”.
So, Intercultural dimension is important because it fosters understanding, respect, and collaboration among diverse
groups. Kaning Intercultural Dimension kay gina promote niya ang empathy, ug gina reduce niya ang mga
misunderstandings between sa mga tao na lahi lahi ug language na ginagamit ug lahi lahi ug mga cultures. Tapos
ang Intercultural speakers, mao ni sila ang mga tao na effective communicator between people from other cultures.
They are possessing the expertise in cultural differences, kung unsay kalahian ani na culture ug sa ubang culture. In
short, they obtain such awareness to avoid misunderstanding towards people from other culture.

5. It enables learners to communicate with people
from different linguistic and cultural background in a
diverse and multicultural world. Communication can
never be out of context and because culture is a part
of context, communication seldom culture free.
This means na ang communication is a culture free. Where in despite of your culture, and tradition still nay
communication na ma hitabo. Language and culture is uban gyud na sila duha ug dili na sila pwde ma bulag. It
is because ang FLT/SLT doesn’t only concerned with the communication skills but apil pod ang personal og
social development. Tungod ani maka create ta saatoang self og Social competence ug Promotion sa atoang
Independent Learning ug apil nasab atoang social responsibility as an individual.

6. So, for the conclusion, for us to create a harmonious relationship sa
ubang tao with different languages and culture, we must be able to
instill an understanding sa ilang mga cultures para maka create ta ug
bond (BAND NA PAG BASA) ug effective communication sa ilaha. This is
important kay in our everyday life is naga communicate ta sa lahi lahi na
tao na nay lahi lahi ug perspective sa kinabuhi about sa ilang mga
cultures and traditions.
